Title: Documentation request/suggestion
Post by el_supremo on Apr 1^st, 2009, 2:07pm

Not a bug per se.
Can you add to the docs for Midi Mapper (perhaps in Mapping|Defining Maps) a bold, italicized, bright red note explaining that if you are trying to map note_off events you must remember that rather than sending the specific midi note-off message, many devices send a note-on with zero volume instead. In this case trying to map the note-off event type in Define Mapping won't do anything - you have to map note-on zero volume.
It might save some other old cretin from struggling with this for a couple of hours :P

Well it sounds like you have learned that well ;)

Perhaps a sticky is in order...

Yeah, I'm not likely to forget it again :-)
But I think it would be useful to put a note like that in the Mapping section of the Midi-Ox help file because if anyone else runs into problems with mapping, that's the first place they're likely to look.
