Interfacing X-Touch modules to X-Air mixers, Mixing-Studio and CuBase - includes OSC solutions!

Hello everybody.

I know that people have shown interest in the past in using Max to link Behringer X-Touch control units or other devices to their X-Air mixers (X32/M32/XR18/XR16/XR12 etc) and CuBase but have struggled to get things to work, especially when trying to use OSC. I have developed a substantial patcher that sits the X-Touch and X-Touch Extender between CuBase and an XR18 orX32 Rack and seamlessly switches between the two. At the moment, I use Mixing Station as an intermediary between Max and the X-Mixer as it handles all the MIDI messages and overcomes some of the quirky interface that Behringer has chosen to use but in the fullness of time I intend to convert some/all of these to OSC. I have attached the current version of my patcher that interfaces to an XR18 although the X32 uses much the same command set. I'd welcome feedback, suggestions and tips that might be on offer and willingly offer up my patcher as a source of ideas for anybody struggling with these concepts. You'll need to unlock it to see and open all the hidden sub-patchers!
