Comments
The Vortex commands are applicable when you have a Vortex mixer connected to a system. An API client
can send these commands to control a Vortex mixer using the command format:
vortex <portnum> forward <vortexcmd>
where <portnum> is 0 if the Vortex is connected to the first serial port or 1 if the Vortex is connected to the
second serial port, and <vortexcmd> is a Vortex-specific command. Whatever value is passed in this
parameter will be sent to the Vortex.
