UsesNotesAsControllers=n
Some MIDI devices, certain mixers for example, use MIDI Note events instead of Continuous Controller
events for automation. It is often desirable to treat the Note events as Controller events in order for
them to obey the "Zero Controllers When Play Stops" and "Patch/Controller Searchback Before Play
Starts" settings.
You can enter this variable in any instrument definition by using a text editor, such as Windows
Notepad. The variable should be entered directly below an instrument definition. For example:
[Mackie OTTO-1604]
UsesNotesAsControllers=1
Control=Mackie OTTO-1604
