8 Extenders will require a custom file as there are no combinations listed
9 at this time. The best way is to start with the mc.device file and copy it
10 to a new name such as xt+mc.device and then edit that file. It is best to
11 name the file with the order the devices are expected to be used in as
12 the position of the master device is specified in this file.
15 The two lines of interest are:
18 >Extenders value="0"/>
19 >MasterPosition value="0"/>
22 Add these two lines if they are not present. The <code>Extenders</code>
23 value is the number of extenders used and should not include the master in
24 that number. That is, it should be the total number of units minus 1. The
25 <code>MasterPosition</code> value is the position from left to right where
26 the master unit (with the master fader) is, starting at 0. So if there are
27 three surfaces, <code>MasterPosition</code> with value 0 would be master
28 on the left, <code>MasterPosition</code> with value 1 would be master in
29 the middle and <code>MasterPosition</code> with value 2 would be master on
33 If the <code>MasterPosition</code> value does not properly match the
34 physcal position and MIDI port, the master fader and global controls will
35 not work. The master unit will act like an extender.
