Hi,
My understanding is that SampleTank has built-in Mackie support, so it'd be
very interesting to see what you get. You can grab the free version of the
Reader at http://www.raisedbar.net if you'd like to experiment and I can be
reached via Skype at timburg2005 if you need a hand getting it going. The
paid-for version that I'm working on will allow you to rename all of the
physical buttons, etc. to tailor the Reader's output to suit the application
that you're working with.
Best wishes.

Tim:
I have a ProjectMix IO and I also have SampleTank. So, you think that using
the Mackie display reader you developed, I could control some of the
features of SampleTank? I would be very interested in trying that out.
