Hi Fabio,

I use to handle similar control routings by using the "CC To Params"
module. But since your Kaoss Pad sends MIDI Program Change you need to
first convert them into CC#s. Here are the steps in Bidule:

1. Cable from your MIDI Device Input to a (MIDI) Message Remapper.

2. ...OUCH!!!! When doing this hands-on, while typing, I'm discovering
the Message Remapper can't convert PC into CC#. But you can use two
daisy-chained Messe Remappers: first convert PC to NOte and then
converte Note to CC#.

3. Cable the last Message Remapper into a "CC To Params" module.

4. Open the global Parameters window and select the corresponding "CC
To Params" as the source and the corresponding "Mute Channel" number
as the target inside the Mixer.

Good luck! I too am working in Bidule right now. Setting up a minimal
and rock solid gig environment. I have finally acquired the needed
plugins to match the fidelity of Mainstage and as I do a lot of CC#
sweeping Bidule seems a more stable host.
