Not really. This is taken care of by the learning process. You can manually edit the project files of the non-midi-mapper program (which acts as the MIDI<->OSC gateway in this scenario) though. > > > > If you are using a hardware MIDI controller, it should be trivial to > > reprogram it to invert the meaning of the LED for the mute button.

Maybe. I need more justification than that though, because it sounds like it would just confuse everyone else (myself included). I'd suggest using NM as is for the work you're doing and then maybe submitting another feature request with more information.

However a double- or > right-click dropdown would be a very simple solution (for the user). You mean a context menu to select a port to connect to? Yeah, that's on my list. I thought the Drag and Drop thing would be cool, but it didn't turn out to be all that useful.

Does the Behringer USB-MIDI > interface work in Linux or do you use an additional MIDI-interface? The BCF2000 works just fine over USB, in fact in the case of Non, that's the preferred method of connection because you can have multiple BCF2000s connected without them interfering with one another (great care must be taken of course when daisy chaining actually MIDI connections to avoid CC # collisions). That X-Touch looks pretty cool. I like the jog wheel. However, BCF2000 works fine and can be found waaaaay cheaper (I got mine for ~$50).
