FWIW, Justin at ProControl just created a .cml file for the Pro.Relay.4. Can that be imported into the MX-880?

If you want it, PM your email address to me. I'm sending it later today to Daniel for publishing here. And of course, since I was able to nudge Justin into doing that, are there any other ProControl products for which an RTI file would be helpful? I'd appreciate you writing down any reasons you have for further convincing a manufacturer that an ASCII file is not enough!

I took on making a ccf when I thought there were a dozen commands. Once I saw there were almost a hundred, I tried to see if the manufacturer might do something to help, and they did.

What slowed me more than anything else was the senseless order of the file, where since the time periods are not actually in order of time, but in that pseudo-order you get when you sort things in an ASCII file (that is, you get 100 msec followed by 1 sec instead of followed by 250 msec; etc). If I was going to make a file to be helpful, it would not retain that logic mistake, so it was going to take a lot more time to create the file.

I hope the RTI file will be helpful.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
