short answer is no.

In order to do build a fully custom interface build you would need an API which has been discussed at great length over the years, but Bob has not supplied as of yet.

Not to curb your enthusiasm, but as I posted previously, there isn

Forget about trying to control all the channel parameters with knobs, you really only need faders and mutes (everything else can be easily handled with a mouse or touch screen)

If you want 24 channels of controls, get 3 x-touch externders and 3 windows tablets or NUC computers and you can each one to its specific 8channel bank

If you want 24 FOH and 24 Monitor Masters get 6 extenders and 6 tablets.

Or expend as needed to as many channels as you want to control.

Or use a single x-touch and set it to chase the hot channel and it will switch to what ever channel is actively selected with the mouse (including changing from FOH to any selected monitor mixer)

  • I know there is one based on mackie control protocol, but it can only have 8 channels, if it exceeds the limit, it needs to turn the page, which is not flexible and fast enough. I saw the sac instruction manual that there is a self-contained mct file as the control template, but can this file be customized? Is there a program that can open to view and edit this mct file?

  • Is there any open source control template for sac? For example, it can set each corresponding midi to control each control, including fader, pan, eq, including each parameter of 5 groups of eq, such as gain, Q value, frequency point, and 5 parameters of compression, such as the parameters of fx part? By this I mean controlling all the controllable controls on all W mixers with a single midi command. A custom assignment midi command corresponds to a desired control.
  • Second, on this basis, there are as many as 24 monitor mixers, and each parameter of each mixer can be customized. The purpose of doing this is to ensure that each control corresponds to an entity control separately when mixing and debugging on site. Can quickly find the desired control and control in time. For example, when my microphone whistles, I can quickly move my hand to the main output hardware knob or fender and immediately turn off the main output to avoid an accident. Instead of relying on a touch screen, it's harder to make split-second reactions
