PMX-1 currently supports two midi controllers, the Faderfox PC4, and the Behringer CMD-1, as well as one USB HID device, that can also be used as audio interface, the Native Instruments Traktor Z1.
The two midi controllers are usable with the default configuration, plug and play, the following sections describe how to use them. The Native Instruments controller needs some configuration before it can be used, the necessary steps are described in the Traktor Z1 section.
The Faderfox PC4 is set up to be automatically connected to the correct output when PMX-1 is running. PMX-1 recognizes the default configuration of the Faderfox PC4. The control numbers are mapped as shown in the table below, and each Midi channel is mapped to the corresponding layer, depending on the layer selector, either on the Behringer CMD-1, or on the Open Stage Control GUI.

The cross-fader on the CMD-1 functions as a layer selector. If it is on the left half of the cross-fade range, every controller is controlling layer A, otherwise they control layer B. The layer selector is also shown on the Open Stage Control GUI.
