Description

Your idea

Hi!
I am used to using NI Kontakt, where I can right click on a virtual knob and select Assign MIDI CC, then assign it to my MIDI controller potentiometer knob.

I would like to be able to assign my physical MIDI CC knobs to the volume sliders or effect sends in the Mixer panel in MuseScore as well.

Problem to be solved

This would greatly improve the ease of use and productivity, allowing me to hide the mixer panel, but access the controls through my MIDI keyboard knobs.

Prior art

Here is how it looks in NI Kontakt, when right-clicking on a knob in the interface:

Research direction

The request concerns MIDI CC input and controls in the Mixer panel, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how Mixer controls and MIDI input are currently handled. Done means physical MIDI CC knobs can control mixer volume sliders and effect sends, including when the Mixer panel is hidden.
