Native Module

A native Companion module is being developed for MixEffect. This module exposes many functions of MixEffect through drop-down menus, sliders, and input fields, obviating the need to remember the OSC path and argument order.
NOTE: The current beta release of the native MixEffect Companion Module supports MixEffect commands up to the 1.2.x release. Commands added in the 1.3 and newer releases are not currently supported, so you will have to use the Generic OSC module for those.

Download

The 2.4.x stable candidate for Companion includes the native MixEffect module.

Companion Beta 3.0

The MixEffect module 1.1.9, which is included in Companion 2.4.x, is not compatible with the upcoming Companion 3.0 beta. There is a beta release of the new MixEffect Module that does support Companion 3.0. This beta brings features such as feedback and variables. Documentation on installing and using this module is forthcoming.
