The MIOS code tracks the encoder wheel, and counts the number of forward and backward steps. Then every couple of milliseconds it sends the relative position as a CC event. The value of the CC is equal to 64 (0x40)plus/minus the number of steps, for example for 10 steps back the value would be 54 (0x36). | The MIOS code tracks the encoder wheel, and counts the number of forward and backward steps.

M-Audio Torq doesn't work as of the current version (1.0.6) as it has a bug in the MIDI code. | + | There are quite a few DJ applications that support MIDI scratching in this format, the two I've tried are [[http://www.mixvibes.com/cross-dj-mac-pc/|Mixvibes DJ]] and [[http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/|Native Instruments Traktor]].
