Re: [Bluemusic-users] BlueX7 settings don't seem to work

Ok, I see. It would be nice if it worked well, it's a versatile instrument.

I also noticed there is a small error in the documentation on that page, 
it says

"On the 'csound' tab you find by default:

outs aout, aout"


That should be blueMixerOut of course.
