Qu-16 MIDI Control Guidance

Hello, I’m working to control our Qu-16 through MIDI using some third-party software. I’ve downloaded the MIDI Control application for Mac, but I’m running into a few roadblocks to get started.

I’m a bit lost after taking a look at the Allen & Heath MIDI documentation to do some basic control of the faders - mute on/off and fader levels.

The software asks for the MIDI message type, channel/input, parameter 1 and parameter 2. Would I simply set the MIDI Control protocol to CC Translator and do something like this?

Maximum volume - control_change, 1, 7, 127
Minimum volume - control_change, 1, 7, 0

To mute/unmute, what value do I use for the key/note number? I understand I need the following:

Mute on - velocity >= 40 followed by note off
Mute off - velocity <40 followed by note off

Also, do the inputs start at 0 or 1?

Thanks in advance.
