[PlanetCCRMA] JACK Rack and vkeybd

[mrskinnyarms]

This is true, it does that for me as well.
But I'm having trouble interfacing the Rack with vkeybd.

After adding a control for "enable", JACK Rack gives me the "JACK Rack midi
controls" window which looks something like...

Plugin            Control     Index      MIDI Channel     MIDI Control    
Min Value    Max Value
Effect name    Enable           1                         0                      
0              0.00             0.00

I can only edit the MIDI Channel, MIDI Control, Min Value, and Max Value.
I'm looking to create a number of MIDI controls for the "enable" option of
different effects so I can turn each effect on and off in response to a
particular key being hit.
