ICube Max Plugin-40 Commands

The iCube Max plugin responds to the following commands. If a command has aliases they are displayed following the command, in brackets and separated by commas. Commands that in turn send commands as System Exclusive MIDI messages to the digitizer refer to the firmware command in capitals. More information about the command can be found in the applicable firmware section on this support wiki.
