When opening any MIDI-software (in my example Loopy Pro): Is it possible to read the current MIDI values/status of all parameters in a MIDI device?

BACKGROUND:
I have a digital mixer (Zoom LiveTrak L6 Max) that reads and sends various MIDI values for volume, mute, pan, etc.
If I make changes on the L6 Max, it is easy to read the status in Loopy Pro. Similarly, it is straightforward to send, for example, a volume value to the L6 Max.

CHALLENGE:
But the challenge is to extract the status of all MIDI values from the L6 Max so that Loopy Pro can be updated (for example, when I open Loopy Pro).

I can send a volume value (and similarly for all MIDI parameters) to the L6 Max so that Loopy Pro and the L6 Max are synchronized. But then the problem is that I have SENT (and changed) a MIDI value instead of RECEIVED it.

SOLUTION: ??

Hi, I am not sure if this works the way you want. Usually, you receive MIDI messages in form of an event. If no event occurs, you don't get the message.

MIDI version 2 allows bi-directional communication, but I think this more for MIDI CI.

Some mixing desks support Opensound Control by connection to a NIC, LAN or wifi.
