7. Type “\0” in the “Find” text field, make sure that the box labeled “Grep” is checked, and then click “Next”.

8. In the line of text that appears, delete any characters in between the last number and the “/ControlSignalMapper” tag (some strange characters may appear, but this may also show up as blank space). These characters may not be present in all .m5p files, so you may find in some cases that no results come up.

9. Save the file - it will now load properly in MachFive 3!
