MACKIE MACKIECONTROL Details
Mackie Control
is a nine-fader (eight
channels and master) MIDI
controller that provides in-depth mixing, editing, automation, and navigational
control for any supported digital audio workstation. The Mackie Control adheres
to a compact, desktop-style design and offers a full range of
professional-grade features and controls.
Mackie Control has eight channel strips,
each of which includes a 100mm touch-sensitive motorized fader, mute, solo, and
record arming buttons, Signal LED, a Channel Select button, and a V-Pot™ that
can be used to control panning, send levels, EQ, dynamics, and other DSP
plug-in modules. Mackie Control also supports a full automation assignment
section, edit buttons, Undo, Redo, and Save buttons, and a Shift Modifier that
offers dual functionality for specific commands. Complete navigational control
is provided in a tape-style transport with Jog/Shuttle wheel, Loop In/Out
points, and timeline quick jump buttons. All controls live within a small,
tabletop, analog-style control surface with a backlit LCD display that is
comfortable and enjoyable to use.
The Mackie Control works seamlessly with Soundscape 32,
Mackie's new 32-track DAW. In addition, mission-specific software “hooks” (or
specialized commands) have already been written by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU)
to support the Mackie Control. As a result, Mackie Control users can use a
Lexan overlay (that fits right over the master section) to “personalize” the
controller for Digital Performer. Additional hooks will soon be released by
other software companies like Steinberg, Cakewalk and Syntrillium. Once these
hooks are complete, we will release Lexan overlays for each of these companies'
respective DAWs.
extender
The Mackie Control Extender is a channel extension for
Mackie Control. Slightly narrower than a Mackie
Control, the Expander has all the channel strip features of the Mackie Control
– only without the master section. Several Mackie Control Extenders can be used
together with a Mackie Control to emulate a large-scale control surface with as
many faders and pots as desired.
