Page 2: Requirements
It is also necessary to download the Mackie_control_v3.bs3 library file to the Bitstream 3X (download is done using the Bitstream 3X configuration software) See the end of this document to know how to program the Bitstream 3X with the Mackie library file using the configuration software.
Page 3: List Of Controls Emulated By The Bitstream 3X
From the firmware version 1.6 and higher, the Mackie control communication is done on MIDI Out 1 and USB Out 1, while all other controls of the Bitstream 3X are generating standard Ccs on MIDI Out 2 and USB Out 2.
Page 4: Leaving The Mackie/Logic Control Mode
All the following controls are sent/received on MIDI Out 1 and USB Out 1. The others controls of the Bitstream 3X that are not emulating Mackie/Logic controls are sent on MIDI Out 2 and USB Out 2, these controls send standard Ccs, please refer to the Mackie control library file to know what Ccs are assigned to these controls.

Mackie/Logic control specification. Master fader level The Bitstream 3X displays the master fader level. It is not a part of the Mackie/Logic control specification but very useful. This information is displayed on the bottom right of the Bitstream 3X LCD.
Page 6 Mackie/Logic control jogwheel, the Bitstream 3X encoder will be used as a selector function, as all other Bitstream 3X operating modes. Transport buttons The Bitstream 3X transport buttons emulate these controls. This emulation is available on the group 0 of the Bitstream 3X. www.waveidea.com...
Page 7 The Bitstream 3X Up and Down buttons emulate these controls while the Bitstream 3X current function is 'Group'. When changing group on the Bitstream 3X, Fader Left right bank change MIDI events are sent by the Bitstream 3X (Left = Down / Right = Up) Channel bank buttons The Bitstream 3X programmable buttons emulate these controls.
Page 8: Example Using Ableton Live 5 / 6
Open the preference menu in Ableton Live and select the MIDI configuration tab. On the screen shot below, we can see the Bitstream 3X USB port 1 has been selected as the active MIDI input for remote controls (this allows to mix the Mackie control mode with the User defined mode of the Bitstream 3X) No MIDI sync has been selected since it is already implicit to the Mackie control mode.

Page 10 Bitstream 3X) From the Bitstream 3X menus : MIDI Config -> MIDI Merge -> Merger Outputs -> USB Out 1 -> Off Please note if you are using the MIDI Output instead of the USB output, the merger configuration described above must be changed accordingly.
Page 11: Example Using Logic Pro/Express V7
(while the USB or/and MIDI outs 1 are dedicated to controls emulating Mackie/Logic) Example using Logic Pro/Express V7 Logic is compatible with the Mackie Control mode or the Logic control mode. You can use the Bitstream 3X Logic emulation mode to control Logic.
Page 12: Example Using Cubase Sx
AN003 : Bitstream 3X – Mackie/Logic control emulation Please note the V-pots of the Logic control are not emulated by the Bitstream 3X because of the different nature of the controls (Bitstream pots are analog potentiometers, on the other hand, Logic pots are endless encoders).
Page 13 Once this configuration is done, you can start to add controls, the top part of the following windows allows to define the type of events that are received from the Bitstream 3X MIDI Out 2, here must be selected standard Continuous controllers (Ccs), the channels and numbers must be set according to the library Mackie control that has been downloaded to the Bitstream 3X.
Page 14 AN003 : Bitstream 3X – Mackie/Logic control emulation The above screen illustrates the configuration of Cubase SX for all controls that are not emulated by the Mackie control mode. 4 knobs have been added, the first knob (Knob 0) is configured to receive MIDI continuous controllers on channel 1, number 0, Knob 1 is configured to receive MIDI continuous controllers on channel 2, number 0, and so on.
Page 15: Downloading The Mackie/Logic Control Library
Once launched, go to the preference panel and configure the different fields as follow : MIDI In and Out devices where the Bitstream is currently attached must be selected. If you have installed the Bitstream 3X Xp drivers, you will see the above MIDI peripherals, otherwise you will see “USB audio device” strings.
Page 16 AN003 : Bitstream 3X – Mackie/Logic control emulation You can now load the library file you want to download to the Bitstream 3X. All the available libraries are located under the Bitstream 3X configuration software folder, under the sub folder “lib”.
Page 17: Download The Global And Realtime Parameters To The Bitstream 3X
Select the “Assign common ..” or “Assign User & Mackie ..” panel and click “Download All to 3x” Once the button is clicked, all assignments for all the 21 groups will be downloaded to the Bitstream 3X, please note the Bitstream 3X display indicates the assignments are being programmed.
Page 18 AN003 : Bitstream 3X – Mackie/Logic control emulation Alternatively you can download a single control to the Bitstream 3X, simply select it using your mouse and click “Download selected to 3x” Please note the Mackie control library can be updated with your own assignments, the provided file corresponds to a minimal library that can be updated by your own requirements.
