Installation - Mackie MCE Quick Start Manual

Eight channel master control surface and eight channel extender for digital audio workstations

Advertisement

Introduction
Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) control solution.
Mackie Control and Mackie Control Extender provide
the familiar feel of analog-style mixing to your DAW
environment. But it also delivers the most complete
feature set and software compatibility of any control
surface available today.
Custom lexan overlays are available for each
supported DAW (see the Overlay Request Card
included in the box). These overlays fit over the
right-hand side of the control surface and correctly
label the buttons for the functionality supported by
the DAW you are using.

Installation

Connect the Mackie Control to your MIDI
interface via two MIDI cables (IN and OUT).
Connect one end of the external power supply
to the Mackie Control, and the other end to
an AC power source between 90 VAC and
264 VAC (50–60 Hz).
Turn on the Mackie Control POWER switch.
Launch your software program of choice
Select your software's console or surface
manager set up window.
Select the Mackie Control MIDI Mapping. If it
is not included in the version of software you
are using, go to the software company's
website or to www.mackie.com/mackiecontrol
and download the MIDI map for your
particular application.
+
Once the appropriate MIDI map is selected
within your software's preferences, the unit(s)
will be recognized automatically.
Mackie Control/Mackie Control Extender
units can function as a single large console —
a "Control Surface Group."
Each Control Surface Group can be configured
independently. As an example, you can control
volume and pan settings with one unit while
editing plug-in settings with the second unit
(if the software that you are running will
accept these parameters).
To connect one or more Mackie Control and Mackie
Control Extenders:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT jack on your computer's
MIDI interface to the MIDI IN jack of the
Mackie Control or Mackie Control Extender.
2. Connect the MIDI IN jack on your computer's
MIDI interface to the MIDI OUT jack of the
Mackie Control or Mackie Control Extender.
3. You need to have separate MIDI IN and OUT
jacks on the MIDI interface for each Mackie
Control and Mackie Control Extender (see
illustration below).
