Mackie Control Universal

Mackie Control Universal is a widely used MIDI-based protocol that controls applica-
tion parameters and supports metering in many DAW applications. The extent to which
Mackie Control can be used depends on the specific application's implementation. The
MC uses its own MIDI-over-Ethernet driver (incorporated into the EuCon software) to
easily control these programs without MIDI cables.
As with HUI, you must have already:
• added the application(s) to control to the Euphonix Preferences pane (page 20);
• set their Protocol to Mackie Control;
• configured the MIDI ports they will use.
This information is required before each application can be configured.

Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro

Configuring Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro to operate with the MC is very simple.
Since both are Apple applications, their interfaces are similar and instructions may be
combined.
Before proceeding, Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro must already:
• have been added as non-EuCon applications in the Euphonix Preferences Pane;
• set to use Mackie Control,
• have MIDI ports set.
To finish the configuration:
1. In Final Cut Pro, choose Tools->Control Surfaces.
The Control Surface dialog opens.
2. In Soundtrack Pro, choose Soundtrack Pro->Preferences.
The Preferences dialog opens.
