Chapter 6: Soft Knobs

The MC has nine touch-sensitive knobs with LED display rings to control many param-
eters. These can also send out HUI data but are more effective when used with EuCon-
aware applications in which they can intelligently access functions such as EQ, dynam-
ics, aux sends, or plug-ins.
Left and right keys are available to page within a knobset. The eight knobs operate on
one channel/track within the selected knobset. On the MC, the Soft Key LCD displays
show the knob function and when touched, the knob value. Switches are available for
automation and other knob-related functions.
The Assignable Knob (the bottom-left knob in the Soft Knobs section) can be dynam-
ically assigned to most knob or switch functions in Nuendo and Logic Pro. For exam-
ple, moving the pointer over a track panner in Nuendo, assigns pan to the MC's
Assignable Knob. With Logic Pro, clicking on a track panner, assigns that function to
the MC's Assignable Knob. The Assignable Knob can be locked to a particular function
by pressing the Assignable Knob's top.

Knob Cells

The Soft Knobs area is like a Super Channel or Track Inspector to edit a single track. A
channel can be attentioned to the Soft Knobs area for editing, which is different from se-
lecting it. A DAW can select more than one track at once. Attentioning (sometimes called
focusing) is meaningful only for the control surface and is done one track at a time.
