If you have another Artist Series controller connected to the same instance of EuControl as MC Control, you can also lock the
SHIFT key by pressing two SHIFT keys down simultaneously. They can be on different devices. Unlock the SHIFT key by pressing
and releasing one quickly on any device. See "My Surfaces" on page 32 for more information.

Fader Strips

MC Control provides four fader strips, each with a touch-sensitive fader, that control tracks in an audio or video application.
Fader
The fader controls the track assigned to this strip. It is motorized, so it reflects changes made in the application, such as automa-
tion. It is also touch sensitive, which some applications use when automating.

Fader strip
When the Select by Touch General preference is enabled, touching a fader selects that track in the application and focusses it, just
like pressing the SEL key. (See "Preferences" on page 36.) Holding down the SHIFT key and touching a fader sets it to unity gain.
ON
The track is on (unmuted) when the strip On key is lit and off (muted) when the strip On key is not lit.
