Introduction; Installation; Changing Modes; To Change The Mode Of Operation - Mackie Control Universal/Control Extender Quick Start Manual

Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) control solution.
Mackie Control Universal and Mackie Control
Extender provide the familiar feel of analog-style
mixing to your DAW environment. But they also
deliver the most complete feature set and software
compatibility of any control surface available today.
The labels for the buttons and controls are
specific to Emagic Logic. Custom lexan overlays are
available for other supported DAWs (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.
Consult the CD included in the box with your
Mackie Control Universal, which contains additional
manuals in PDF file format for all the currently
supported platforms. Be sure to visit our website at
www.mackie.com to obtain the latest manuals and
marketing literature for all your Mackie products.
Mackie Control Universal has three different
modes of operation:
1. Mackie Control (use with APB Tools TH-S,
Cakewalk Sonar, Magix Samplitude and
Sequoia, MOTU Digital Performer, RML Labs
Saw Studio, Steinberg Nuendo and Cubase SX,
and Adobe Audition [previously Syntrillium
Cool Edit Pro]).
2. Logic Control (use with Emagic Logic).
3. HUI (use with Digidesign Pro Tools).
When you first turn on Mackie Control Universal,
the display prompts you to select a mode of
operation:
• Press Ch. 1 V-Pot to select Mackie Control.
• Press Ch. 4 V-Pot to select HUI.
• Press Ch. 8 V-Pot to select Logic Control.
Once you've made your selection, Mackie Control
Universal will automatically boot into your selected
mode each time you turn it on.

To change the mode of operation:

1. Turn off
the Mackie
Control.
2. Hold down
both the
Ch. 1 and
Ch. 2 SELECT buttons
while turning on the
Mackie Control.
3. The display once again
prompts you to select a
mode of operation.
• Connect the Mackie Control Universal to your
MIDI interface via two MIDI cables (IN and OUT).
• Connect one end of the external power supply
to the Mackie Control Universal, and the other
end to an AC power source between 90 VAC
and 264 VAC (50–60 Hz).
• Turn on the Mackie Control Universal 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 Universal/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 Universal 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 Universal 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 Universal or Mackie Control
Extender.
3. You need to have separate MIDI IN and OUT
jacks on the MIDI interface for each Mackie
Control Universal and Mackie Control
Extender (see illustration below).
