MCU Control GuidE
The majority of DAW functions are controlled via dedicated AWS front panel switches with less reliance on the 8x8
soft key matrix located beneath the TFT screen than with the HUI protocol. All Plug-In editing is via the channel D-
Pots. The four encoders together with the six switches below the centre section monitor screen, are not used with
the Mackie Control protocol. On the channel fader strips, the Auto key and associated status LEDs are also not
implemented by the protocol. All other controls, the D-Pot and associated encoder switch, DAW channel Solo and
Cut plus the Select and Ready functions, are fully supported. Only mono metering information is returned from the
workstation. On stereo channels the maximum value of the left or right channel is displayed. The master fader is
also included in the DAW layer when a Mackie Control template is active.
The ten keys located above master transport keys provide different related motion control functions according to
the active template. When required tallies for these keys will be displayed on the TFT display in the area next to the
DAW timeline counter.
The Jog Wheel together with the Scrub function key, and the Cursor keys and Cursor mode switch are active in all
templates. The outer Jog Wheel is not supported, neither is the numeric keypad. However the 1-8 keys replicate
F1 - F8 Function keys in certain templates.
