JL Cooper MCS- Panner
The JL Cooper MCS 3000 MIDI Panner
provides a joystick for surround panning,
along with other output and panner
controls.
Requirements
• Pro Tools / HD –series or MIX-
series systems.
• The MCS – Panner Controller
Personality File, must be
installed in the Controllers folder
within your DAE folder.
(Available from Digi Site).
• MIDI Ports. The MCS-Panner
requires MIDI In and Out
connections from your MIDI
Interface in order to
communicate with Pro Tools.
Make sure your MIDI Interface
has a pair of IN and Out ports
available for the MCS –Panner.
Connect the MCS-Panner
according to the installation
instructions provided with it.
 Pro Tools can only support a single
joystick panner at a time; you cannot
attach more then one MCS-Panner, or
combine the MCS- Panner with any
other supported joystick control surface.
Consequently, the MCS-Panner will be
automatically disabled when an
EditPack is present as a control surface
in Pro Tools. You will not be able to
enable a MCS-Panner or any other non-
Digidesign panning control surfaces in
the MIDI Controllers window while an
EditPack is enabled as an Ethernet
control surface.
Installation and Configuration
The following are basic instructions for
configuring and connecting the MCS-
Panner. Refer to the MCS-Panner
manual for additional instructions and
information.

Dip Switches

On the rear of the MCS-Panner are four
dipswitches that must be set. These dip
switches define the particular MIDI
messages which are sent from the unit
and expected by the Pro Tools
personality.
