MC Client Software Configuration
General
Installing MC Client is discussed in the MC Pro Installation Guide. Once installed, MC Client does not need further configuration
for applications. It automatically detects if an application is EUCON-aware and enables EUCON communication. If an applica-
tion is not EUCON-aware, it enables the MC keyboard, trackball, and Soft Keys to control your application as if the MC were a
peripheral directly plugged into your workstation. Since MC Client runs at the operating system level, it can control all non-EU-
CON-aware applications just as your regular keyboard/mouse combo can (with the useful addition of Soft Key macros).
Configuring HUI/Mackie Control Protocol
Since HUI and Mackie Control Universal use MIDI to communicate, they require allocation of MIDI ports by the operating
system. The EUCON software creates a virtual MIDI driver with up to 32 ports, but actual communication with the MC occurs
over the faster and more reliable Ethernet network. HUI and Mackie Control use up to four MIDI ports per application. Ports are
allocated by the user using the EuPrefs (OSX) or the Euphonix Control Panel (Win).
