MC Pro User Guide24
Surface Filter Update Period
This setting modifies the interval at which the MC sends automation data back and forth to your workstation(s). The range is
5–250 ms and the default is 42 ms. You will not need to modify this setting unless your project has extensive automation, in
which case you may need to increase it. Be careful because setting it too low (rate too high) may deliver incorrect automation.
Set MC Name
The Touchscreen also displays the name of the MC (default is Euphonix MC), and allows changing it. The MC Name is used to
distinguish between surfaces in multiple-MC configurations.
To change the name:
1 Touch Set MC Name.
2 Type the desired name.
3 Touch OK.
Fader Text Mode and Knob Text Mode
These settings control how fader and knobset scribble strips on the CM408T modules behave when displaying text.
Momentary Value Displays values as they are changed, then reverts to the name after a fixed time interval.
Always Show Names The name of the control is always displayed.
Always Show Values The value of the parameter is always displayed.
The value for fader strips is always the channel level in dB. The knobset value changes depending on what is assigned to the
knobset (such as EQ, dynamics, or plug-in controls).
Soft Key Display and Operation
This setting controls the text brightness/contrast of the integrated LCDs in the Soft Keys, and the timing of button latching, re-
peat delay, and repeat rate. To set the brightness of the Soft Keys, use the arrow keys to increase/decrease the illumination (1–10):
Blue Brightness Sets the illumination for the blue Soft Keys.
Green/Orange/Red Brightness Sets the illumination for the Green/Orange/Red Soft Keys.
Contrast Changes the contrast on all soft keys.
Dim Level Sets the illumination for dimmed Soft Keys.
To set the button timing of the Soft Keys, use the arrow keys to increase/decrease the time:
Latch Timeout Sets the amount of time (50–500 ms) before a held-down button becomes momentary or non-latching. For exam-
ple, a Solo button held down longer than the Latch Timeout setting becomes non-latching and turns off when released. Buttons
held down for a shorter time than this setting behave normally and turn on or off depending on their prior state.
Repeat Delay Sets the amount of time (250–1000 ms) before a repeatable button starts repeating its command when held down
(such as Nudge or Zoom).
Repeat Rate Sets the amount of time (30–400 ms) between the repeated commands when a repeatable button is held down. The
button begins repeating after being held down for the Repeat Delay setting.
