Mackie Control Universal
Mackie Control Universal is a widely used MIDI-based protocol that controls application parameters and supports metering in
many DAW applications. The extent to which Mackie Control can be used depends on the specific application’s implementation.
The MC uses its own MIDI-over-Ethernet driver (incorporated into the EUCON software) to easily control these programs without
MIDI cables.
You must have already done all of the following:
• Added the application(s) to control to the EUCON Preferences pane.
• Set their Protocol to Mackie Control
• Configured the MIDI ports they will use.
This is required before each application can be configured.
Final Cut Pro 6 and Soundtrack Pro 2 (Final Cut Studio 2)
Configuring Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro to operate with the MC is very simple. Since both are Apple applications, their in-
terfaces are similar and instructions may be combined.
Before proceeding, Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro must already:
• Have been added as non-EUCON applications in the Euphonix Preferences Pane;
• Set to use Mackie Control,
•Have MIDI ports set.
To finish the configuration:
1 In Final Cut Pro, choose Tools > Control Surfaces.
2 In Soundtrack Pro, choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences.
3 Click the Control Surfaces tab at the top. Now both programs can follow the same instructions.
Add Control Surface dialog (Soundtrack Pro)
