HARDWARE CONTROLLER 361
Using multiple controllers, extenders, and multi-bank controllers
A maximum of four controllers may be positioned in the controller selection list. For
example, if you select a Mackie Control and want to add an extension to it, then just add a
Mackie control again. This will be added automatically directly below the first one. In this
case, the second controller is treated as the extension. Specify the correct MIDI ports for
this controller, too.
If the order of both devices is not correct, simply swap their positions via drag & drop or
change the MIDI ports.
If you wish to have both controllers working parallel and independently, drag them using
the mouse so that one is directly beneath the other in the list.
Activate EuCon: Activate this check box if you are working with a EuCon controller. The
connection may be updated at any time via the corresponding button.
Track count: Specifies the number of tracks in a bank available to the controller. This is
usually eight tracks. Mackie Control and HUI protocols can only communicate with eight
channels per bank. However, there are also controllers that have a native mode that is able
to learn several channels (64 max.). This value is 1 for single track controllers.
Output
Deactivate: If your controller does not have any motorized faders, you can use this option
to deactivate transmission of controller data.
Normal Send: Program data (e.g. mixer fader changes) are sent to the controller. MIDI
controller data is received and processed.
Send Echo: Program data (e.g. mixer fader changes) are sent to the controller. MIDI
controller data is received and processed and sent back to the controller. This is required
by the controller to update features such as LED displays and buttons. If your controller
has difficulties with this (e.g. Logic Control), activate "Normal Send".
Send Echo (without fader touch): Program data (e.g. mixer fader changes) are sent to
the controller. MIDI controller data is received and processed and sent back to the
controller. In this case however, the fader values are not returned when the faders are
moved (activated fader touch), but rather only the last value after the fader is released is
sent (in order to prevent increased data volumes). If your controller experiences difficulties
with this feature (e.g. Logic Control), then activate "Normal Send".
