Mackie Control
Mackie Control is an automated touch-sensitive control
surface. It is a nine-fader (eight channels and master) MIDI

A special Lexan overlay that shows all Steinberg-specific

The MCS-3000 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing
fader settings and channel mute, solo and selection
status to be indicated on the panel. For this to work,
you need a two-way MIDI connection between the
MCS-3000 and Cubase.
