New Product: Euphonix MC Control and MC Mix Pro Software Controllers

Mar 25, 2008 8:45 PM Asher Fulero (Writer)

Using its EuCon control protocol with eight times the resolution and 250 times the speed of MIDI signals (using Ethernet), Euphonix has brought the power of its high-end large-format consoles to incredibly thin and portable controllers. The MC Control ($1,999; www.euphonix.com) and MC Mix ($1,399) create a modular editing/mixing system capable of controlling any software—DAW or otherwise. The MC Control offers a unique customizable touch-screen interface with 12 assignable soft keys that can send keystrokes—and customizable macro commands—to the foreground application, auto-switching between banks of assignments as you move from program to program. Four touch-sensitive motorized 100 mm faders can control any number of tracks, and eight touch-sensitive, push-button rotary encoders offer even deeper control. The MC Mix loses the touch screen and Transport section in lieu of a set of eight faders, as well as eight rotary encoders. Both devices are compatible with EuCon, HUI and Mackie Control protocols and can be chained for as many as 36 total faders (four MC Mix units and one MC Control). The included Studio Monitor Express matrix system controls your system's monitoring connections from the control surface, and there is full control integration for Apogee Ensemble, Symphony and Duet interfaces, as well as native Apple Logic Pro support. The MC units can control multiple applications and multiple workstations via Ethernet, a first for a small-format device. Like a full-size pro console in a tiny box, the MC Control and MC Mix can help you produce with speed and precision.
