----
Without Mackie Control Universal Pro, your music production
software just isnt complete. MCU Pro rounds out your softwares
functionality to deliver the ultimate in hands-on command. In
fact, your software was designed with MCU Pro in mind. Developers
access the MCU Pro via its unique communication protocol
pioneered by Mackie and determine precisely how MCU Pro works
for you. That means MCU Pro integrates with your software like no
other hardware controller. Say goodbye to sub-par responsiveness
to your mix adjustments, trying to remember which knobs are
assigned to which parameter, and the tedious process of MIDI
ping. With MCU Pro, you get deep, intuitive control of mix and
plug-in parameters, real-time visual feedback and set up is plug
and play without any MIDI ping whatsoever!
And MCU Pro goes far beyond simple faders and transport controls
it gives you the most comprehensive feature set on the market.
With nine 100mm Penny + Giles optical touch-sensitive faders, a
full-sized backlit LCD and V-Pots for fast tweaking, MCU Pro is
the only desktop control surface that can truly make your music
production experience complete.
With optional expandability via Mackie Control Extender Pro
ender Pro and Mackie Control C4 Pro, MCU Pro is also the only
software control surface that can grow with your studio.
DISPLAY FOR DAYS
A control surface isn't much good if you have to keep looking up
at your computer monitor to see the parameters you're tweaking.
That's why we equipped the Mackie Control Universal Pro with a
generous two-line, 55-character backlit LCD to display parameters
like track name, channel metering, I/O assignments, plug-ins, EQ,
dynamics or anything our various software partners want you to
see. Without dividing your attention between control surface and
computer monitor, your mixing speed, efficiency and creative
control are all distraction-free. And since it's always a good
idea to know where you are in your program material, MCU Pro also
sports a big, seven-segment LED timecode display bright enough to
jam enemy radar.
CHANNELS, FADERS AND BANKS
Every Mackie Control Universal Pro comes equipped with nine
100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders from Penny + Giles one
for each channel, plus a master fader for that pro console look
and feel. With support for an unlimited number of banks, MCU Pro
can handle as many channels as your music production software can
throw at it.
Each fader channel also has a genuine Mackie rotary V-Pot,
surrounded by an LED collar to indicate the current value, and
dedicated buttons for record ready, solo, mute, channel select,
and signal present LED. In addition, the master section includes
buttons for navigating channels individually or in banks of
eight as well as for software specific controls like assigning
I/O, sends, EQ, dynamics, and plug-ins to name a few.
MASTER OF YOUR APPLICATION
We know it doesnt matter to you how many applications the
Mackie Control Universal Pro works with what matters is that it
works with yours. While MCU Pro is compatible with all major
music production software, it is also designed to specifically
work with your application just access your softwares
parameters in the master section and you can get right down to
action. We even supply pre-labeled Lexan overlays for your
application so it not only functions like the MCU Pro was
designed for your software alone, it looks that way, too.
MORE OF A GOOD THING: MACKIE CONTROL EXTENDER PRO
The Mackie Control Extender Pro is an eight-channel control
surface extender Pro ension for MCU Pro. Slightly narrower than a
MCU Pro, the Extender Pro ender Pro has all the channel strip
features of the MCU Pro without the master section. Depending
on your music production software support, multiple EExtender Pro
ender Pro units can be used together with a MCU Pro to emulate a
large-scale control surface with as many faders and pots as
desired. Click to image
COMPLETELY COMPLETE YOUR CONTROL
The Mackie Control C4 Pro is a plug-in and virtual instrument
controller that allows you to take precise control of up to 32
channel, plug-in or virtual instrument and eExtender Pro ernal
MIDI hardware parameters simultaneously. C4 Pro operates in
standalone mode, or you can easily connect to the MCU Pro via the
master modules onboard USB MIDI interface for complete command
of all your software parameters. The included C4 Commander Pro
software lets you take control of MIDI hardware such as
synthesizers, effects and amp modeling processors, all without
leaving the mixing sweet spot.
