JL Audio MCS-3800 manual Remote Control of the LEDs, M Buttons Have More Than One Purpose

Remote Control of the LEDs

The F and M buttons can have their LEDs turned on and off remotely.

The LED are controlled by the same commands that the buttons send.

That means that if a MIDI Sequencer is recording the output of the MCS Controller, the LEDs on the MCS Controller can be automated

The M Buttons Have More Than One Purpose

The user can assign an M button to send a command, just like any other function button.

The user can also choose instead to use the M buttons as Machine Enable buttons.

This was discussed in detail in the last chapter.

To briefly restate here, when assigning a button in Assign Mode, you dial through a menu of available commands. Selecting "MMC" or "CS-10" will cause the M button to act as a Machine Enable button. (Additional choices include or 9 Pin or GPI if optional interface cards are installed.)

The Cursor Buttons Have More Than One Purpose

The user can assign a Cursor button (one of the four buttons to the left of the LCD) to send commands, just like any other function button.

Be aware that, once the MCS Controller has been put into Assignment Mode, and you are editing a Control, the left and right Cursor buttons are used to move the LCD cursor while editing the names of the controls.

The F and M Buttons have LEDs

While the F, M, W, and Cursor buttons can all be user assigned in a similar manner, the F and the M Buttons also have LEDs.
