4.4.5WORKSTATION

The MC Control can control applications running on a second computer, referred to in this guide as a workstation. Press the WORKSTATION key to attach the MC Control to another workstation. You must first use EuControl to create a list of workstations that this key switches between (see Workstations on page 42).

While attached to a second workstation, your Mac’s keyboard and mouse can be configured to control that workstation and not your Mac (see page 51).

4.4.6Navigating Among Multiple Artist Devices

The BANK and NUDGE keys perform the identical actions on the combined set of tracks.

4.5Knobs

Eight touch-sensitive knobs surround the Touchscreen. Each is a continuously rotating knob that adjusts parameters such as pan and aux send levels. The knob has a built-in switch allowing it to be pressed from the top. This is called the Knob Top key and is typically used to access sub-menus but also to turn pa- rameters on/off.

4.5.1Knob Set Selection

A knob set is an array of knobs used by EuCon applications to control plug-ins, EQs, dynamics, aux sends, etc. When the MC Control first starts, the Top Level Knob Set is displayed on the Touchscreen which shows all eight knob sets be- side the eight knobs. Press a Knob Top to select that knob set and enter the MC Control menu system.

Some knob sets can display another knob set called a sub-menu. For example, the Inserts knob set shows the names of every plug-in inserted on the track, one plug-in name per knob. Pressing a plug-in’s Knob Top key displays its parame- ters on the knobs for editing. This new knob set is a sub-menuof the Inserts knob set. Press the BACK key to return to the top of the Inserts knob set. Since sub-menus can be more than one level deep, this can be accomplished by press- ing the BACK key repeatedly.
