Fake (or Customize) a Mackie Control Surface on Mac … and Windows, too!
Every keyboard, drum pad, and audio interface these days seems to be crammed with MIDI faders and knobs, and (if you’re lucky) LCDs. … Wouldn’t it be great to take better advantage of these controls with programs like Ableton Live, Cakewalk SONAR, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo, Mackie Tracktion, and even graphics and video programs? … on the Mac you can use LC Xmu with Apple’s Final Cut Studio.
… Windows has an equally capable program called Wise Mix MCmu. … Like the Mac equivalent, MCmu lets any MIDI hardware emulate the widely-supported Mackie Control control surface hardware. Any generic MIDI device can be configured … it gives your Yamaha 01x the same features as a Mackie Control, but with additional options. And LCD feedback on your device means you can see what you’re doing … Cost: EUR40.
If you do own Mackie Control hardware, this is equally useful, because you can view and modify controllers. It’s the “missing†config tool the Mackie left out.
