The supported remote control devices
JL Cooper MCS-3000
The MCS-3000 can control 32 mixer channels remotely (in
groups of 8). The following MCS-3000 controls will remote
control the following mixer parameter for each channel strip:
• Fader: volume
• Solo and Mute: solo and mute
• Sel: Select channel for editing
These parameters can be remote controlled for each selected channel
using the dials on the MCS-3000 and switching between Pages 1–4:
• The MCS-3000 bank keys 1–4 are used to select
channels 1–32 in groups of 8.
Bank key 1 selects channels 1–8, bank key 2 selects channels 9–16, etc.
• You can create markers by pressing the “Set Locate”
key on the MCS-3000, typing in a marker ID and pressing
[Return].
• To locate to a marker, press “Locate”, type in a marker
ID and press [Return].
• The MCS-3000 Play, Stop, Record, Rewind and Fast
Forward transport controls will have the equivalent func-
tionality in your application.
Mackie Control
Mackie Control is an automated touch-sensitive control
surface. It is a nine-fader (eight channels and master) MIDI
controller that provides in-depth mixing, editing, automa-
tion and navigational control for any supported digital au-
dio workstation. A special Lexan overlay that shows all
Steinberg-specific key assignments for the Mackie Con-
trol device is available to customize the controller for your
program.
This is described in a separate chapter, see “Mackie Con-
trol” on page 17.
Mackie HUI
Mackie HUI can control any number of channels in groups
of 8.
• Use the left and right Bank buttons to select channels
1–8, 9–16 etc.
• Use the left and right Channel buttons to shift the fader
assignment in steps of one channel.
• The Fader button in the Auto Enable section is used to
disable/enable the motors.
• The Mute, Pan, Send, Plug In and Send Mute buttons in
the Auto Enable section are currently not supported.

The MCS-3000 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing
fader settings and channel mute, solo and selection
status to be indicated on the panel. For this to work,
you need a two-way MIDI connection between the
MCS-3000 and the program.
