What is the Euphonix MC control?
Let’s find out… Euphonix’s MC Control is a companion controller to the MC Mix, reviewed by Paul White back in the April issue of SOS. While the MC Mix focuses on fader and plug‑in control, the MC Control gives you hands‑on access to many other aspects of your software via a touchscreen, assignable buttons, and a jog wheel/transport section.
Is the Sony MC Pro A complete controller?
The MC Pro is, as this review will make clear, a complete controller in its own right. However, it’s also possible to use it as the heart of a much larger control surface by adding optional fader banks. When so equipped, the resulting surface is known as the System 5 MC, to bring it into line with its bigger stablemates.
Will the Euphonix control network work on a system 5 console?
I would very much say so. The Euphonix Control Network (see news item in last month’s SOS) was originally developed for the company’s System 5 consoles, but is now supported natively in several of the top DAWs.
Is Euphonix’s open-ended control surface the most ambitious yet?
Now Euphonix have turned their hands to a pure control surface with no audio pathways, and in doing so, have attempted possibly the most ambitious surface ever devised: one with no ties to a specific platform or operating system, and a truly open-ended architecture.
What is the new Euphonix Artist Series?
The new Artist series brings Euphonix’s innovative Eucon technology to the project studio market. Does the MC Mix put existing fader controllers in the shade?
What are the dimensions of the MC mix?
Overall the unit measures 16.5 x 9.5 inches and is barely an inch thick, yet with its neat layout, clean lines and uncluttered panel, it looks thoroughly professional. The MC Mix connects to the host computer via Ethernet.
What is the difference between EUCON and MIDI?
The use of Ethernet means that data bandwidth is vastly higher than MIDI, which most controllers in this price range use, and Eucon also offers better data resolution than MIDI, where controllers are commonly restricted to 128 discrete values.
