The Mackie MCU Pro 8-Channel Control Surface rounds out your software's functionality to deliver the ultimate in hands-on command. In fact, your software was designed with the Mackie MCU Pro in mind. Developers access the Mackie MCU Pro via its unique communication protocol pioneered by Mackie and determine precisely how the Mackie MCU Pro works for you. That means the Mackie MCU Pro integrates with your software like no other hardware controller. Say goodbye to sub-par responsiveness to your mix adjustments, trying to remember which knobs are assigned to which parameter, and the tedious process of MIDI mapping. And the Mackie MCU Pro goes far beyond simple faders and transport controls, it gives you the most comprehensive feature set on the market. With nine Alps touch-sensitive faders, a full-sized backlit LCD and V-Pots for fast tweaking, the Mackie MCU Pro is the only desktop control surface that can truly make your music production experience complete.

Display for Days
A control surface isn't much good if you have to keep looking up at your computer monitor to see the parameters you're tweaking. That's why Mackie equipped the Mackie Control Universal Pro with a generous two-line, 55-character backlit LCD to display parameters like track name, channel metering, I/O assignments, plug-ins, EQ, dynamics or anything our various software partners want you to see. Without dividing your attention between control surface and computer monitor, your mixing speed, efficiency and creative control are all distraction-free. And since it's always a good idea to know where you are in your program material, the Mackie MCU Pro also sports a big, seven-segment LED timecode display bright enough to jam enemy radar.

Channels, Faders and Banks
Every Mackie Control Universal Pro comes equipped with nine 100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders from Alps one for each channel, plus a master fader for that pro console look and feel. With support for an unlimited number of banks, the Mackie MCU Pro can handle as many channels as your music production software can throw at it. Each fader channel also has a genuine Mackie rotary V-Pot, surrounded by an LED collar to indicate the current value, and dedicated buttons for record ready, solo, mute, channel select, and signal present LED. In addition, the master section includes buttons for navigating channels individually or in banks of eight as well as for software specific controls like assigning I/O, sends, EQ, dynamics, and plug-ins to name a few.

Master of Your Application
Mackie knows it doesnt matter to you how many applications the Mackie Control Universal Pro works with what matters is that it works with yours. While the Mackie MCU Pro is compatible with all major music production software, it is also designed to specifically work with your application just access your software parameters in the master section and you can get right down to action. Mackie even supply pre-labeled Lexan overlays for your application so it not only functions like the Mackie MCU Pro was designed for your software alone, it looks that way, too.

Easy Setup
Connect just a single USB cable and you are up and running with the Mackie MCU Pro. And the built-in MIDI interfaces lets you add up to three without the need for external hardware. Or use the MIDI I/O to hook up your classic MIDI gear and work on your ELO covers.
