Mackie Control

Mackie Control is a versatile remote control system for audio and show control tasks. It is connected to a MIDI port (e.g. sound card or external MIDI interface) and requires a MIDI port in Wings Vioso RX which is configured as follows:

Click category Devices in the Media Pool.
Right-click some free space on the tab and select Add port Controller Mackie Control.
Under MIDI input and MIDI output select the MIDI ports you want to use for Mackie Control.
Additionally, you can also adjust the following parameters:
Fader banks ...to enter the number of slider controls you want to use. With every bank you add 8 (virtual) slider controls which can be assigned to the hardware slider controls via keys FADER BANKS on the Mackie Control.
Enable control of Platinum functions ... ensures that playback and record functions as well as a number of other functions can be controlled via the keys on the right side of the Mackie Control. If you are using two Mackie Controls, for instance, you can disable this function for the second one.
Enable key click for transport keys ... to ensure that the transport keys (PLAY, RECORD, STOP, etc.) click when pressed to give you a "tape recorder feeling".
Decimal point in time display ...to structure the time display by inserting points between minutes and seconds and the places following the decimal point.

Click on OK to close the dialog.

When you have done all the settings you can use the Mackie Control as described under Mackie Control functions. This requires the device control system to be enabled.
You can also use Mackie Control for controlling any devices and for recording control data. See Control via external input devices.
If you MIDI port cannot be selected in dialog Configuration Mackie Control, the driver may treat inputs and outputs as separate units (e.g. EMAGIC). In this case, the driver dialog may allow you to combine inputs and outputs. Following this the MIDI port will be selectable for Wings Vioso RX, too.
