Name
The 40 encoders per channel and the switches share the same
name as the fader.
Press the Cancel/Clear key in the Keypad to clear the name.
Use the Cursor buttons to the left of the LCD to move the
cursor. Turn the first encoder to dial in the letters and numbers.
Command
Mute, Solo, Aux and Sel can send Controllers, Notes, or
Program Change. Any control can be turned off, so no
command is sent when pressed.
These switches can also be assigned enable a feature called
Query. When a switch is set to Query, it will not send a
command. When pressed, it puts the whole unit into Query
mode. In Query mode, no commands are sent, but the LCD
will display all the assignment parameters for the last control
activated.
Number
Selects the Controller or Note number.
Channel
Selects MIDI Channel 1 through 16.
Minimum (or Release Velocity)
Minimum controller or note off velocity value.
If the switch is Latch Off (see below), this is the value sent
when the switch is released.
If the switch is Latch On (see below), this is the value sent
every other press, when the LED turns off.

Example of Machine Enable
For example, say that the MIDI Out of the MCS Controller goes
to a modular digital multitrack, a hard disk recorder, and a
computer based workstation.
The modular digital multitrack is set to MMC ID#1.
The hard disk recorder is set to MMC ID#2.
The computer based audio workstation responds to CS-10
Controller commands.
To put all three into Play, make sure that M1, M2, and M5 are
on, prior to pressing Play.
To send MMC Shuttle Commands to the hard disk recorder
only, make sure that M2 is on, (and the other M buttons are off)
prior to using the Shuttle Ring.
To send CS-10 Jog commands into the computer based audio
workstation only, make sure that M5 is on, (and the other M
buttons are off) prior to using the Jog Wheel
