CONTROL SURFACES
As of the initial release of Mixcraft 7, natively supported Control Surfaces include the
Novation Launchpad, Mackie Control (aka MCU, and previously, Logic Control) and
compatibles, Frontier Design Group TranzPort, and Acoustica’s own Mixcraft Remote
app for Android and iOS mobile devices.

Note: For more information on configuring Control Surfaces, see the Using Natively
Supported Control Surfaces
, pg. 301.

TYPE

For Mixcraft to recognize any of these devices, plug in the device (or in the case of
Mixcraft Remote, makes sure your computer and mobile device are on the same
wireless network), click <Add New> and select the appropriate device. If you’re using
an older Emagic Logic Control, be sure to choose it (instead of Mackie Control) in the
Type list, otherwise all functions won’t work correctly.

INPUT

Specifies the input for the Control Surface. If it’s a MIDI device, choose the appropriate
MIDI interface. If it’s plugged into a USB port, choose the name of the Control Surface.

OUTPUT

This is specifies the MIDI or USB output for the device and is set just like the input
setting. If it’s a MIDI device, choose the appropriate MIDI interface. If it’s plugged into a
USB port, choose the name of the Control Surface.

Note: The Mixcraft Remote mobile app does not require any Input or Output settings.

LINK

Linking two or more control surfaces (e.g. Mackie control surfaces), will cause them to
act as one large single control surface.
