Alesis Studio Interface MasterControl Manual De Referência

 

 

 
When using the MasterControl with various Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), you will find the control 
surface interacts slightly differently with some of them.  This is normal!  This section lists the kinds of 
control surface behavior that are unique to certain DAWs, using their current versions at the time of this 
writing.

When using a footswitch, assign it to “User A.”  To use the footswitch, you will need to assign a 
function to “User A” under Cubase’s/Nuendo’s “Mackie Control” setup screen. 

y

 

The SCRUB button does not work in Cubase LE4.

If you use the < BANK > or < TRACK > buttons when Rows 2 or 3 are selected, the LEDs next to 
each row may flicker briefly, which is normal. 

y

 

By default, Cubase/Nuendo will record arm the last track touched.  You can disable this behavior 
by going to Preferences and navigating to Preferences> Edit> Project &Mixer.  There, uncheck 
“Enable Record on Selected Track.” 

y

 

Be sure to choose “Mackie Control” as the control surface.  Do not select “Mackie HUI,” as HUI’s 
protocol is incompatible with the MasterControl’s Cubase / Nuendo preset.

While Live is in Arrange mode, SCRUB mode moves the playhead.  While Live is in Session 
Mode, SCRUB scrolls vertically instead. 

y

 

Row 3 (“Input”) is page 4/4 in Live’s I/O menu.  Choose “Auto-Selection” in Live for this page to be 
properly selected.  Pressing the third ROW SELECT button repeatedly on the MasterControl will 
allow you to see the intermediate display states.

To make the MasterControl’s MASTER FADER control more than just the left output, click the 
LINK (lock) icon in the console (mixer) view on SONAR’s master fader. 

y

 

The MasterControl’s REW / FF buttons have different functions while in Loop, Select, Punch, and 
Marker Modes in Sonar. 

y

 

Loop Mode:  REW or FF jumps to the left or right boundary of the loop, respectively. 

y

 

Select Mode: REW or FF jumps to the left or right edge of the selection, respectively. 

y

 

Punch Mode: REW or FF jumps to the Punch In or Punch Out points, respectively. 

y

 

Marker Mode: REW or FF jumps to the left or right marker on the timeline.

If you use the wrong MasterControl preset with a DAW program, the communication between 
your computer and the MasterControl may appear to be behaving correctly in the DISPLAY but 
actually be incorrect.
