Puts the "pro" in your project studio.
The Euphonix MC Control brings unparalleled speed, resolution, and DAW integration to your studio in a revolutionary ergonomic, slim-line design. The MC Control easily fits into any studio, sitting perfectly between a computer keyboard and screen. Multiple units can be connected to create a larger, integrated control surface. The Euphonix MC Control is the perfect mix of form and function, and works with Mac only.
The MC Control lets you effortlessly switch between multiple applications and even workstations at the touch of a button. The touch-sensitive knobs, motorized faders, and high-resolution touch-screen display automatically set themselves to whatever application is in the foreground to provide immediate access to multiformat metering, plug-in parameters, EQ curves and much more.
Most importantly, Euphonix has worked closely with the world's leading software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU, Apogee, and others to deeply integrate native support for Euphonix' EuCon control protocol into their DAWs to deliver an unmatched editing and mixing experience.

Customizable touch-screen interface
The high-resolution 800 x 480 pixel touch-screen interface not only displays all of your project's top-level information like track names/numbers, metering (from mono to 5.1 surround data), fader/pan values, automation mode, etc., but also lets you quickly access all plug-in and EQ parameters, effortlessly setup macro commands for any function (or sequence of functions), and much more.
Record/Automation Keys
Enable direct arming of tracks for recording and/or selection of each track's automation mode.
Select/Assign Keys
Lock the selected track to a dedicated fader while allowing you to bank through tracks with the remaining faders—perfect for master fader and submix applications.
Function Keys (Shift Keys)
Used in conjunction with other keys on the MC Control to provide alternate functions.
Footswitch Jack
Punch in and out of recording when footswitch is connected.
Ethernet Port
Connects the MC Control to your Mac. Ethernet hub or switch required to connect additional MC Mix unit(s) or connect to a network.
Transport Controls: Jog/Shuttle/Zoom Wheel
Ergonomic layout puts transport controls and data entry wheel at your fingertips, as well as keys to quickly select what parameter the wheel will modify (zoom horizontally/vertically, jog/shuttle, trimming clip head and tail, setting clip gain, cross fading, etc.).
Assignable Soft Keys
Use these Soft Keys to trigger everything from simple keystroke commands to complex custom macros displayed on the touch-screen interface above. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through an unlimited number of commands.
