Euphonix Debuts Elegant Artist Series Controllers, MC Control & MC Mix
Euphonix has debuted its MC Control and MC Mix control surfaces for its new Artist Series line of products targeted for the project studio. The MC Control and MC Mix will reportedly integrate into any studio, fitting between a computer keyboard and screen, and up to four units can be connected to create a larger, integrated control surface.
The elegantly-designed MC Mix and MC Control feature EuCon, a control protocol developed by Euphonix that enables simultaneous control of multiple applications and even workstations over an Ethernet cable at 250 times the speed and eight times the resolution of MIDI. EuCon detects whatever application is in the foreground and sets the high-resolution touchscreen and OLED displays, motorized faders and controls to match.
MC Mix Features:
• Touch-sensitive Rotary Encoders (8) and Knob Select/On Keys
• Touch-sensitive Motorized Faders (8)
• Record/Automation Keys
• Select/Assign Keys
• Knob Set Selector Keys
• Function Keys (Shift Keys)
• Footswitch Jack
• Ethernet Port
• Application/Workstation Change
• Solo/Mute/Transport Keys
• Track Navigation
• Channel Display
Euphonix has worked closely with software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU and others to integrate native EuCon support into their DAWs to provide high-resolution, high-speed control over almost all DAW functions for editing and mixing. The MC Control and MC Mix also support the HUI and Mackie Control protocols for even greater flexibility.
MC Control Features:
• Customizable Touch-screen Interface
• Record/Automation Keys
• Select/Assign Keys
• Function Keys (Shift Keys)
• Ethernet Port
• Footswitch Jack
• Transport Controls Jog/Shuttle/Zoom Wheel
• Track Navigation
• Application/Workstation Change
• Monitor/Control Room Level
• Assignable Soft Keys (12)
• Touch-sensitive Rotary Encoders (8)
• Touch-sensitive Motorized Faders (4)
The new Euphonix Artist Series controllers will be shipping in late January 2008 for $1499.99 for the MC Control and $999.99 for the MC Mix. More information on the Euphonix MC Control and MC Mix.
