Chapter 11: DAW Integration
One of the MC’s most exciting abilities is dynamically detecting application and work-
station switching: all controls on the surface switch to match the active application on
the selected workstation. The MC automatically detects not only the application but
also if it is EuCon-aware, HUI, Mackie Control, or a generic application, and sets the
control mode accordingly. The MC’s surface setups can be saved to the MC’s hard
drive as
Usersets, which contain Application Sets for each application .
See page 23 to assign workstations to the Workstation keys.
11.1 User and Application Sets
To view the MC User Sets or Application Sets, touch Euphonix Menu->File . The File
Menu opens, displaying the User and App Sets tabs.
A User Set is a folder that contains any number of Application Sets. Usersets can be
saved and loaded from disk, and may contain variations of the various App Sets.
For example, a user may choose to create different User Sets for specific types of Nu-
endo projects: Recording, Editing, Mixing, Mastering, etc. The relevant controls for
each type of project are available on the MC’s surface.
User Sets can also help if the MC is used by more than one operator by recalling setups
for each.
Upon startup, the MC loads the Root User Set, which is the default User Set containing
App Sets for many of the most widely used applications. You can modify and save the
Root User Set or create a totally new User Set.
An App Set is an .xml file that contains metadata defining Soft Keys assignments for
each application, and also includes text, icon, and Soft Key color. The MC ships with
App Sets for many applications, but new App Sets can be easily created for applications
without one. Switching applications causes the MC to automatically load the focused
application’s App Set (if it exists).
Because of the flexibility of the MC’s Soft Key programming, Application Sets can also
be very useful for sending key commands to generic applications (i.e., Adobe Photo-
shop, Acid, SoundForge).
An Application Set stores all functions specific to an application:
• All banks of 16 Edit Control Left Keys
• All banks of 16 Edit Control Right Keys
• All banks of 24 Soft Keys
