Emulation Tab
The MCS5 software has the ability to emulate other MIDI based control surfaces. This feature is useful if
you are using the MCS5 with an application which doesn’t directly support the MCS5, but which supports
one of these other controls surfaces.
You can set any control on the MCS5 to emulate a control on one of these control surfaces using the
Emulation Tab. The Emulation Tab is not available until you turn on Emulation in the
Emulation
Menu.
Here you can choose
None
,
Mode A
, or
Mode B
.
Mode A
and
B
represent the two control surfaces that
the MCS5 can emulate. Which one you choose depends on the application you are using with the MCS5.
More on this later.
The contents of the
Emulation Tab
varies depending on whether a button or the
Jog Wheel
is selected.
This is what you will see at first if you select a button.
The
Control Group
popup lists the basic categories of controls that can be emulated by the selected
MCS5 control. Checking
Emulate this control:
or choosing from the
Control Group
popup will assign an
Emulation action to the selected control. It will also display either a second popup or a numerical editor for
choosing which control in the group to emulate.
