Take Command of Your DAW with This Compact Controller!

The Euphonix MC Control control surface combines the functionality of motorized faders, programmable knobs and buttons, and an incredible customizable touchscreen interface for maximum control over your DAW. Designed as a compact "nerve center" for your studio, the MC Control fits between your keyboard and computer monitor. Its high-resolution touchscreen lets you easily access and set up functions, while four touch-sensitive motorized faders, 12 Smart Keys, and eight programmable rotary encoders make the MC Control a powerful, flexible DAW controller!

Euphonix MC Control Control Surface with Programmable Touchscreen at a Glance:
  • Customizable touch-screen interface
  • Assignable Smart Keys, rotary encoders, and motorized faders
  • Monitor/control room level, Application/Workstation Change functions
  • Transport controls and jog/shuttle/zoom wheel

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.

Assignable Smart Keys, rotary encoders, and motorized faders
Use these Smart 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. Touch-sensitive rotary encoders offer direct control over everything from panning and gain to editing your most powerful plug-ins and EQ. These knobs can also be pressed to select/deselect and navigate through parameters. High-quality ALPS 100mm long throw faders offer accurate and smooth mixing; touching a fader will automatically select the corresponding track.

Monitor/control room level, Application/Workstation Change functions

Application Change and Workstation Change functions let you easily cycle through applications and switch between multiple workstations.

All I Can Say Is WOW!

by Jerry Wilkins from Honolulu, Hawaii
June 9, 2009
Music Background: recording engineer, DJ/producer
I can't say enough about this product. I have been mixing in Logic Pro for a few years & I've strictly been using the mouse. I decided to get a controller & decided on a PreSonus FaderPort. It was suf... read more [+]ficient & worked as advertised, but quickly I realized that I could use more features/faders to make my workflow better.

I soon purchased an MC Control just for the faders & a few more control knobs, but quickly found out that this piece of equipment is MUCH MORE than I could ever hope for. It not only works FLAWLESSLY with Logic 8, but it can be used to control many other programs that I use. I absolutely love that I can control my other programs & hardly touch the mouse. The potential of this thing seems endless to me. If i had one complaint, it would be that I wish I could buy it for a cheaper price..... :-) Oh well, you get what you pay for, I guess. I'm definitely gonna get a MC Mix for more faders...... close [-]

Great but Green

Let me begin by saying that this is a great piece of gear. Not only do we have the MC Control but we also have two MC Mix's attached. The flying faders are great and smooth. The integration with lo... read more [+]gic is very well done. Here is the problem. They released it two early, the software is not very stable with the older PCC chips however it works much better with the Intel chips. The other thing is that the touch screen is not the greatest. If you have ever used an iPhone then you know how well touch screens work however this seems more like a 3 year old GPS system that doesn't really work. The touch screen is very unstable. I would definitely recommend one but with the one stipulation of go try one first. Play with it and make sure its worth the 1500 before you buy one. However as soon as version 2 comes out snatch that up so fast. close [-]

Rock Solid and very flexible controller

by Mark J Seagraves from Dallas TX

Music Background: Music-Audio Post-SFX
I've been using the MC Artist with an MC Mix for a few months now and I am really happy. I use it with two workstations and its ability to switch between applications instantly was the main reason I c... read more [+]hose it over other controllers. Euphonix makes great gear right at the leading edge of technology and these controllers are really in a league of their own. In my work day I jump between all the apps in Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio and the MC controllers never miss a beat. Amazing. close [-]

The perfect controller (almost)

by Nigel Broad from Los Angeles
September 10, 2008
Music Background: Recording Artist/Producer/Engineer
First of all, this is an amazing piece of gear, well thought out and well designed. The integration with Logic is amazing right out of the box. I have been through many DAW controllers over the years,... read more [+] all of them suffering from one fatal flaw: they all needed to be 'configured'. I don't know about you, but I prefer to get on with making music, I have no time to spend custom-configuring controllers, especially with something as complex as Logic where there are hundreds of options.
So why did I only give this 4 stars?? Unfortunately, the MC Control has some quality issues. The shuttle/jog wheel tends to get stuck (I've heard this reported elsewhere too), and the buttons, although cool, need to be hit pretty hard. Some of the LED's flicker mysteriously, and the touch screen also suffers from a little flicker. You'd expect the silver parts of the surface to be brushed aluminum or other similar metal, but unfortunately, it's just painted plastic. I wonder how long it will be before that silver paint rubs off under constant use from sweaty palms??
It's not exactly a budget piece of gear, either, but, oh well, I've come to expect this on products labelled 'made in China' !!
Quality issues aside, this is still the best DAW controller, along with the MC Mix, out there right now.
BTW, the included plastic support legs, which are supposed to raise the controller to a more useful angle, make the whole thing unstable. I've found using a standard laptop stand (like the Roadtools PodiumPad for MacBooks) works great! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
