The Mackie Control surface is emulated by a variety of devices. The control surface is divided into areas for convenience. The positional data is (more or less) starting in the upper left hand corner of an area.
- CW
- ClockWise rotation of a rotary encoder (VPot or Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it "up"
- CCW
- Counter ClockWise rotation of a rotary encoder (VPot or Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it "down."
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CW, a message equal to the number of clicks is sent.
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CCW, a "65" is sent followed by a message equal to the number of clicks is sent. Think of 65 as "sign indicator."
The Zero label at middle of fader travel = zero in Pitch Wheel Position data.
The Red Area has different labels (lexan overlays) depending on the DAW to which the Mackie Control is attached. See the note at the Red DAW-specific switches table.
