Mackie C4 Commander User Guide - Page 13

C4 Commander Single Single Dot mode lights one LED at a time around the V-Pot to indicate the relative position of the V-Pot control. Boost/Cut mode lights a single LED at the Boost/Cut 12 o'clock position, and lights LEDs to the left or the right of the center position as the V-Pot is rotated. This is typically used for an EQ boost/cut control. Wrap Wrap mode lights the LEDs continuously around the V-Pot as it is rotated to the right. Spread mode lights a single LED at the 12 Spread o'clock position, and lights LEDs to the left and right of the center position as the V-Pot is rotated. On/Off On/Off mode simply toggles between fully lit and fully off. This is typically used for on/off functions. Click the Pickets checkbox to add a vertical dashed line on the right side of the scribble strip for the selected control. When you have completed making your edits to the layout, click the Run button in the upper right corner of the C4 graphic interface. The Save Layout popup window asks you if you want to save your changes. Click Yes to save the changes to the layout and close the Edit window. V-Pots Now you are in Run mode, and the C4 V-Pots and buttons should now control your MIDI device. Try it out and see how the device responds when you make adjustments on the C4. Note: The C4 controls are inactive while you are in Edit mode. If the controls on the C4 are not doing anything, make sure the C4 Commander is in Run mode. C4 Commander Graphic Interface The C4 Commander graphic interface is the main window that opens when you first launch the C4 Commander software. It displays a replica of the front panel of the C4, with its four banks of V-Pots and associated scribble strip displays, and a number of push buttons at the bottom of the window. Some of the button labels at the bottom of the C4 Commander graphic interface differ from those on the actual C4. A C4 Commander overlay should be available soon that you can place over the C4 buttons so they match the C4 Commander graphic interface. Check our website for availability and ordering information (www.mackie. com). V-Pots Each V-Pot can control any parameter in the MIDI instrument. The V-Pots serve double-duty as rotary encoders and push-button switches, depending on the parameter assigned to it.
