msmcleod Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I've updated my version of the MackieControl for Cakewalk to automatically assign the fader offsets as you add your control surfaces within Cakewalk preferences. So the first device you add will control 1-8, the second device you add, 9-16, and so on. This only affects adding Mackie Control & Mackie Control XT devices (i.e. not the C4). This is useful for control surfaces that do not have v-pots, or do not have a display, making the "Configure Layout" mode difficult to use. You can override the automatic assignment by using the "Configure Layout" button on the dialog, or alternatively removing all the control surfaces within preferences and adding them again in a different order. Latest version is here: http://msmcleod.co.uk/cakewalk/MMcLMackieControlSetup.zip Latest readme: http://msmcleod.co.uk/cakewalk/MackieControl-MMcL.pdf ...and for those of you who want to see the source code: https://github.com/msmcleod/Cakewalk-Control-Surface-SDK As usual, no need to uninstall - just run the installer and it'll update everything. Just make sure Cakewalk isn't running when doing the install. Remember - to use this version you must choose "MMcL MackieControl #1" as your control surface not "Mackie Control", which is Cakewalk's version.

Neel Modi Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 This was really useful for me setting up transport control with my new A61. I did a video explainer here: https://youtu.be/egzLSGwOHAA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Madsen Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The interface will not start when I click it under utilities. And after one try, it goes grey/inactive. Wut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click on MackieControl-MMcL-1.dll and select Properties from the context menu 3. Check the unblock checkbox, click Apply, then click OK. 4. Do the same for MackieControl-MMcL-2.dll and MackieControl-MMcL-3.dll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Madsen Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thanks. That windows behaviour has given me several problems. Knowing them help fixing them. But that was not the case here. I fixed it, but I do not know how. I have two midi controllers; An Icon Qcon pro 2 and a Komplete kontrol A61. When the Icon was disconnected, I could not start interface for KK. I Removed, installed again, connected/started them in different orders, and by today, they both start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simeon Amburgey Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 @msmcleod, thanks so much for this. I am using the Studiologic Mixface and everything seems to be working, except for the following: CREATE NEW MARKER LOOP Selection The MIXFACE has a selection for both Reaper and Studio ONE (they seem to be the same Mackie Control), and the Set Markers and Enable Loop function in each as expected. Just wondering how we could get that integrated into this control surface plugin? Thanks again! Simeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open up the zip file and you should find the installer under Surfaces\MackieControl\Installer. It's worth mentioning though, that unless you need an extra three independent MackieControl instances, there is no benefit from using this as everything that is in my version of the MackieControl is now in the standard MackieControl shipped with CbB. That being said, if you just want the installer, you can download it here: https://msmcleod.co.uk/cakewalk/MMcLMackieControlSetup.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
