Fader Output
Moving a fader sends a range of MIDI commands. Typically,
this will be a controller or a note, with the controller or note
number specified by the user.
(If the MCS is still in its initialized state, refer to the Initialized
Settings section of the Technical Information chapter, page xx,
for a detailed listing of commands and channels.)
Faders can be grouped to another fader. And any fader can be
made a Grand Master for all the faders in all four Banks.
Fader Input
The fader motors move when the unit receives a MIDI
command that is equivalent to the fader’s current assignment.
In other words, move a fader, and record the data that is
output as a result of the fader movement. Play back that same
data into the MCS, and the fader will automatically move to
repeat the move you recorded.
For example, from the factory, Fader 1 in Bank 1 sends MIDI
Controller #0 on MIDI Channel 14.
When your host system software sends MIDI Controller #0 on
MIDI Channel 14 into the MCS Controller, the fader will move.
The position of the fader will be equal to the Controller value,
which typically ranges from 0 to 127.
The faders will also “remember” their position for each Bank.
Pressing the Bank button will cause the faders to move to their
last position within the Bank.

To Assign an F or M Button
Since the F and the M buttons are Shift-able, first check the
state of the Shift button, before entering Assign mode.
That is, if you want to assign F1 only, make sure Shift is off.
If you want to assign the command to be sent when Shift F1 is
pressed, make sure Shift is on.
Press Assign to enter Assign mode. The yellow LED is lit.
After entering Assign mode, pressing an F or M Button will
select that control for editing.
At that point, the display “holds” the currently selected control.
If you change your mind and wish to edit a different control
instead, press Assign to exit assign mode. Press Assign again to
re-enter Assign mode and select a different control.
Use the LCD and rotary encoder knobs to edit the control.
Turn the right-most encoder knob to reveal additional editable
parameters.
After making the edit, press Enter on the Keypad to store the
changes to memory.
