C4 Commander
MIDI hardware & software control
Mackie C4 Commander software brings the world of
our ultra-hip C4 Pro rotary control surfaces to your new or vintage MIDI
hardware—opening up control possibilities once buried in layers of hard to
navigate menus. Finally, keyboardists can adjust all the parameters of their
favorite synths and sound modules, guitarists can tweak their guitar processors,
and audio engineers can unleash the power of their rackmount reverbs, delays and
MIDI modules, without ever leaving the mixing and creating monitoring "sweet
spot."
Using an intuitive drag-and-drop visual interface, Mackie C4 Commander allows
users to map parameters of popular MIDI hardware devices to the V-pots and
scribble strips of the C4 Pro, for remote hands-on control and comprehensive
visual feedback. An expansive array of instrument profiles is included, and
custom layouts are easily constructed. You can even map parameters of different
devices to a single C4 page for an incredibly wicked live performance
controller. The level of hardcore "tweakability" is limited merely by having
only 10 fingers and 24 hours in a day.

SWEET, GLORIOUS FREEDOM
Imagine being able to adjust complex parameters on your
MIDI capable digital reverb (which sits in a rack on the
other side of the room), without ever leaving the
comfort of your chair. You'd need really long arms!
That's what C4 Commander gives you, in essence—really
long arms. Never having to leave your chair means never
having to leave the "sweet spot." You'll be able to hear
how changes affect your work immediately, without the
hassle of running back and forth across the room.
NAVIGATION IS A BREEZE
Some externally controllable devices (instruments and
effects) can be managed with less than 32 controls,
which we refer to as "V-Pots." In this case you can
access all parameters on a single C4 page. For those
devices with a wider range of options, you simply add
more pages. When you need to adjust a V-Pot on page
three, just "turn the page" using the Page L or Page R
buttons until you find the parameter you're looking for.
You can even use the Split function to access multiple
instruments on the same page, mapping only routinely
adjusted parameters for each device to a single C4 page.
STORE YOUR OWN PROFILES
C4 Commander deals with two types of files: Instrument
Definition Files and Layouts. Instrument Definition
Files contain the parameters that allow C4 Commander to
communicate with a particular instrument. Layout files
allow you to place controls in a specific order and to
re-label control text. After you've tweaked your heart
out and built the "perfect" sound, hit the "Save" or
"Save As" buttons and you are done—it's just that
simple. Now you're well on the way to building a custom
C4 Commander library—and the files are small enough to
share with your friends via email.
