Model: 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.
