Amazon.com
Without Mackie Control Universal Pro, your music production software just isnt complete. MCU Pro rounds out your softwares functionality to deliver the ultimate in hands-on command. In fact, your software was designed with MCU Pro in mind. Developers access the MCU Pro via its unique communication protocol pioneered by Mackie and determine precisely how MCU Pro works for you. That means MCU Pro integrates with your software like no other hardware controller. Say goodbye to sub-par responsiveness to your mix adjustments, trying to remember which knobs are assigned to which parameter, and the tedious process of MIDI mapping. With MCU Pro, you get deep, intuitive control of mix and plug-in parameters, real-time visual feedback and set up is plug and play without any MIDI mapping whatsoever!
And MCU Pro goes far beyond simple faders and transport controls it gives you the most comprehensive feature set on the market. With nine 100mm Penny + Giles optical touch-sensitive faders, a full-sized backlit LCD and V-Pots for fast tweaking, MCU Pro is the only desktop control surface that can truly make your music production experience complete.
With optional expandability via Mackie Control Extender Pro ender Pro and Mackie Control C4 Pro, MCU Pro is also the only software control surface that can grow with your studio.
DISPLAY FOR DAYS
A control surface isn't much good if you have to keep looking up at your computer monitor to see the parameters you're tweaking. That's why we equipped the Mackie Control Universal Pro with a generous two-line, 55-character backlit LCD to display parameters like track name, channel metering, I/O assignments, plug-ins, EQ, dynamics or anything our various software partners want you to see. Without dividing your attention between control surface and computer monitor, your mixing speed, efficiency and creative control are all distraction-free. And since it's always a good idea to know where you are in your program material, MCU Pro also sports a big, seven-segment LED timecode display bright enough to jam enemy radar.
CHANNELS, FADERS AND BANKS
Every Mackie Control Universal Pro comes equipped with nine 100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders from Penny + Giles one for each channel, plus a master fader for that pro console look and feel. With support for an unlimited number of banks, MCU Pro can handle as many channels as your music production software can throw at it.
Each fader channel also has a genuine Mackie rotary V-Pot, surrounded by an LED collar to indicate the current value, and dedicated buttons for record ready, solo, mute, channel select, and signal present LED. In addition, the master section includes buttons for navigating channels individually or in banks of eight as well as for software specific controls like assigning I/O, sends, EQ, dynamics, and plug-ins to name a few.
MASTER OF YOUR APPLICATION
We know it doesnt matter to you how many applications the Mackie Control Universal Pro works with what matters is that it works with yours. While MCU Pro is compatible with all major music production software, it is also designed to specifically work with your application just access your softwares parameters in the master section and you can get right down to action. We even supply pre-labeled Lexan overlays for your application so it not only functions like the MCU Pro was designed for your software alone, it looks that way, too.
MORE OF A GOOD THING: MACKIE CONTROL EXTENDER PRO
The Mackie Control Extender Pro is an eight-channel control surface extender Pro ension for MCU Pro. Slightly narrower than a MCU Pro, the Extender Pro ender Pro has all the channel strip features of the MCU Pro without the master section. Depending on your music production software support, multiple EExtender Pro ender Pro units can be used together with a MCU Pro to emulate a large-scale control surface with as many faders and pots as desired.

価格の大幅改定で当初の価格の半額ほどまで値下がりしました。当方cubase pro 9 で使用しています。ドライバーは必要なく、USB接続であとは勝手に機械がやってくれます。オーバーレイシートが付属されているのでProtool、Logic、Cubaseなどの主要ホストは面倒な設定がないので非常に楽です。ただ、自分の環境のせいなのか、fader bankが機能していません。それを除いてもタッチセンシティブ式モーターフェーダにpan、EQ、dynamics、sends、insertなどを割り当てて操作できるVpot、ズーム機能もついています。これらのおかげでマウス操作がかなり減りました。高価ですが、最高のフィジカルコントローラーです。拡張の機材としてVpotが30個以上搭載されたC４ proというものがありましたがこちらは2009年に生産が完了しているのらしいので、中古を探すしかなさそうです。個人的にはC4 proが欲しかったのですが残念です。

In the description, when seeking to buy, said there was 5 - 10% cosmetic damage. So I was expecting to have a few blemishes. After I received it and opened the box, I could not find any cosmetic ware. The MCU looked brand spanking new to me. …Either, I enjoy scratch and dents or there needs to be some updated general descriptors. …I enjoyed this purchase. I could have spent the $1000+ and bought the MCU as a brand new item, but I'm glad I went this route saving a few hundred dollars on a used item, that does not looked used at all. …Now, if they had this deal for iMacs. Hmm?

The picture of the item for sale and the item I received was totally different! They sent me the older model so i was very unsatisfied considering I had to wait almost two weeks to receive something I didn't want.

When I received item, 2 faders is not working, Other faders are out of calibration, Amazon never checks the state of theequipment with a pro audio expert, Used item on Amazon selling here is expensive and costly for un-reviewed items or state of the equipment. Loud technologies and Mackie has got no support for spare parts and no proper advise or technical support!. Buyer will be charged of so much of the shipping cost since they need to resend back the equipment to Amazon for a refund or change! It is really a waste of money and time! So disappointing!Since shipping is even expensive, we seek repair on to the unit locally but some cases, repair locally can also add issue some moreon the items needs to be repaired and more to that order of parts are extremely a long wait and costly and worse no stock!Amazon must have access on the replacement parts, just in case. Most especially the P&G Optical faders and the LCD assy. A prone problem on this unit!Please improve!Recommendation: Buying used units or items /devices more safely, eBay is better!!. Buying new items, units, devices both Amazon and eBay is okey!

This product is great. I use it with Adobe Audition and Sonar. It is easy to use and the device looks "no-plastic/cheap"It looks professional and clearly well designed and build.Suggestion: include the "template"" for Audition to place it on the keys. Sonar one is included in the box.

This system was bought for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. He is a professional musician who is working on producing and recording from home. I thought this would be a great way to get him started.
