> A Compact, Elegant, and Effective DAW Control Surface!
> The Euphonix MC Mix control surface puts eight motorized faders and  
> an array of programmable buttons and knobs at your command for  
> maximum control over your DAW in a small footprint. Euphonix put  
> some of the coolest features from its impressive full-sized consoles  
> into the MC Mix, including touch-sensitive, responsive faders and  
> multi-function rotary encoders. This well-designed box is ultra- 
> functional, while sporting a decidedly uncluttered appearance. Now  
> you can get the most out of your DAW with the compact, versatile MC  
> Mix!

> Touch-sensitive rotary encoders, selector keys
> The MC Mix's rotary encoders give you direct control over everything  
> from panning and gain to editing your most powerful plug-ins and EQ.  
> These knobs and keys can also be pressed to select/deselect and  
> navigate through parameters. Knob set selector keys allow you to  
> quickly assign the rotary encoders to control plug-ins, EQs,  
> panning, signal routing, and much more. You can either control the  
> same parameter across all tracks or assign all knobs to one track  
> for easy editing of multiple parameters at once.
>
> Eight touch-sensitive motorized faders
> High-quality ALPS 100mm long throw faders offer accurate and smooth  
> mixing; touching a fader will automatically select the corresponding  
> track. Euphonix consoles are renowned for their quality components  
> and smooth operation, and now the MC Mix gives you that "feel" in an  
> affordable, compact unit!
>
> Channel display
> High-resolution 128 x 64 pixel OLED display provides track name/ 
> number, detailed metering (from mono to 5.1 surround data),  
> parameter name/value currently being modified by its corresponding  
> rotary encoder, current automation mode, and more.
>
> EuCon protocol
> The MC Control and MC Mix feature EuCon?, a high-speed control  
> protocol developed by Euphonix that enables simultaneous control of  
> multiple applications and even workstations over an Ethernet cable  
> at 250 times the speed and eight times the resolution of MIDI. EuCon  
> automatically detects whatever application is in the foreground and  
> instantly sets the high-resolution touchscreen and displays,  
> motorized faders and arsenal of controls to match.
