8. How to use MC mode in
your DAW
8.1 General Information:
Your MOTÖR Keyboard’s MC mode supports concurrent use as a MIDI performance
keyboard and remote controlling any MC-compatible (Mackie Control)
DAW (digital audio workstation). MOTÖR achieves this by oering two separate
USB MIDI devices to the computer’s OS. The following guide explains how this
combined MC mode is typically used.
Please note that some of the button labels, printed for standard MIDI keyboard
use, deviate from their function when used in MC mode.
It is important to understand 4 steps for using the MC mode:
1. First switch the Operation Mode on your MOTÖR to “MC” (with USB
connected to your PC)
2. Your DAW will show two separate MIDI devices (ports) related to MOTÖR
(depends on your DAW)
3. The MC communication will always use the 2nd port, i.e. “MIDI In 2
(Motör Keyboard)” and “MIDI Out 2 (Motör Keyboard)”
4. When using the MOTÖR in MC mode, it is not recommended to toggle
between MIDI and MC mode when you switch from song-mixing to
instrument-playing and vice versa. Please keep MC mode active, which will
transmit (keyboard) performance and MC commands concurrently.
