With Your DAW Only
You can use CTRL49 as a standard USB MIDI controller for your music creation software. We’ve
created presets for several popular DAWs so you can use CTRL49 with your projects in the most
logical and intuitive way possible. You can use CTRL49’s MIDI Mode and the Mackie Control
®
/HUI
®
faders, fader buttons, and transport controls to control your DAW (see the Modes section for
more information).
Tip: To set up Mackie Control

/HUI
®
communication with your DAW, first make sure CTRL49 MIDI
Port 4 (Mackie/HUI) is enabled in your DAW’s Preferences, Options, or Device Setup menu.
Then, use MIDI Edit Mode to set the faders and fader buttons to a preset that corresponds to
your DAW. You can also set the transport control buttons to match the message format that the
Faders are currently set to (Mackie Control
®
or HUI
®
) in Global Mode (see the Modes section for
more information).
With External MIDI Equipment (Without a Computer)
You can connect an external MIDI device (synth, drum machine, etc.) to CTRL49’s MIDI Out,
letting you use CTRL49 to control it, whether or not you’re connected to a computer.

CTRL49’s display shows information
about its current mode and operations.
You can navigate its different modes,
pages, etc. by using the following
controls:
1. Data Dial: Use this dial to change a
selected parameter values, settings,
etc. in the display. Press the dial to

The display contains the essential information you’ll need during performance, recording, or

different modes in VIP (see the following Modes section for more information).
