Introduction

Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) control solution.

Mackie Control C4 provides easy editing of DSP and

virtual instrument plug-in parameters. Its flexibility

allows you to make simple or complex edits across

multiple parameters quickly and precisely.

The Mackie Control C4 can be used by itself, but

when used with the Mackie Control and Mackie

Control Extender, you have complete analog-style

control over tracks and plug-ins with your Mackie

Control-supported DAW.

Installation

Connect the Mackie Control C4 to your MIDI

interface via two MIDI cables (IN and OUT).

Connect one end of the external power supply

to the Mackie Control C4, and the other end to

an AC power source between 90 V and 264 V

AC (5060 Hz).

Turn on the Mackie Control C4 POWER switch.

Launch your software program of choice

Select your software's console or surface

manager set up window.

Select the Mackie Control MIDI Mapping. If it

is not included in the version of software you

are using, go to the software company's

website or to www.mackie.com/mackiecontrol

and download the MIDI map for your

particular application.

Once the appropriate MIDI map is selected

within your software's preferences, the unit(s)

will be recognized automatically.

To connect one or more Mackie Control, Mackie

Control Extenders, and Mackie Control C4s:

1. Connect the MIDI OUT jack on your computer's

MIDI interface to the MIDI IN jack of the

Mackie Control, Mackie Control Extender, or

Mackie Control C4.

2. Connect the MIDI IN jack on your computer's

MIDI interface to the MIDI OUT jack of the

Mackie Control, Mackie Control Extender, or

Mackie Control C4.

3. You need to have separate MIDI IN and OUT

jacks on the MIDI interface for each Mackie

Control, Mackie Control Extender, and Mackie

Control C4 (see illustration below).

Operation

Please refer to your particular DAW's

documentation for specific instructions on

establishing communication with Mackie

Control C4, and for operating instructions

when using Mackie Control C4 with the DAW.

Service

If you think your Mackie Control C4 has a problem,

please do everything you can to confirm it before

calling for service. If the problem is related to setting

up and using Mackie Control C4 with your DAW

software, contact your software manufacturer's

technical support.

If you are absolutely, positively sure it is a

hardware related problem, then go to the repair

section next for further instructions.

Repair

Service for Mackie Control C4 units purchased in

the USA is available only from one of our authorized

domestic service stations. It is also available at the

factory, located in sunny Woodinville, Washington.

(Service for Mackie products living outside the

United States can be obtained through local dealers

or distributors.) If your Mackie Control C4 needs

service, and it lives in the United States, follow these

instructions:

1. Call Tech Support at 1-800-258-6883, 8 am to

5 pm PST, to explain the problem and request

an RA (Return Authorization) number. Have

your Mackie Control C4 serial number ready.

You must have an RA number before you can

obtain service at the factory or an authorized

service center.

2. Keep this quick-start guide. We don't need it

to repair the controller.

3. Pack the controller in its original package,

including endcaps and box. This is very

important.

When you call for the RA number,

please let Tech Support know if you need new

packaging. Mackie is not responsible for any

damage that occurs due to non-factory

packaging.

4. Include a legible note stating your name,

shipping address (no P.O. boxes), daytime

phone number, RA number, and a detailed

description of the problem, including how we

can duplicate it.

5. Write the RA number in BIG PRINT on top of

the box.

6. Ship the controller to us. We suggest insurance

for all forms of cartage. Ship to this address:

7. We'll try to fix the controller within five

business days. Ask Tech Support for current

turn-around times when you call for your RA

number. We normally send everything back

prepaid using UPS ORANGE (three-day air).

RED (Next Day Air). This paragraph does not

necessarily apply to non-warranty service.
