Support for Mackie Control C4 Coming to SONAR 4Oct 28, 2004 Cakewalk today announces that its SONAR 4 Producer Edition and Studio Edition will support the new Mackie Control C4 plug-in and instrument controller. The Mackie Control C4 which is designed for the needs of today's workstation-based musicians and producers, provides four banks of eight V-Pots each, and four full-size displays that provide instant access to as many as 32 software parameters. The Mackie Control C4 eliminates the need to constantly "bank switch" a standard control surface display in order to access parameter-rich software modules such as soft synths. It features multiple displays and corresponding knobs for simultaneous access of up to 32 parameters of a given software module. Function buttons beneath the displays and knobs allow users to select the arrangement of those parameters and how they show up on screen. The Mackie Control C4 also acts as a "quick fix" tool for fader and pan settings across 32 channels, and can be used independently or in concert with Mackie Control Universal. Availability Cakewalk plans to have the Mackie Control C4 plug-in module available on the Cakewalk and Mackie web sites for download within 90 days. Registered SONAR 4.0 owners will be able to download it off the web site at no charge. For more information, visit their web site at www.cakewalk.com. |
