The FW-1884 can control most basic functionality
within various applications (including the ones listed
above) via Mackie Control Emulation. As with the
Mackie Control itself, the degree of functionality dif-
fers with each application, and is determined by the
level of implementation provided by each software
manufacturer. Below is a generalized listing of control mapping for
these applications. Please note that due to variations of
the Mackie Control protocol, only those universal
functions noted below are documented here.
To set up the FW-1884 in Mackie Emulation protocol
1 Open the FW-1884 Control Panel
2 Select the
Settings
tab
3 In the drop-down Control Protocol menu,
select MACKIE CONTROL Emulation .
Channel Strips
The eight channel strips and the master fader on the
FW-1884 map directly to the eight channel strips and
master fader on the Mackie Control.
The MUTE and SOLO keys and the faders are identical
in function. In many cases, the FW-1884 uses the REC
key as a modifier; for example, holding the REC key
and pressing a channel SEL ect key on the FW-1884
will emulate pressing a corresponding REC/RDY key
on the Mackie Control. To emulate pressing a Mackie
Control push-key rotary encoder, press and hold the
REC key and press the channel SOLO key on the FW-
1884.
The following table summarizes the channel strip map-
pings. For this and all subsequent tables in this section:
y – means yes, the key or indicator on the Mackie Con-
trol is mapped to the FW-1884.
n – means no, the key or indicator on the Mackie Con-
trol is not mapped to the FW-1884.
n/a – means there is no key or indicator for that func-
tion (for example, a fader move).
