Mini Control 2

The Mini Control 2 (“MC2”) is a versatile compact MIDI controller designed to work with Sound Devices 8-Series mixer/recorders. It provides convenient control of channels not easily accessible on the host device’s front panel.

The MC2 operates through a three-way toggle switch and rotary encoder selections, which provide real-time visual feedback through LED colour changes, flashes and pulses in five main colours: red, green, blue, white and yellow.

Features

The MC2 allows the user to control gain and fader level of a Sound Devices 8-Series mixer/recorder. Its functionality is organised over a number of Modes and Configurations.

• Channels 7-8 can be controlled in 833 Configuration.
• Channels 7-12 can be controlled in 833+4 Configuration.
• Channels 9-16 can be controlled in 888 Configuration.
• Channels 13-20 can be controlled in Scorpio Configuration.

In addition to the above, MC2 also offers a number of additional controls and optional Configurations:

• Channel “select”.
• Channel PFL.
• Mappable MIDI control-change messages.
• Rolling channels on/off.
• Additional channels on/off.
• Strict Controller Configuration on/off.
• Free Configuration on/off.
• Level metering on/off.

Additional controller compatibility

 MC2 works without issue alongside MCU controllers, the Sound Devices CL-12 and additional MC2 units, provided the 8-Series is always set to “Individual" under Main Menu > Controllers > Third Party Controllers > Multiple Controllers.

Multiple MC2 units can be connected to an 8-series mixer/recorder through a USB hub and set to control different channels / parameters simultaneously.
