MACKIE CONTROL C4 PRO – DAW control surface with 32 simultaneous parameters

The Mackie Control C4 Pro is a compact and powerful control surface designed to give you immediate, tactile control of your plug-ins and parameters in your DAW. It features 32 rotary “V-Pot” knobs with integrated pushbuttons, each surrounded by an LED ring indicating its exact position. Four 55x2 character backlit LCDs display parameter names and values ​​in real time, allowing simultaneous control of 32 parameters without having to switch banks. Fully compatible with Mackie Control, MCU Universal, and Logic Control protocols, and extensible with other modules in the series, the C4 Pro can operate independently or integrated into setups with MCU Pro and Extender Pro, and is configurable from software to assign any MIDI control or plug-in automap.
