Does the Mackie protocol assign groups to tracks/channels?

Post by stalker_on » Fri May 15, 2015 11:31 am

Hello,

If anyone has a Mackie device such as the Universal Controller Pro or Icon Qpro or any other device that uses the Mackie auto-assign protocol, could you please tell me how it behaves in Ableton Live, if it automatically assigns group tracks to it's channels or it ignores them and moves on to the next regular simple track in Ableton.

Also, if a closed group track is closed, and not recognized, when opened up and displaying its tracks, does the Mackie pick up those tracks then, and assign them to channels automatically?

Any info would be welcome

Thanks

I use one of the latest Mackie Universal Pro's, firmware v4.0.3. The MCU displays both Group tracks and it's content tracks and they are both assigned to the faders/pots when Group is open. When closed you get only the Group tracks assigned & displayed.
