All user reviews for the Yamaha MCS2

Wonderful little box originally designed to provide knobs, sliders and pedal inputs to electric pianos to give them control of synthesizer sounds.

It has therefore:
<ul>

1 modulation wheel;

1 pitch wheel with automatic return to center position;

2 assignable sliders;

3 assignable buttons;

8 buttons for program change;

2 inputs for footswitch (sustain type) assignable;

2 pedal inputs progressive (type expression) assignable;

Breath Controller Input 1 Assignable;

2 MIDI IN mergées with messages transmitted by the device;

1 MIDI OUT

</ul>

Virtually any MIDI message can be assigned to different elements, including Start, Stop, Continue, and even tempo. Some limitations, however: we must define a global midi channel, not sending SysEx or RPN / NRPN, no tap tempo, a single program memory ... But it dates from the mid-80s, it's excusable, but prevents me from giving the note to the Swiss Army knife Max du Midi, paired with a Yamaha MEP4 ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/controleur-midi-divers/yamaha/MEP-4/ ) !

I just realized, typing this review, it could make a pretty cool control surface for Cubase ... For cons, the object is very rare, I had to put 3 or 4 years to find mine, and of course it is NOT for sale! :-P
