Difference between MC Control v1 and v2
I'm just curious. I have been searching for an hour and can't find a straight answer. Does anyone knows the difference between MC Control v1 or v2? is it just a software update?

For one, the LCD screen is of higher quality.

Here's a video explaining the differences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tdDRdtkCic
Basically better screen resolution, more accuracy on the knobs, different jog wheel and some color 'enhancements'. That's it.

Re: Difference between MC Control v1 and v2
I would like to know if there are any plans to update the MC mix's knobs to the higher quality, less friction mc control v2 knobs. It's a bit irritating to not be able to turn the knobs slow/smoothly when even the most cheap pro-audio gear has good knobs...

Re: Difference between MC Control v1 and v2
How big is the difference? Anyone who has used then both. I can get a v1 for 600 and put the rest of the Money toward a mix. Also, other than silver and black cases, we're their more than one version of the mix. A better way to put that, are all the silver MC mixes the same or is there a V1 and a V2 like with the Control

MC-Mix - There was a change of the knobs and also the LED's had a change in color, but they never called them v. 1 or v. 2, but when you bought silver-units earlier and later, you noticed the difference running them in the same rack - there is no other way to see this. There are old posts a few years back regarding this. p.s. Don't forget that if you already own an Ipad and run the App Air Display, you get an even more useful screen then the MC Control v. 2, so there are pros and cons whichever way you turn...

Re: Difference between MC Control v1 and v2
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. I'm not sure what you mean by getting more if I get the air display app. I have an app called splash top HD that lets me see and run my computer from my iPad and looks very much like Air Display and I'm sure the iPad is a better touch screen than the MC Control but I wanted the control to have faders and knobs I can touch and macros to perform edit functions. I just wanted to make sure if I got what looked like a pretty good deal on the earlier ones there wasn't a major difference in quality and functionality that would make me wish I spent a few hundred more on later versions. It came down to if I got a version 2, that's all I could afford but if I got a version 1 I'd have enough left over to get a mix. I guess unless you see them side by side or have used them both it's hard to know how big a difference there is. Where I am there is no place to try things out so I depend on you guys for your experience. Thanks |
