Great Shortcuts...

I've had these MC Series for some years now and found that the EuControl software is not stable enough. Faders are quite noisy and pan pots are sloppy. But There is something in these babies that just keep me stuck on them. I love the EuCon protocol, it saves a lot of time instead of mouse dragging and keyboard shortcuts. Got them attached to Logic Pro X.
