Connecting the MCS
The MCS2 has a built in captive cable with one MIDI jack.
MIDI comes out of the jack labeled “TO MIDI IN”.
Plug in a MIDI cable here. Connect the other end of this MIDI
cable to the MIDI In of the computer or machine that you want
to control.
The other cable provides the MCS2 with power.
Plug it into the supplied external power supply.
The power supply is rated at 9 volts, DC, at 500 mA.
The center conductor is positive. Use of the wrong supply will
damage the MCS2.

MIDI Commands Sent
2
by the MCS
The MCS2 sends MIDI Machine Control commands, and also
simultaneously sends MIDI Controller commands.
MIDI Machine Control is recognized as the machine control
standard for most modular digital multi track recorders, and
hard disk recorders.
The MIDI Controller commands sent are the same as those
sent by the JLCooper CS-102 and CS-2 Control Stations.
These controller commands have become the industry
standard command set for controlling many different brands of
computer-based digital audio workstations.
In addition to the standard MMC and Controller commands, the
MCS2 also sends MIDI System Exclusive commands. These
are non-standard commands unique to the JLCooper MCS2.
They are recognized by specific platforms that have been
developed to support the MCS2.
