3. The Editor
Instead of using precious resources for editing on the hardware, which is a PITA to use, we thought it
would be better to give you an excellent, easy to use Editor and extra features.
The MC-5jr/5/10 has 10/20 software buttons, divided over 2 pages. Each button has up to 4
commands. As there are only 5/10 physical buttons, there has to be a way to select the other 5/10
buttons. You can do this by either creating a Page button, which toggles between buttons 1-5/1-10
and 6-10/11-20, or by using press-and-hold to toggle each button separately. A combination of both
is also a possibility.
3.1 Overview
The MC-5jr/5/10 has the same layout as the hardware, making programming a breeze.

3.2 Switching between MC-5jr, MC-5 and MC-10
You can switch between MC versions in the top right corner. The chosen version is saved on datafiles you create. Data-files are compatible and exchangeable between MC-5jr, MC-5 and MC-10.
3.3 Tab-pages
In the top left corner you can find the tabs Page 1, Page 2, Global and Presets.
Page 1 gives you an overview of buttons 1-5/1-10, Page 2 of buttons 6-10/11-20.
Global tab is for editing Global Settings, see section 4.
Presets tab is discussed in section 5. (not available on the MC-5jr)
3.4 The Button
On other Midi Controllers, a button has 6 parameters for each command. (Channel On, Command
On, Value On, Channel Off, Command Off, Value Off). We reduced this to 2 parameters: Channel and
Command, making programming easier.
