Mackie Control Universal Pro User Manual
The Nucleus, from Solid State Logic, is a 16 fader Mackie Control device that includes many buttons, separate meters, two LCD displays and other features. The device is not cheap (around US$5000 at the time of writing), and has some design features (or lack thereof) which some Ardour developers find questionable. Nevertheless, it is a very flexible device, and makes a nice 16 fader surface without the need to somehow attach an extender to your main surface.

Pre-configuring the Nucleus
Your Nucleus comes complete with a number of 'profiles' for a few well-known DAWs. At the time of writing it does not include one for Ardour (or related products such as Harrison Mixbus).

Unlike most Mackie Control devices, the Nucleus uses an ethernet connection to send and receive the MIDI messages that make up the Mackie Control protocol. You, the user, tells the DAW which ports to connect to, and ipMIDI takes care of the rest. Contrast with the Mackie Control Universal Pro, where meters interfere with the display DAW.

Select the Mackie Control in the MIDI device setup section of your DAW application.

Mackie Control Universal Pro/Mackie Control Extender Pro units can function as a single.
We have prepared a profile in which as many buttons as possible send Mackie Control messages, which makes the device maximally useful with Ardour (and Mixbus). You can download the profile and load it to your Nucleus using the Edit Profiles button in SSL's Nucleus Remote application. Be sure to select it for the active DAW layer in order to make Ardour work as well as possible. Note: unfortunately, the Nucleus Remote application only runs on OS X or Windows, so Linux users will need access to another system to load the profile. We will provide notes on the profile settings at a future time.

Connecting the Nucleus
Unlike most Mackie Control devices, the Nucleus uses an ethernet connection to send and receive the MIDI messages that make up the Mackie Control protocol. Specifically, it uses a technology called 'ipMIDI' which essentially 'broadcasts' MIDI messages on a local area network, so that any connected devices (computers, control surfaces, tablets etc.) can participate.
All other DAWs so far that support the Nucleus have chosen to do so by using a 3rd party MIDI driver called 'ipMIDI', which creates a number of 'virtual' MIDI ports on your computer. You, the user, tells the DAW which ports to connect to, and ipMIDI takes care of the rest.
Mackie Control Universal Manual
Ardour has builtin ipMIDI support, with no need of any 3rd party packages, and no need to identify the 'ports' to connect to in order to communicate with the Nucleus. This makes setting it up a bit easier than most other systems.
Unless … you already installed the ipMIDI driver in order to use some other DAW with your Nucleus. If ipMIDI is configured to create any 'ports', it is not possible for Ardour's own ipMIDI support to function. We decided to offer both methods of communicating with your Nucleus. If you regularly use other DAWs, and appreciate having ipMIDI permanently set up to communication with the Nucleus—that's OK, you can tell Ardour to use the ipMIDI driver you already have. But if you're not using other DAWs with the Nucleus (and thus have not installed the ipMIDI driver), then you can ignore the ipMIDI driver entirely, and let Ardour connect directly with no configuration.
Connecting via Ardour's own ipMIDI support
This is usable only on computers with no 3rd party ipMIDI driver software installed and configured. If you have the OS X or Windows ipMIDI driver from nerds.de, it MUST be configured to offer ZERO ports before using this method.
Open Preferences > Control Surfaces. Ensure that the Mackie protocol is enabled, then double-click on it to open the Mackie Control setup dialog. Garmin fenix 5 plus user manual pdf.
Ensure that the device selected is 'SSL Nucleus'. The dialog should show a single numerical selector control below it, defining the ipMIDI port number to use (it should almost always be left at the default value of 21928).
Communication is automatically established with the Nucleus and you need do nothing more.
If this does not work, then make sure your network cables are properly connected, and that you are not running other ipMIDI software on the computer.
Connecting via 3rd party ipMIDI support
This is usable only on computers with 3rd party ipMIDI driver software installed and configured for (at least) 2 ports.
Open Preferences > Control Surfaces. Ensure that the Mackie protocol is enabled, then double-click on it to open the Mackie Control setup dialog.
Ensure that the device selected is 'SSL Nucleus (via platform MIDI)'. The dialog should show four combo/dropdown selectors, labelled (respectively):
Main Surface receives viaMain Surface sends via1st extender receives via1st extender sends via
You should choose 'ipMIDI port 1', 'ipMIDI port 1', 'ipMIDI port 2' and 'ipMIDI port 2' for each of the 4 combo/dropdown selectors.
Communication should be automatically established with the Nucleus.
If this does not work, then make sure your network cables are properly connected, and that you are running the appropriate ipMIDI driver and have configured it for 2 (or more) ports.
Nucleus Design Discussion
Mackie Control Universal Pro Manual Pdf
You might be reading this part of the manual seeking some guidance on whether the Nucleus would make a suitable control surface for your workflows. We don't want to try to answer that question definitively, since the real answer depends on the very specific details of your workflow and situation, but we would like to point out a number of design features of the Nucleus that might change your opinion.
Mackie Universal Control Manual
Cons
| No Master Faster | It is not possible to control the level of the Master bus or Monitor section. Really don't know what SSL was thinking here. |
|---|---|
| No dedicated rec-enable buttons | You have to press the 'Rec' button and convert the per-strip 'Select' buttons into rec-enables |
| No dedicated automation buttons | You have to press the 'Auto' button and convert the first 4 vpots into 4 automation-related buttons, losing your current view of the session. |
| No buttons with Mackie-defined 'Marker' functionality | Mackie's design intentions for the interoperation of the Marker, rewind and ffwd buttons requires profile editing in order to function properly. |
| No 'Dyn' button | This is hard to assign in an edited profile. To be fair, other Mackie Control devices also lack this button. |
Pros
| Single cable connectivity | No need for multiple MIDI cables to get 16 faders |
|---|---|
| Broadcast connectivity | Connecting to multiple computers does not require recabling |
| 16 faders from a single box | No need to figure out how to keep extenders together |
| Meters separated from displays | Contrast with the Mackie Control Universal Pro, where meters interfere with the display |
| DAW profiles | Easy to flip profiles for use by different DAWs. |
Ambiguous
| Ability to make buttons generate USB keyboard events | The extent to which this is useful reflects the target DAWs inability to manage all of its functionality via Mackie Control |
|---|---|
| Sophisticated 'profile' editing | It is nice to be able to reassign the functionality of most buttons, but this is only necessary because of the relatively few global buttons on the surface. |
| Builtin analog signal path | SSL clearly expects users to route audio back from their computer via the Nucleus' own 2 channel output path, and maybe even use the input path as well. They take up a significant amount of surface space with the controls for this signal path, space that could have been used for a master fader or more Mackie Control buttons. The USB audio device requires a proprietary driver, so Linux users can't use this, and OS X/Windows users will have to install a device driver (very odd for a USB audio device these days). The analog path also no doubt adds notable cost to the Nucleus. There's nothing wrong with this feature for users that don't already have a working analog/digital signal path for their computers. But who is going to spend $5000 on a Nucleus that doesn't have this already? |
