I have connected my MCU Pro and eXtender using the USB connection to the MCU Pro.
Unfortunately the two surfaces are pointing to the same tracks, essentially duplicating each other.
 
The MCU is connected to MIDI port MCU Pro USB v3.1
The XT is connected to MIDI port MIDIIN2 (MCU Pro USB v3.1)
 
It appears that the same MIDI instructions are being sent to both units.
 
Am i missing something fundamental in the setup?
 
Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks
Adam

You just need to assign each surface to it's own bank of tracks in the Mackie properties box.
 
  1. In the Sonar main menu click on "Utilities--->Macke Control -1"
  2. Click on the configure layout button (Bottom right corner)
  3. Use V-pot 1 on each unit to assign the banks
  4. Click on the "Press again when done" button in the Mackie properties box
 
That should sort it. You can also set a lot of other preferences there such as what the f-keys control.

Wow.  It was that simple.  THANK YOU so much.  I figured i was missing something basic (operator error)
 
I appreciate it very much
