The Yamaha MCS2 is a MIDI control station featuring 12 controllers that can be used to send various MIDI control messages. It includes three fixed controllers for Pitch Bend, Modulation Wheel, and Breath Controller, along with nine assignable controllers for custom functions.
The device operates in two modes: PLAY mode, where controllers transmit assigned MIDI messages, and ASSIGN mode, which allows users to configure controller assignments and set the MIDI channel. The MCS2 also features two MIDI inputs that can be merged with its own output.
