Connecting via USB or Ethernet, the JLCooper Eclipse MXL2 Midnight offers 8 motorized faders, backlit LCD display buttons, and rotary encoders for adding tactile control to software functions without the need for proprietary interfaces. The LCD buttons can show up to 32 characters of text or graphics, making them useful as channel labels while simultaneously showing channel status. Ethernet connectivity is compatible with TCP-IP and UDP. JLCooper's SDK is available to developers in order to expand the functionality of the Eclipse MXL2.
