Chapter 3 Mackie Control 63
Assignment Display
The LED Assignment display (also referred to as the mode display), to the right of the
main LCD, shows a two-digit abbreviation of the current assignment state. A period (.)
appears at the bottom-right corner of the display when Channel view is active.
Time Display
The Time display, to the right of the Assignment display, shows the current playhead
position, either in musical time divisions (BEATS) or in SMPTE time code format
(SMPTE). A small LED to the left of the display indicates the current display format.
 When the format is set to Beats, the four segments of the Time display show the
current playhead position as bars, beats, beat sub-divisions, and ticks.
 When the format is set to SMPTE, the four segments of the Time display show the
current playhead position as hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
You can switch between formats by pressing the SMPTE/BEATS button directly below
the display. You can also set the default format with the Clock Display parameter in the
Control Surface Setup window. Information on this (and other configuration options) is
found in “Configuring Your Control Surface Setup” on page 23.
Solo LED
The Solo LED (“Rude Solo” on the Mackie Control), located at the right edge of the
display zone, is lit when any channel strip is set to solo, or Solo mode is enabled. It is a
helpful reminder in situations where you have soloed a channel strip, and then
switched the fader bank, resulting in the Solo LED (of the soloed channel strip) being
hidden on the control surface.
Display Buttons
These buttons, located just below the left edge of the Time display, affect what you see
in the main LCD and Time display.
Name/Value
Press the NAME/VALUE button to switch between the two parameter display formats
(either the parameter name or value is shown) on the main LCD.
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the SHIFT button cycles through three
level meter modes on the main LCD:
 Vertical: In this mode, the last character of each channel (in both LCD rows) is
overlaid by a vertical bar which shows the channel level. The text characters reappear
when the level meter is not visible.
