64 Chapter 3 Mackie Control
 Horizontal with Peak Hold: In this mode, the lower row of the LCD is replaced by
horizontal channel level bars. Peak Hold appears as a hollow box, which disappears
after a few seconds. Signal overloads (clipping) are indicated by an asterisk—which
remains on LCD display until cleared (see below).
 Off: In this mode, no level meter bars are displayed in the main LCD.
In all three modes, the SIGNAL LEDs of the channel strips function as per usual,
indicating the presence of a signal.
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the CONTROL button clears any
overload (clipping) indicators in the Logic Express Mixer, and in the LCD of the Mackie
Control (if the Horizontal with Peak Hold mode is active).
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the x/ALT or OPTION buttons enters
Control Surface Group Settings mode. This mode lets you edit the following control
surface group settings—some of which are not accessible with a single button:
Control Surface Group Settings mode can be exited by pressing NAME/VALUE, or by
entering one of the Marker or Nudge modes.
SMPTE/Beats
Press the SMPTE/BEATS button, located just below the SMPTE/BEATS LEDs, to switch
between the two time formats (SMPTE time or beats). For more information, see “Time
Display” on page 63.
Control Action
V-POT 5 Sets the track name display format.
 Name: Displays the track name only.
 No:Name: Displays the track number and name.
V-POT 6 Switches Channel view to Lock mode.
 Off: The standard mode, where selecting a channel strip makes it
the active (currently being edited) channel strip.
 On: Locks the active channel strip. Selection of another channel
strip has no impact on the channel strip being edited.
When you switch from On to Off, the channel strip is also updated.
V-POT 7 Switches the LCD display format.
 Name: The upper line of the LCD displays global info, and the
lower line displays parameter names.
 Value: The upper line of the LCD displays parameter names, and
the lower line displays parameter values.
Functionally, this is identical to pressing the NAME/VALUE button.
V-POT 8 Switches the Clock display format.
 Beats: Clock is displayed in bars, beats, beat sub-divisions, and
ticks.
 SMPTE: Clock is displayed in SMPTE format.
Functionally, this is identical to pressing the SMPTE/BEATS button.
