74 Chapter 3 Mackie Control
The Left and Right cursors switch to the next or previous EQ band. The LCD displays
two EQ bands. If you have one or more connected Mackie Control (XT) units, each XT
can display two EQ bands—up to a total of eight.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
Alternate EQ Edit Mode Options
Holding down the EQ button accesses a further sub-menu in the LCD. The mode
display shows E_ or E_., dependent on whether you are in EQ Mixer or EQ Channel
view mode.
Note: The faders form a frequency response curve in this mode, if the EQ bands have
ascending frequency values.
Tip: You can edit another channel strips EQ without leaving this view by simply
selecting the channel strip in Logic Express, or by pressing the appropriate Select
button on the Mackie Control.
