80 Chapter 3 Mackie Control
Instrument Button
Pressing the INSTRUMENT button activates Instrument Mixer view, unless the Mackie
Control is currently in Plug-in Edit view. In this case, pressing the INSTRUMENT button
switches to Instrument Edit view.
If you can’t see the software instrument channel strips, use the BANK or CHANNEL
buttons in the FADER BANKS zone, or switch to All view by pressing the INSTRUMENT
button. (This assumes that you have created at least one or more software instrument
tracks).
Instrument Mixer View
In this mode, you can view and edit the Instrument slots of all instrument channels.
 The mode display shows “In” (for instrument).
 The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
 The lower LCD row shows the name of the currently selected instrument. Muted
instrument names are preceded by an asterisk
*.
 Turning the V-Pots pre-selects a new instrument. The pre-selected instrument name
flashes until activated.
 Turning another channel’s V-Pot will cancel any previous pre-selection, and will start
pre-selection on the newly chosen channel strip.
 Pressing a V-Pot button:
 Activates the pre-selected instrument plug-in (assuming that you’ve made your
pre-selection by turning the V-Pot).
 Opens a plug-in window, if none are opened. If a plug-in window is open, and Link
mode is enabled, the selection of another instrument plug-in will replace the
existing one.
 Switches to Instrument Edit view.
 Pressing a V-Pot or MUTE button while holding the SHIFT button mutes/unmutes the
instrument.
To remove an instrument:
1 Pre-select the “--” value (by turning the V-Pot fully counter-clockwise).
2 Press the V-Pot button.
Mackie Control will not switch to Instrument Edit view, and no plug-in window will be
launched. If a plug-in window is open, it will be closed.
