Chapter 3 Mackie Control 81
Instrument Edit View
You can view and edit instrument parameters in this mode.
 The mode display shows “In.”
 Dependent on the state of the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD changes in the
following ways:
 Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip name, instrument name,
current parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD row
shows the name of the parameter—that can be edited with the V-Pot directly
below.
 Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter that can be edited
with the V-Pot below. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter
being edited. If there is sufficient space on the LCD row, the unit type is shown
after the value. Example: Hz or dB.
 Turning a V-Pot changes the corresponding parameter.
 Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except where the
parameter only has two values (on/off, for example). In this case, pressing the V-Pot
button switches between these values.
Compatibility
Mackie Control can edit all instruments that can be automated, regardless of the type
of plug-in you are using (Logic Express native, Audio Units).
Some third-party manufacturer instruments do not provide parameter names and/or
values as text. In such cases, parameters are named/enumerated as “Control #1,”
“Control #2,” and so on, with values displayed as numbers ranging between 0 and 1000.
Please contact the plug-in manufacturer to obtain a version which supports this
feature.
