Chapter 3 Mackie Control 83
For views where one type of channel strip is displayed (such as audio, instruments, or
auxes), Logic Express remembers the last group of eight channel strips shown in the
view—and returns to it when you switch back from another view. As an example; if you
start in a view with audio channel strips 4 through 11 visible, switch to an instruments
view, scroll to instruments 6 through 13, and then switch back to the audio channel
view, you will return to audio channel strips 4 through 11 (not 6 through 13). Switching
back to the instrument channel view displays instruments 6 through 13.
Flip Button
Pressing the FLIP button (alone, or in combination with a Modifier key) enables and
disables one of the following three modes: Flip, Swap, or Zero mode.
Flip Mode
Pressing the FLIP button enables Flip mode. In Flip mode, the current assignments of
the eight V-Pots are mirrored by the eight channel faders, so that both control the
same parameter. Turning one of the V-Pots causes the corresponding fader value to
move, and vice versa. The LED next to the FLIP button is lit when you activate Flip
mode. Pressing the FLIP button a second time disables Flip mode.
Flip mode offers the following advantages:
 You can edit any type of parameter with a fader, which allows more precise editing
control.
 Unlike the V-Pots, the faders are touch-sensitive. This allows you to overwrite existing
controller automation movements with a constant value.
Swap Mode
Holding down the SHIFT button, while pressing the FLIP button, enables Swap mode.
In Swap mode, the encoder assignments are swapped with the fader assignments, so
that the faders control the parameter previously assigned to the V-Pots, and vice versa.
The LED next to the FLIP button flashes when Swap mode is active.
When Swap mode is active, pressing the FLIP button reverts to Flip mode. Holding
down SHIFT and pressing FLIP disables Swap mode, and returns the V-Pot and fader
assignments to their pre-Flip (or Swap) mode states.
Zero Mode
Holding down the CONTROL button, while pressing the FLIP button, enables Zero
mode. In Zero mode, the faders are set to the zero position and do not move. This is
useful in situations where the Mackie Control is located close to microphones, and you
want to make sure that you don’t capture the mechanical noise of the faders moving.
When Zero mode is active, pressing the FLIP button reverts to Flip mode. Holding
down CONTROL while pressing FLIP disables Zero mode, and re-activates the faders.
