Chapter 3 Mackie Control 87
 LATCH: Similar to Touch mode, but the control remains active—even when the fader
is no longer being touched, or the V-Pot is not being turned. When you release the
fader, the current fader value replaces all existing automation data—for as long as
Logic Express is in playback (or record) mode. Press STOP to prevent existing
automation data from being overwritten.
 WRITE: Overwrites all existing automation data, or creates new automation data if
none exists. Only use this option if you want to destroy all existing automation data.
Pressing one of the AUTOMATION buttons, while holding the OPTION key, assigns the
selected automation mode to all channels. When an automation mode has been
assigned to all channels, the corresponding automation mode button LED illuminates
whenever you hold down the OPTION key.
Important: This behavior is slightly different for the Off automation mode. When
holding down the OPTION button and pressing Read/Off, the LEDs for the other
Automation buttons are unlit, but this does not necessarily indicate that all channel
strips are actually in Off mode—they could still be set to other modes. To ensure that
you have set all channel strips to Off mode, press Read/Off twice while holding down
the OPTION key. The Read/Off button LED turns on, then off.
Group
Pressing the GROUP button enters Group Edit mode, allowing you to edit various Mixer
group parameters.
In Group Edit mode:
 The upper line of the LCD displays channel strip names.
 The lower line of the LCD displays group parameters.
 The Assignment display shows the currently displayed group—G1, for example.
 The Time display shows the group name (if the name is longer than ten characters,
the last ten characters are displayed).
 You can switch between Group parameters with the V-Pot buttons.
 The Cursor Up and Down buttons select the previous or next group.
 The Cursor Left and Right buttons shift the group parameter display.
 The Select buttons determine group membership. Pressing a Select button adds the
channel strip to the group (or removes it from the group, if already a member). A lit
Select button LED indicates active group membership.
 The LED next to the GROUP button is lit.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
If Group Edit mode is off, holding down GROUP and pressing one or more Select
buttons allows you to create a new group.
