88 Chapter 3 Mackie Control
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group,
opens the Group window, and enters Group Edit mode.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the TRACK button switches to Mixer
view, with the channel strip group parameter shown. It displays the group that the
selected channel strip belongs to. Multiple group membership is displayed as in the
Mixer window. Turning a V-Pot changes group membership.
Note: You can only select one group (or Off ) with this function.
Utilities Buttons
The four Utilities buttons trigger common Logic Express functions: Save, Undo, Cancel,
and Enter.
Save
Press to save the current project file. The first time you save a project, a Save dialog
appears on your computer screen. Enter a name and location for the file, then click the
Save button in the dialog.
The main LCD displays this message: There is a file select dialog on the screen
and the Position/Time display shows ALERT. All LEDs are unlit. Once the file save has
been confirmed in Logic Express, the Mackie Control returns all controls to their
previous state (before you pressed the SAVE button).
Once you have named a project and saved it once, further presses of the SAVE button
will store the current project state—without presenting a Save dialog onscreen, or
showing any alerts on the LCD. This allows you to quickly save incremental changes as
your project develops.
The SAVE LED is illuminated as soon as you make (save-able) changes to your project.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing SAVE opens the Save As dialog on the
computer screen. This allows you to rename a project, or save it in a different location.
Undo
Pressing the UNDO button undoes the last undo-able action. As Logic Express supports
a nearly unlimited number of undo/redo steps, the green UNDO LED illuminates to
indicate that Redo is available, not to indicate an undo-able step. The LCD provides a
warning that performing a reversible editing step will render all Redo steps unavailable.
Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing UNDO performs a Redo.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing UNDO opens the Undo History
window.
