Chapter 3 Mackie Control 89
Cancel
When an alert appears on your computer screen, you can cancel (or abort) it by
pressing the Cancel button. For information about alerts, see “Modal Dialog Display” on
page 34.
Pressing the CANCEL button when no alert is visible on screen does the following:
 Opens the Toolbox at the current on screen position of the mouse pointer.
 Alternately, it will perform any function currently assigned to the computer
keyboard’s Esc key.
 If the Mackie Control is currently showing the contents of a folder track, pressing the
Cancel button exits the folder.
 Cancel also enables you to invalidate a (blinking) parameter value pre-selection.
Enter
When an alert appears on your computer screen, pressing the ENTER button triggers
the default button in the alert. For information about alerts, see “Modal Dialog Display”
on page 34.
If there is no alert onscreen, and the selected track is a folder track, pressing the ENTER
button opens the folder.
Transport Zone
The Transport zone features five buttons for the standard transport functions (Rewind,
Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and Record) and seven small, circular buttons for different
recording and playback modes. Each button has a dedicated LED which indicates its
current status.
You can use these buttons independently, or in conjunction with one another, to
navigate and edit your projects.
Rewind
Rewinds/shuttles through the project. Pressing REWIND repeatedly while rewinding
accelerates the rewind speed. Pressing FAST FWD button repeatedly—while
rewinding—slows down, stops, and eventually reverses the shuttle direction. Pressing
the STOP button halts the rewind at the current playhead position. Turning the Jog/
Scrub Wheel also exits rewind shuttle mode.
When one of the Marker modes is activated, pressing the REWIND button moves the
playhead to the previous marker.
When one of the Nudge modes is activated, the REWIND button moves the selected
regions or events backward by the value defined in Large Nudge mode.
