If one or more sends are activated on multiple channels, you can switch between them
while in the Channel View modes, by simply pressing the SELECT button of the desired
channel.
Mackie Control: PLUG-IN Button
Pressing the PLUG-IN button activates Plug-in Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly
switches between Plug-in Mixer view and Plug-in Channel view.
Note: There is one exception to this behavior: If you are in Instrument Edit view, pressing
this button switches to Plug-in Edit view. For more information, see Instrument Edit View.
Plug-in Mixer View
In this mode, you can view and edit the plug-ins associated with a particular Insert slot
for all channels.
• The mode display shows P1 to P9, or 10 to 16, indicating the selected Insert slot number.
Note: If a software instrument channel is selected, the display shows P1 to P9 and 10 to
15.
• The upper row of the LCD shows channel strip names.
• The lower row of the LCD shows the currently selected plug-in for the active Insert slot.
Muted plug-ins are shown with an asterisk (*) that precedes the plug-in name.
• Turning the V-Pots preselects a new plug-in. The plug-in name flashes until confirmed
by pressing the V-Pot button.
• Turning another channel’s V-Pot cancels any earlier preselection, and starts preselection
on the newly selected channel strip.
• Pressing a V-Pot button:
• Confirms or activates the preselected plug-in (assuming that you’ve made your
preselection by turning the V-Pot).
• Opens a plug-in window, if none is opened. If a plug-in window is open, and Link
mode is turned on, the selection of another plug-in replaces the existing plug-in
window.
• Switches to Plug-in Edit view.
• The Cursor Up/Cursor Down buttons change the currently displayed plug-in Insert slot
(1 to 15).
• Pressing a V-Pot or MUTE button while the SHIFT button is held down mutes or unmutes
the plug-in.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
