• Depending on the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD display changes between the two
modes in the following ways:
• Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip’s name, insert number, plug-in
name, current parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD
row shows the name of the parameter, which can be edited via the corresponding
V-Pot (the one below the parameter name).
• Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter which can be edited
via the corresponding V-Pot. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the
parameter. If there is sufficient onscreen space, the unit type will be added; for
example, Hz or dB.
• Turning the V-Pots changes parameter values.
• Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except when the
parameter only has two values (on/off, for example). In this case, pressing the V-Pot
button switches between these values.
• The Cursor Left/Cursor Right buttons switch to the next or previous parameter page.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
When using the cursor buttons to switch between parameters, the parameters change
in groups of eight (unless the parameters on the last page do not make a complete group
of eight). For example, if a plug-in has 19 parameters, and the Mackie Control is controlling
parameters 1 to 8:
• Pressing the Cursor Right button shifts to parameters 9 to 16.
• Pressing the Cursor Right button again shifts to parameters 12 to 19.
• Pressing the Cursor Left button shifts back to parameters 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
This way, you always revert to the page positions you expect to find, and are comfortable
with.
• To switch by a single parameter, rather than by page, hold down the CMD/ALT key
while pressing the Cursor Left or Cursor Right button.
• The Cursor Up/Cursor Down buttons change the currently displayed Insert slot (1 to
15).
If you have a control surface group consisting of several Mackie Control and XT units, the
parameters are distributed across their displays. The number of parameters shown depends
on the Multiple Controls per Parameter settings in the Logic Express > Preferences >
Control Surfaces > Preferences. See Setting Control Surfaces Preferences for details.
Note: When you exit Plug-in Edit view, the plug-in window closes.
