Mackie Control does not switch to Instrument Edit view, and no plug-in window opens.

Instrument Edit View
You can view and edit instrument parameters in this mode.
• The mode display shows “In.”
• Depending on the state of the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD changes in the following
ways:
• Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip name, instrument name, current
parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD row shows
the name of the parameter that can be edited with the V-Pot directly below.
• Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter that can be edited with
the V-Pot below. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter being
edited. If there is sufficient space on the LCD row, the unit type is shown after the
value; for example, Hz or dB.
• Turning a V-Pot changes the corresponding parameter.
• 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.
Compatibility
Mackie Control can edit all instruments that can be automated, regardless of the type of
plug-in you are using (Logic Express native, Audio Units).
Some third-party manufacturer instruments do not provide parameter names or values
as text. In such cases, parameters are named and enumerated as “Control #1,” “Control
#2,” and so on, with values displayed as numbers ranging between 0 and 1000.
Contact the plug-in manufacturer to obtain a version that supports this feature.
