Mackie Control: CHANNEL LEFT and CHANNEL RIGHT Buttons
Using the CHANNEL LEFT and CHANNEL RIGHT buttons, you can move up or down by a
single channel strip. Pressing the CHANNEL RIGHT button shifts (the active channel strips)
up by a single channel strip, while pressing CHANNEL LEFT shifts them down by a single
channel strip. For example, if you are viewing channel strips 1 to 8 and press the CHANNEL
RIGHT button, channel strips 2 to 9 are displayed.
Notes on Using the FADER BANKS Buttons
When holding down the OPTION button, pressing the BANK or CHANNEL LEFT button
jumps to the first set of channel strips in the project. Pressing the BANK or CHANNEL
RIGHT button jumps to the last set of channel strips in the project. For example, if your
project has 64 channel strips, pressing BANK or CHANNEL LEFT jumps to channel strips
1 through 8, and pressing BANK or CHANNEL RIGHT jumps to channel strips 57 through
64.
For views where one type of channel strip is displayed (such as audio, instruments, or
busses), Logic Express remembers the last group of eight channel strips shown in the
view, and returns to it when you switch back from another view. For example, if you
start in a view with audio channel strips 4 through 11 visible, switch to an instruments
view, scroll to instruments 6 through 13, and then switch back to the audio channel
view, you will return to audio channel strips 4 through 11 (not 6 through 13). Switching
to the Instrument Channel view displays instruments 6 through 13.
Mackie Control: FLIP Button
Press the FLIP button (alone, or in combination with a modifier key) to activate or
deactivate one of the following modes: Flip, Swap, or Zero.
Flip Mode
Pressing the FLIP button activates Flip mode. In Flip mode, the current assignments of
the eight V-Pots are mirrored by the eight channel faders, so that both control the same
parameter. Turning one of the V-Pots causes the corresponding fader to move, and vice
versa. When you activate Flip mode, the LED next to the FLIP button illuminates. Pressing
the FLIP button again turns off Flip mode.
Flip mode offers the following advantages:
• You can edit any type of parameter with a fader, which allows more precise editing
control.
• Unlike the V-Pots, the faders are touch-sensitive. This allows you to overwrite existing
controller automation movements with a constant value.
