Swap Mode
Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing the FLIP button activates Swap mode. In
Swap mode, the encoder assignments are swapped with the fader assignments, so that
the faders control the parameter previously assigned to the V-Pots, and vice versa. The
LED next to the FLIP button flashes when Swap mode is active.
When Swap mode is active, pressing FLIP again reverts to Flip mode. Holding down the
SHIFT button and pressing FLIP turns off Swap mode, and returns the V-Pot and fader
assignments to the state they were in before you activated Flip or Swap mode.
Zero Mode
Holding down the CONTROL button while pressing the FLIP button activates Zero mode.
In Zero mode, the faders are set to the zero position and do not move. This is useful in
situations where the Mackie Control is located close to microphones, and you want to
make sure that you don’t capture the mechanical noise of the faders moving.
When Zero mode is active, pressing FLIP again reverts to Flip mode. Holding down the
CONTROL button while pressing FLIP turns off Zero mode, and reactivates the faders.
