Mackie Control: Global View Zone
You can use the eight buttons in the Global View zone to display (and edit) specific types
of channel strips. Pressing any of the buttons in the Global View zone activates All View
mode; when this mode is active, the green LED to the right of the GLOBAL VIEW button
is illuminated.
When you press one of the buttons in the Global View zone, the corresponding type of
channel strip appears in the main LCD. You can edit each channel strip with the
corresponding channel strip controls. Pressing multiple buttons (Audio Tracks, Instruments,
and Aux, for example) displays all channels of the selected types.

While holding down any button in the Global View zone, press another button to add
this channel strip type to those currently displayed. If a channel strip type is already
displayed, pressing its button removes it from the display.
As an example, to display both the audio and output channel strips, hold down the AUDIO
TRACKS button, then press the OUTPUTS button.
Mackie Control: Modifier Buttons
The four Modifier buttons correspond to the modifier keys on your computer keyboard
(but function independently from them). You can use these buttons, along with the
appropriate key on your computer keyboard (or with the mouse), in place of using the
corresponding modifier key. This also applies to modified Mackie Control commands.
A generic description of each button follows:
• SHIFT: Provides an alternate function or meaning for a button.
• OPTION: The function applies to all channel strips. For relative value changes, sets the
value to its minimum, default, or maximum, depending on whether you’re increasing
or decreasing it.
• CONTROL: While held down, the group clutch is engaged, and channel strip groups
are temporarily disabled.
• CMD/ALT: Allows fine-tuning, or another variation, of the function.
Mackie Control: Automation Buttons
The Automation buttons activate the corresponding automation modes in Logic Express:
Read/Off, Touch, Latch, and Write. You use the Automation buttons in conjunction with
the channel strip SELECT buttons, as follows:
To set the automation mode for a channel
