Once you have named a project and saved it, further presses of the SAVE button store
the current project state without presenting a Save dialog onscreen, or showing any alerts
on the LCD. This allows you to quickly save incremental changes you make as your project
develops.
The SAVE LED is illuminated as soon as you make (saveable) changes to your project.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing SAVE opens the Save As dialog on the
computer screen. This allows you to rename a project, or save it in a different location.
UNDO Button
Pressing the UNDO button undoes the last undoable action. As Logic Express supports
a nearly unlimited number of undo/redo steps, the green UNDO LED illuminates to indicate
that Redo is available, not to indicate an undoable step. The LCD provides a warning that
performing a reversible editing step will render all Redo steps unavailable.
Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing UNDO performs a Redo.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing UNDO opens the Undo History window.
CANCEL Button
When an alert appears on your computer screen, you can cancel (or abort) it by pressing
the CANCEL button. For information about alerts, see Modal Dialog Display.
Pressing the CANCEL button when no alert is visible onscreen does the following:
• Opens the Toolbox at the current onscreen position of the pointer.
• Alternately, it will perform any function currently assigned to the computer keyboard’s
Esc (Escape) key.
• If the Mackie Control is currently showing the contents of a folder track, pressing the
CANCEL button exits the folder.
• The CANCEL button also lets you invalidate a (blinking) parameter value preselection.
ENTER Button
When an alert appears on your computer screen, pressing the ENTER button activates
the default button in the alert. For information about alerts, see Modal Dialog Display.
If there is no alert onscreen, and the selected track is a folder track, pressing the ENTER
button opens the folder.
Mackie Control: Transport Zone
