Mackie Control: Replace, Click, and Solo Buttons

The CLICK button activates or deactivates the (MIDI or Klopfgeist) metronome click. There
are independent click settings for play and record. To access the click settings, choose
File > Project Settings > Metronome.

The SOLO button behaves as per the Solo key command. Individual channels can be
soloed with the SOLO buttons on each channel strip. MIDI or audio regions can be selected,
and soloed, along with the selected channels. Each channel features an independent
SOLO LED, which is lit when a channel strip is soloed. The RUDE SOLO LED—just to the

central ZOOM button.
Mackie Control: Normal Operation
When the ZOOM button is not active (its LED is unlit), the four cursor buttons select the
current parameter, shift the current parameter page or Send/EQ/Insert slot, depending
on the current V-Pot assignment.
