When the OPTION button is held down, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons scroll
to the first and last page, and the Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons scroll to the first
and last slot.
When the CMD/ALT button is held down, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons shift
the parameter display by one parameter, rather than one page.
In view modes that don’t require page or slot shifts, the cursor buttons emulate the
computer keyboard’s arrow keys. As an example, the left and right buttons select channel
strips when in Mixer view.
In Large and Temporary Nudge modes, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons emulate
the computer keyboard’s arrow keys, allowing easy region or event selection.
Mackie Control: Zoom Mode
Pressing the ZOOM button activates Zoom mode. The cursor buttons are then used to
change the vertical or horizontal zoom factor of the window with key focus.
In the Arrange window:
• OPTION and Cursor Up or Cursor Down changes the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Cursor Left resets the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Cursor Right resets the zoom factor of all tracks of the same class (audio,
MIDI, and so on) as the selected track.
Mackie Control: Computer Arrow Key Emulation
To use the cursor buttons as a replacement for the computer keyboard arrow keys, hold
down the SHIFT button.
When SHIFT and ZOOM are pressed, the cursor buttons enter Permanent Cursor Key
mode—they mimic the computer arrow keys without the need to hold down the SHIFT
button. The ZOOM button LED flashes when in this mode.
You can deactivate this mode by pressing the ZOOM button.
Mackie Control: Jog/Scrub Wheel Zone
The Jog/Scrub Wheel and SCRUB button can be used to navigate through the project,
which is useful for a number of transport tasks. Simply turn the dial to use it. The following
Scrub modes change the behavior of the Jog/Scrub Wheel.
• Scrub mode off: The Jog/Scrub Wheel moves the playhead.
• Scrub mode on: The Jog/Scrub Wheel performs scrubbing, which allows you to hear
the data of the selected (or soloed) tracks while scrolling or moving through the project.
