Mackie Control assignment views in Logic Pro
Each ASSIGNMENT button has two views: Mixer view and Channel view. These views
provide two ways to edit parameters in your project.
• Mixer view: Displays, and allows you to edit, a single parameter in multiple channels.
• Channel view: Displays, and allows you to edit, multiple parameters for a single channel.
The mode display shows a period (.) in the lower-right corner when Channel view is
active.
Pressing an ASSIGNMENT button once selects it, and switches to Mixer view, except when
switching between Instrument Edit view and Plug-in Edit view. In this case, the mode
remains in Channel view.
Note: For each of the ASSIGNMENT buttons, the parameters you can edit change,
depending on the active view.
The NAME/VALUE button also affects what is shown on the main LCD when in the Mixer
and Channel views. For more information, see Mackie Control function keys in Logic Pro.

Mackie Control Mixer view in Logic Pro
Mixer view allows you to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips: volume, pan,
input format, input assignment, output assignment, or automation mode. When you switch to
Mixer view, the parameter being edited is briefly displayed on the right side of the main LCD.
The mode display shows “tr” (for track), and the upper row of the LCD shows track names.
Press NAME/VALUE to display parameter values on the lower row of the LCD. These are
shown when you turn a V-Pot, or press its button.
You can manipulate the following controls for editing in Mixer view:
• Rotating the V-Pots changes the associated channel strip parameter.
• Pressing the button on a V-Pot sets the parameter to its default value.
• The Cursor Left/Cursor Right buttons switch to the next or previous channel strip
parameter. The selected parameter is displayed briefly in the upper row of the LCD.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
