Mackie Control Flip button in Logic Pro
Press the FLIP button (alone, or in combination with a modifier key) to activate or
deactivate one of the following modes: Flip, Swap, or Zero.
• Flip mode: In Flip mode, the current assignments of the eight V-Pots are mirrored by
the eight channel faders, so that both control the same parameter. Rotating one of the
V-Pots causes the corresponding fader to move, and vice versa. When you activate Flip
mode, the LED next to the FLIP button illuminates. Pressing the FLIP button again turns
off Flip mode. Flip mode offers the following advantages:
• You can edit any type of parameter with a fader, which allows more precise editing
control.
• Unlike the V-Pots, the faders are touch-sensitive. This allows you to overwrite
existing controller automation movements with a constant value.
• Swap mode: Hold down the SHIFT button while pressing the FLIP button to activate
Swap mode. In Swap mode, the encoder assignments are swapped with the fader
assignments, so that the faders control the parameter previously assigned to the V-Pots,
and vice versa. The LED next to the FLIP button flashes when Swap mode is active.
When Swap mode is active, pressing FLIP again reverts to Flip mode. Holding down the
SHIFT button and pressing FLIP turns off Swap mode, and returns the V-Pot and fader
assignments to the state they were in before you activated Flip or Swap mode.
• Zero mode: Hold down the CONTROL button while pressing the FLIP button to activate
Zero mode. In Zero mode, the faders are set to the zero position and do not move.
This is useful in situations where the Mackie Control is located close to microphones,
and you want to make sure that you don’t capture the mechanical noise of the faders
moving.
When Zero mode is active, pressing FLIP again reverts to Flip mode. Holding down the
CONTROL button while pressing FLIP turns off Zero mode, and reactivates the faders.
Mackie Control Global View buttons in Logic Pro
The GLOBAL VIEW button is used in conjunction with the other eight GLOBAL VIEW buttons
to display (and edit) specific types of channel strips. Pressing any of the buttons activates
All View; when this view is active, the green LED to the right of the GLOBAL VIEW button is
lit.
When you press one of the Global View buttons, 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.
View (and edit) multiple All View channel strips
• 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.
For example, to display both the audio and output channel strips, hold down the AUDIO
TRACKS button, then press the OUTPUTS button.
