Important: This behavior is slightly different for the Off automation mode. Holding down
the OPTION button and pressing READ/OFF dims the LEDs for the other Automation
buttons, but this does not necessarily indicate that all channel strips are in Off mode—
they could still be set to other modes. To make sure that you have set all channel strips to
Off mode, press READ/OFF twice while holding down the OPTION button. The READ/OFF
button LED turns on, then off.

Mackie Control Group button in Logic Pro
Press the GROUP button to activate group edit mode that allows you to edit various Mixer
group parameters.
• The upper row of the LCD displays channel strip names.
• The lower row of the LCD displays group parameters.
• The Assignment display shows the currently displayed group—G1, for example.
• The Time display shows the group name. (If the name is longer than ten characters, the
last ten characters are displayed.)
• You can switch between group parameters with the V-Pot buttons.
• The Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons select the previous or next group.
• The Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons shift the group parameter display.
• The SELECT buttons determine group membership. Pressing a SELECT button adds
the channel strip to the group (or removes it from the group, if already a member). An
illuminated SELECT button LED indicates active group membership.
• The LED next to the GROUP button is illuminated.
Note: Make sure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
If Group Edit mode is off, holding down the GROUP button and pressing one or more
SELECT buttons allows you to create a new group.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group,
opens the Group window, and activates group edit mode.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the TRACK button switches to Mixer view,
with the channel strip group parameter shown. It displays the group that the selected
channel strip belongs to. Multiple group membership is displayed as in the Mixer window.
Rotating a V-Pot changes group membership.
Note: You can select only one group (or Off) with this function.
