Use Mackie Control cursor and zoom keys in
Logic Pro
The five buttons to the left of the Jog/Shuttle Wheel serve a number of purposes. The four
cursor buttons—Up, Down, Left, and Right—encircle the central ZOOM button.
When the ZOOM button is not active (its LED is unlit), the four cursor buttons select the
current parameter, or shift the current parameter page or Send/EQ/Insert slot, depending
on the current V-Pot assignment.
• 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.
Use Zoom mode
Do one of the following:
• To turn Zoom mode on or off: Press the ZOOM button.
• To change the vertical or horizontal zoom factor of the window with key focus: Use the
cursor buttons.
In the Tracks window:
• OPTION and Up or Down changes the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Left resets the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Right resets the zoom factor of all tracks of the same class (audio, MIDI,
and so on) as the selected track.
Use the cursor buttons as computer keyboard arrow keys
In modes that don’t require page or slot shifts, the cursor buttons emulate the computer
keyboard 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 arrow keys, allowing region or event selection.
• Hold down the SHIFT button, then use the Up, Down, Left, or Right buttons as you
would use the equivalent computer keyboard arrow keys.
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. Press the ZOOM button to
turn off this mode.
