•
Vertical: In this mode, the last character of each channel (in both LCD rows) is overlaid by a
vertical bar that shows the channel level. The text characters reappear when the level meter
is not visible.
•
Horizontal with Peak Hold: In this mode, the lower row of the LCD is replaced by horizontal
channel level bars. Peak Hold appears as a hollow box, which disappears after a few seconds.
Signal overloads (clipping) are indicated by an asterisk, which remains on the LCD display
until cleared.
•
O: In this mode, no level meter bars are displayed in the main LCD.
In all three modes, the SIGNAL LEDs of the channel strips function as per usual, indicating the
presence of a signal.
Hold down the CONTROL button, then press the NAME/VALUE button to clear any overload
(clipping) indicators in the Logic Pro Mixer and in the LCD if the Horizontal with Peak Hold
mode is active.
Hold down the CMD/ALT or OPTION button, then press the NAME/VALUE button to turn on
Control Surface Group Settings mode. This mode lets you edit the outlined control surface
group settings, some of which are not accessible with a single button.
You can exit Control Surface Group Settings mode by pressing NAME/VALUE or by entering
one of the Marker or Nudge modes. See Mackie Control Marker button overview and
Mackie Control Nudge button overview.
