Mackie Control assignment buttons
Mackie Control Assignment buttons overview
Directly below the Assignment LED are six ASSIGNMENT buttons.
Press one of the ASSIGNMENT buttons to select the type of parameter that you want to control
or edit with the channel strip V-Pots, faders, and switches. The corresponding LED is lit to indicate
the currently active assignment, and the Assignment display shows a two-digit abbreviation of
the assignment type.
The ASSIGNMENT buttons work in both Single and All views. Views are discussed in
Mackie Control assignment views on page 60.
Mackie Control assignment views
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 aects what is shown on the main LCD when in the Mixer and
Channel views. For more information, see Mackie Control function keys on page 77.
