Chapter 4 Mackie Control 74
Instrument edit view
In this view, you can edit instrument parameters.
Note: Mackie Control can edit all instruments that can be automated, regardless of the type
of plug-in you are using (Logic Pro native or Audio Units). Some third-party manufacturer
instruments do not provide parameter names or values as text. In such cases, parameters
are named and enumerated as “Control #1,” “Control #2,” and so on, with values displayed as
numbers ranging between 0 and 1000. Contact the plug-in manufacturer to obtain a version that
supports this feature.
In Instrument edit view:
•
The mode display shows “In.”
•
Depending on the state of the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD changes in the following ways:
•
Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip name, instrument name, current
parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD row shows the name
of the parameter that can be edited with the V-Pot directly below.
•
Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter that can be edited with the
V-Pot below. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter being edited. If
there is sucient space on the LCD row, the unit type is shown after the value; for example,
Hz or dB.
•
Rotating a V-Pot changes the corresponding parameter.
•
Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except when the parameter
only has two values (on/o, for example). In this case, pressing the V-Pot button switches
between these values.
