Large Marker mode
Hold down the SHIFT button, then press the MARKER button to show three create options on the
LCD, assigned to the three rightmost V-Pot buttons.
Once markers have been created, press the V-Pot button listed below to create or delete a
marker at the current playhead position.
Control Action
V-Pot 1 to 5 Displays the rst ve markers by name. Pressing
a V-Pot button moves the playhead to the
corresponding marker. When the playhead position is
inside a marker, the lower line displays INSIDE, and the
V-Pot LED ring is lit.
V-Pot 6 Cr w/o—Creates a marker, without rounding to the
nearest bar.
V-Pot 7 Create—Creates a marker, rounded to the nearest bar.
V-Pot 8 Delete—Deletes the marker above the current
playhead position.
A recommended workow for creating or deleting markers is to use the Jog/Scrub Wheel. Turn
the wheel to move the playhead to the required project position, and then press the appropriate
V-Pot to create or delete a marker.
•
For coarse placement, use the wheel to move the playhead.
•
For ne placement, press the SCRUB button, then use the wheel to precisely position the
playhead. (This technique is only appropriate if creating or deleting an unrounded marker.)
For more information about using the Jog/Scrub Wheel, see Mackie Control Jog/Scrub wheel on
page 89.
Large Marker mode is ended by pressing the MARKER button again.
Mackie Control Nudge button
Mackie Control Nudge button overview
The NUDGE button allows you to move (nudge) selected audio or MIDI regions (or events) in
Small, Large, or Temporary Nudge mode.
Note: The Marker and Nudge modes are mutually exclusive; activating one deactivates the other.
•
Small Nudge mode: Press the NUDGE button to reassign the behavior of the FAST FWD and
REWIND buttons; pressing either FAST FWD or REWIND nudges the selected regions or events
by the value dened in Large Nudge mode. Pressing the NUDGE button a second time reverts
to the default behavior of the FAST FWD and REWIND buttons. (See Mackie Control transport
buttons overview on page 82.) Small Nudge mode is useful if you want to nudge regions or
events but still use the V-Pots for other purposes.
•
Large Nudge mode: Hold down the SHIFT button, then press the NUDGE button to show eight
functions on the LCD that are mapped to the corresponding V-Pot buttons. These functions
allow you to move the selected region or events by various amounts or to a specic position.
See Large Nudge mode.
•
Temporary Nudge mode: Hold down the NUDGE button and use one or more of the V-Pots to
use Nudge temporarily for one or two small moves. This action executes the selected function,
then exits Temporary Nudge mode as soon as you release the NUDGE button. See Temporary
Nudge mode.
