Mackie Control Replace, Click, and Solo buttons
These buttons are used for a number of global Logic Pro functions.
Replace, Click, and Solo buttons
•
REPLACE button: Press to turn Replace mode on or o. There are independent click settings for
play and record. To access the click settings, choose File > Project Settings > Metronome.
•
CLICK button: Press to turn the MIDI or Klopfgeist metronome click on or o.
Press the SHIFT and CLICK buttons to activate or deactivate both External Sync mode and
transmission of MMC.
•
SOLO button: Press to turn the Solo function on or o. This behaves like the Solo key command.
Individual channels can be soloed with the SOLO buttons on each channel strip. MIDI or audio
regions can be selected, and soloed, along with the selected channels. Each channel features
an independent SOLO LED, which is lit when a channel strip is soloed. The RUDE SOLO LED—
just to the right of the Position/Time display—is lit when any channel strip is soloed.
Press the SHIFT and SOLO buttons to activate Solo Lock mode.
Use Mackie Control cursor and zoom keys
The ve 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
rst and last page, and the Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons scroll to the rst 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:
m To turn Zoom mode on or o: Press the ZOOM button.
m 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.
