Mackie Control: Computer Arrow Key Emulation
To use the cursor buttons as a replacement for the computer keyboard arrow keys, hold
down the SHIFT button.
When SHIFT and ZOOM are pressed, the cursor buttons enter Permanent Cursor Key
mode—they mimic the computer arrow keys without the need to hold down the SHIFT
button. The ZOOM button LED flashes when in this mode.
You can deactivate this mode by pressing the ZOOM button.
Mackie Control: Jog/Scrub Wheel Zone
The Jog/Scrub Wheel and SCRUB button can be used to navigate through the project,
which is useful for a number of transport tasks. Simply turn the dial to use it. The following
Scrub modes change the behavior of the Jog/Scrub Wheel.
• Scrub mode off: The Jog/Scrub Wheel moves the playhead.
• Scrub mode on: The Jog/Scrub Wheel performs scrubbing, which allows you to hear
the data of the selected (or soloed) tracks while scrolling or moving through the project.
Audio tracks are normally played back at their original speed. If you would rather hear
them at double speed, choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Drivers, and set
Maximum Scrub Speed to Double in the pop-up menu.
Note: You can also use the SCRUB button for Pause functionality.
• SHUTTLE mode: The Jog/Scrub Wheel shuttles the playhead—turning it increases or
decreases the speed at which the playhead moves. The SCRUB button LED flashes when
in Shuttle mode.
Mackie Control: Programmable User Modes
The Mackie Control provides six programmable user modes, which you can use for your
own assignments. You can activate each of these modes by holding down the SHIFT
button along with one of the Assignment buttons, as follows:
• TRACK + SHIFT = User mode 1.
• PAN/SURROUND + SHIFT = User mode 2.
• EQ + SHIFT = User mode 3.
• SEND + SHIFT = User mode 4.
• PLUG-IN + SHIFT = User mode 5.
• INSTRUMENT + SHIFT = User mode 6.
The Assignment displays shows the users modes as u1, u2, and so on.
