Mackie Control: TRACK Button
Pressing the TRACK button selects Channel view, and assigns the channel strip controls
to edit channel strip parameters.
• Press the TRACK button once to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips, and
to activate Mixer view.
• Press the TRACK button again to edit multiple parameters for a single channel strip,
and switch to Channel view.
Mixer View
Mixer view allows you to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips: volume, pan,
input format, input assignment, output assignment, or automation mode. When you
switch to Mixer view, the parameter being edited is briefly displayed on the right side of
the main LCD. The mode display shows “tr” (for track), and the upper row of the LCD
shows track names.
Press NAME/VALUE to display parameter values on the lower row of the LCD. These are
shown when you turn a V-Pot, or press its button.
You can manipulate the following controls for editing in Mixer view.
• Turning the V-Pots changes the associated channel strip parameter.
• Pressing the button on a V-Pot sets the parameter to its default value.
• The Cursor Left/Cursor Right buttons switch to the next or previous channel strip
parameter. The selected parameter is displayed briefly in the upper row of the LCD.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
Channel View
Channel view allows you to edit the most important channel strip parameters for a single
channel strip: volume, pan, instrument, Insert slot 1 assignment, Insert slot 2 assignment,
Send 1 level, Send 2 level, and Send 3 level. When you switch to Channel view, the mode
display shows “tr.”, and the upper row of the LCD shows the name of the channel strip.
Press NAME/VALUE to show parameter names in the upper row, and parameter values
