ActionControl
Switches to Surround Angle/Diversity Mixer view.
• The mode display shows “Ad” (Angle/Diversity).
• The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
• The lower LCD row shows the surround angle currently assigned
to each channel strip.
• Turning a V-Pot changes the surround angle (or adjusts pan
position on non-surround channel strips).
• Pressing a V-Pot sets the surround angle to its default value.
• The faders edit surround diversity.
V-Pot 7 or F6
Switches to Surround X/Y Mixer view.
• The mode display shows “XY”.
• The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
• The lower LCD row shows the surround X value currently assigned
to each channel strip.
• Turning a V-Pot changes the surround X value (or adjusts pan
position on non-surround channel strips).
• Pressing a V-Pot sets surround X to its default value.
• The faders edit surround Y.
V-Pot 8 or F7
Note: X and Y have a value range of –1000 to +1000, but the resolution is not that high,
as surround positions are currently recorded as 7-bit data.
Note: The X and Y parameters are limited to a rectangular coordinate system. As such,
value pairs outside the surround circle are not possible. If you try to set a Y value that is
invalid, the X coordinate is automatically adjusted to a valid position, and vice versa. As
an example, moving Y to +1000 will result in an X coordinate value of 0.
When only one coordinate value is edited, the other coordinate value defaults to the
setting of the most recently selected channel strip. This helps you to create linear
movements.
Mackie Control: EQ Button
Pressing the EQ button activates EQ Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly switches
between EQ Mixer view and EQ Channel view.
Note: If no Channel or Linear Phase EQ is present on the selected channel strip, a Channel
EQ is inserted automatically when you enter EQ Channel view.
EQ Mixer View
EQ Mixer view allows you to edit one equalizer parameter for all channel strips: Frequency,
Gain, Q, or EQ bypass. The EQ band number, and parameter being edited, are displayed
briefly when you switch to this mode.
• The mode display shows E1 to E8, indicating the selected EQ band.
• The upper LCD row shows channel strip names.
