Plug-in Channel View
This mode shows the plug-ins associated with all Insert slots for the selected channel.
• The mode display shows the text “PL.”
• The upper LCD row shows Ins1Pl through Ins8Pl.
• The lower LCD row shows the plug-in that is currently selected for this Insert slot. Muted
plug-ins are indicated by an asterisk (*), which precedes the plug-in name.
• Turning the V-Pots preselects a new plug-in. The plug-in name flashes until activated.
• Turning another channel’s V-Pot cancels any previous preselection and starts
preselection on the newly selected channel strip.
• Pressing a V-Pot button:
• Activates the preselected plug-in (assuming that you’ve made your preselection by
turning the V-Pot).
• Opens a plug-in window if none is opened. (If a plug-in window is open and Link
mode is turned on, the selection of another plug-in replaces the existing plug-in.)
• Switches to Plug-in Edit view.
• Pressing a V-Pot button while the SHIFT button is held down mutes/unmutes the
plug-in.
To remove a plug-in
µ
Preselect the “--” value (by turning the V-Pot fully counterclockwise), then press the V-Pot
linked to the appropriate Insert slot.
The Mackie Control does not switch to Plug-in Edit view, and no plug-in window opens.
If one was previously opened, it closes (if Link mode is inactive).
Plug-in Edit View
You can view and edit plug-in parameters in this mode.
• The mode display shows P1. to P8., indicating the number of the selected plug-in Insert
slot.
• Depending on the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD display changes between the two
modes in the following ways:
• Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip’s name, insert number, plug-in
name, current parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD
row shows the name of the parameter, which can be edited via the corresponding
V-Pot (the one below the parameter name).
• Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter which can be edited
via the corresponding V-Pot. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the
parameter. If there is sufficient onscreen space, the unit type will be added; for
example, Hz or dB.
