If Group Edit mode is off, holding down the GROUP button and pressing one or more
SELECT buttons allows you to create a new group.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group,
opens the Group window, and activates Group Edit mode.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the TRACK button switches to Mixer
view, with the channel strip group parameter shown. It displays the group that the selected
channel strip belongs to. Multiple group membership is displayed as in the Mixer window.
Turning a V-Pot changes group membership.
Note: You can only select one group (or Off) with this function.
Mackie Control: Utilities Buttons
The four Utilities buttons activate common Logic Pro functions: Save, Undo, Cancel, and
Enter.
SAVE Button
Press the SAVE button to save the current project file. The first time you save a project,
a Save dialog appears on your computer screen. Enter a name and location for the file,
then click the Save button in the dialog.
The main LCD displays this message: “There is a file select dialog on the screen.” The
Position/Time display shows “ALERT.” All LEDs are unlit. Once the Save operation has
been confirmed in Logic Pro, the Mackie Control returns all controls to their previous
state (before you pressed the SAVE button).
Once you have named a project and saved it, further presses of the SAVE button store
the current project state without presenting a Save dialog onscreen, or showing any alerts
on the LCD. This allows you to quickly save incremental changes you make as your project
develops.
The SAVE LED is illuminated as soon as you make (saveable) changes to your project.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing SAVE opens the Save As dialog on the
computer screen. This allows you to rename a project, or save it in a different location.
UNDO Button
Pressing the UNDO button undoes the last undoable action. As Logic Pro supports a
nearly unlimited number of undo/redo steps, the green UNDO LED illuminates to indicate
that Redo is available, not to indicate an undoable step. The LCD provides a warning that
performing a reversible editing step will render all Redo steps unavailable.
Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing UNDO performs a Redo.
Holding down the OPTION button while pressing UNDO opens the Undo History window.
