CANCEL Button
When an alert appears on your computer screen, you can cancel (or abort) it by pressing
the CANCEL button. For information about alerts, see Modal Dialog Display.
Pressing the CANCEL button when no alert is visible onscreen does the following:
• Opens the Toolbox at the current onscreen position of the pointer.
• Alternately, it will perform any function currently assigned to the computer keyboard’s
Esc (Escape) key.
• If the Mackie Control is currently showing the contents of a folder track, pressing the
CANCEL button exits the folder.
• The CANCEL button also lets you invalidate a (blinking) parameter value preselection.
ENTER Button
When an alert appears on your computer screen, pressing the ENTER button activates
the default button in the alert. For information about alerts, see Modal Dialog Display.
If there is no alert onscreen, and the selected track is a folder track, pressing the ENTER
button opens the folder.
Mackie Control: Transport Zone
The Transport zone features five buttons for the standard transport functions (Rewind,
Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and Record).
The Transport zone also incorporates seven small, circular buttons for different recording
and playback modes.
You can use these buttons independently, or in conjunction with one another, to navigate
and edit your projects. Each button has a dedicated LED that indicates its current status.
Mackie Control: REWIND Button
The REWIND button lets you rewind through your project. Pressing the REWIND button
repeatedly while rewinding accelerates the rewind speed. Pressing the FAST FWD button
repeatedly while rewinding slows down, stops, and eventually reverses the shuttle
direction. Pressing the STOP button halts the rewind process at the current playhead
position. Turning the Jog/Scrub Wheel also exits rewind shuttle mode.
When one of the Marker modes is activated, pressing the REWIND button moves the
playhead to the previous marker.
When one of the Nudge modes is activated, the REWIND button moves the selected
regions or events backward by the value defined in Large Nudge mode.
