Press the SHIFT and CLICK buttons to activate or deactivate both External Sync mode and
transmission of MMC.
The SOLO button behaves as per the Solo key command. Individual channels can be
soloed with the SOLO buttons on each channel strip. MIDI or audio regions can be selected,
and soloed, along with the selected channels. Each channel features an independent
SOLO LED, which is lit when a channel strip is soloed. The RUDE SOLO LED—just to the
right of the Position/Time display—is lit whenever any channel strip is soloed.
Press the SHIFT and SOLO buttons to activate Solo Lock mode.
Mackie Control: Cursor Key Zone
This zone contains five buttons, located to the left of the Jog/Shuttle Wheel, which serve
a number of purposes. The four cursor buttons—Up, Down, Left, and Right—encircle the
central ZOOM button.
Mackie Control: Normal Operation
When the ZOOM button is not active (its LED is unlit), the four cursor buttons select the
current parameter, shift the current parameter page or Send/EQ/Insert slot, depending
on the current V-Pot assignment.
When the OPTION button is held down, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons scroll
to the first and last page, and the Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons scroll to the first
and last slot.
When the CMD/ALT button is held down, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons shift
the parameter display by one parameter, rather than one page.
In view modes that don’t require page or slot shifts, the cursor buttons emulate the
computer keyboard’s arrow keys. As an example, the left and right buttons select channel
strips when in Mixer view.
In Large and Temporary Nudge modes, the Cursor Left and Cursor Right buttons emulate
the computer keyboard’s arrow keys, allowing easy region or event selection.
Mackie Control: Zoom Mode
Pressing the ZOOM button activates Zoom mode. The cursor buttons are then used to
change the vertical or horizontal zoom factor of the window with key focus.
In the Arrange window:
• OPTION and Cursor Up or Cursor Down changes the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Cursor Left resets the zoom factor of the selected track.
• OPTION and Cursor Right resets the zoom factor of all tracks of the same class (audio,
MIDI, and so on) as the selected track.
