The Multi button on the front panel of the Mbox
Pro can be assigned to easily execute several func-
tions in Pro Tools including (but not limited to):
• Add Track
• Start/Stop Record
• Tap Tempo
• Locating to Next/Previous Marker
• Save Session
You can use the Multi button to do these and other
common tasks with a single button instead of using
on-screen menu commands. By pressing the Multi
button two different ways (Press and Release,

with one button.
