hardware is indicated by bold text, in all-caps (SHIFT).
SHIFT and SHIFT Lock
The Shift key on Artist Series units is used in conjunction with other keys to access secondary func-
tions that are labeled in blue above the primary function. Two Shift keys are located at the bottom-
left and -right on both MC Control and MC Mix. MC Transport provides a single Shift key at the bot-
