This makes the display switch to showing parameter values. Click the
N
ame/Value button again to go back to parameter names.
• The parameter values are also indicated by the LED
rings around the V-Pots.
About parameter sub-groups
Most of the settings are structured in the following way: a
parameter group (accessed by pressing a button in the
Assignment or Action Keys sections) contains one or sev-
eral pages, each holding one or several parameters.
However, in the case of send effects, master effects, in-
struments (Global mode) and inserts (Selected Channel
mode), there is one more hierarchical level, called a pa-
rameter sub-group. For example, the parameters for mas-
ter effects are structured in the following way:
The “Master Effects” parameter group contains eight sub-
groups – one for each insert effect slot in Cubase. Each
sub-group contains a number of pages which contain a
number of parameters (both numbers depending on the
activated effects).
• To select another parameter sub-group, go to the first
page of the current sub-group and use V-Pot 1.
The figure below shows the first page of the first parameter sub-group in
the Master Effects group.
About the symbols used in this
chapter
On the following pages, all the different parameter groups
are described. The parameter groups are divided accord-
ing to the three modes, Selected Channel, Fader Set and
Global.
For quick navigation in this manual, an icon at the top of
each manual page shows to which mode it belongs:
This icon indicates the “vertical” Selected Channel mode.
This icon indicates the “horizontal” Fader Set mode.
This icon indicates Global mode.
When a group of parameters has more than one page of
parameters in the Mackie Control display, this is indicated
by the following symbol:
This corresponds to the I/O and Sends buttons in the
Assignment section of Mackie Control.
For example, in the picture below, you would use the I/O
and Sends buttons to switch between the “Level” and the
“Enable” parameter pages:
This indicates Master Effect slot 1. Use V-Pot 1 to select an-
other parameter sub-group (i.e. another Master Effect slot).
