Appendix D: Mackie Control

FADERS: FOLLOW AUX-SENDS FLIP

In the “Sends on Faders” mixer mode, the channel faders control the level of the aux send, not the channel itself. Select “Follow Aux-

Sends Flip” to enable controller faders to follow this behavior. Refer to Mixer > Aux Modes > Sends on Faders for more about using large

faders to control aux sends.

MASTER 1

Use this drop-down window to assign which channel the master fader is controlling. This can be the Main L/R mix or any other channel

or buss in the mixer.

Master 1: Follow Aux-Master Flip

When in the “Sends on Faders” mode, the master fader controls the aux channel. This setting determines if the control surface master

fader exhibits this behavior.

GLOBAL CONTROLS

Mute Groups to Function Select 1–8

Assigns the mute group recall buttons (left side of the Mixer window) to the eight function buttons on the controller (these controls are

not available in some controllers).

USER ASSIGNABLE KEYS TO GLOBAL VIEW CONTROLS

The mixer has eight user-assignable keys that are recalled in the User section of the Mixer windows. This selection assigns these keys

to the controller’s Global View section. Refer to Setup > U/I Settings for information about creating user-assignable keys. (These controls

are not available in some controllers).

JOG WHEEL SELECTED CONTROLS

Assigns any continuous control to the controller’s Jog Wheel. Selected mixer buttons are assigned to the Scrub button next to the Jog

Wheel.

A Mackie Control tablet application can be configured to work with eMotion LV1 over WiFi or USB. Refer to the application’s user guide

to create a MIDI device that will be available in the MIDI device menu. Select this device as you would with any hardware controller.
