Overview of Mackie Control displays in Logic Pro

The displays are located along the top of the Mackie Control. Each shows different information.

Displays

  • Main Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): The main LCD is divided into eight columns, each with two lines of text. Each column displays information for the channel strip controls directly below it. The information displayed changes when you edit different parameters and when Mixer view or Channel view is active. In general, the upper row of each column displays the abbreviated track (or channel) name, and the lower row displays the abbreviated parameter name and its value.

    In some modes, a long parameter name (or other text) appears briefly onscreen while you are moving the corresponding control. You can set the display and duration of long parameter names in Control Surfaces settings. For information on editing settings, see the Logic Pro User Guide.

    Note: On the LCD, 8-bit ASCII characters such as curly quotes and umlauts are replaced with the best-possible 7-bit ASCII equivalent.

  • Assignment display: The Assignment display (also referred to as the mode display), to the right of the main LCD, shows a two-digit abbreviation for the current assignment state. A period (.) appears at the bottom-right corner of the display when Channel view is active.

  • Time display: The Time display, to the right of the Assignment display, shows the current playhead position, either in musical time divisions (BEATS) or in SMPTE timecode format (SMPTE). A small LED to the left of the display indicates the current display format.

    • When the format is set to Beats, the four segments of the Time display show the current playhead position as bars, beats, beat subdivisions, and ticks.

    • When the format is set to SMPTE, the four segments of the Time display show the current playhead position as hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

    Press the SMPTE/BEATS button to switch between formats. You can also set the default format with the Clock Display parameter in the Control Surfaces Setup window. See the Logic Pro User Guide.

  • Solo LED: The Solo LED (Rude Solo on the Mackie Control) is lit when a channel strip is set to solo or when Solo mode is turned on. It is a helpful reminder in situations where you have soloed a channel strip, then switched the fader bank, resulting in the Solo LED of the soloed channel strip being hidden on the control surface.
