9. V-POT ASSIGN
These six buttons are used to assign different
functions to the V-Pots. These usually include Pan,
Aux Send, EQ, Plug-In Effects, and Track level.
10. BANKS and CHANNELS
Pressing the left or right BANK button jumps
over to the next adjacent eight channels on either
the left or right side of the current location.
• If one or more Mackie Control Extenders are
present, the BANK buttons jump over by 8
times the number of devices present. For ex-
ample, if two Mackie Control Extenders are
present in addition to the Mackie Control, the
BANK buttons will jump 8 x 3 or 24 channels
at a time.
• Pressing the left or right CHANNEL button
jumps over to the next adjacent channel on ei-
ther the left or right side of the current location.
11. Function Select
The function of these buttons vary, depending
on the DAW application you are using. Place the
overlay for your particular DAW application over
this section to provide the correct labeling for
these buttons, and refer to the documentation for
the DAW application that describes how it oper-
ates with Mackie Control.

These standard transport control buttons are
fairly universal in their operation: Rewind, Fast
Forward, Stop, Play, and Record.

Use the button to toggle between Jog and Shut-
tle functions for the large wheel. Use the wheel for
editing audio in your DAW application.
