Zoom Button (ZOOM)
When the ZOOM button is lit, the keys are used to change the view of the edit screen. The left arrow decreases the horizontal view, the right
arrow increases the horizontal view, the up arrow increases vertical zoom and the down arrow decreases vertical zoom.
Scrub Button (SCRUB)
Pressing the SCRUB button will allow the jog wheel to scrub the currently selected audio part. If the button is off, the wheel is used to quickly
move the cursor to different points in the timeline.
Logic Mode
To enter Logic mode
: Hold down the AUX 3 button while powering on the unit. The mode will be confirmed in the LCD display when the
ProjectMix I/O has initialized.
NOTE
: If you have not yet already done so, launch Logic and select the Audio Hardware and Drivers in the Audio Menu. Select ProjectMix
Multichannel as your primary driver. You will need to re-launch Logic after this has completed.
Setup
: Once Logic is launched, the program will automatically detect the ProjectMix I/O, seeing it as a Mackie Control. Go to Preferences >
Control Surface > Setup. Double click on the image of the Mackie Control. In the left column set both OUT PORT and INPUT to CONTROL. The
LCD display will indicate the tracks 1 through 8 as they appear in the arrange window of your currently loaded song.
Please note that this section does not cover the functions that are obvious and covered elsewhere in this manual, such as channel faders,
MUTE, SOLO, SEL, REC and transport buttons.

Aux 1 Button (AUX 1): Track Functions
Track Assignment Modes
The AUX 1 button selects Assignment modes, which allow the editing of a number of global track parameters. Pressing the AUX button
again toggles between all displayed channels and the individual parameters of the selected channel (Track Multi Channel view or Track
Channel Strip view).
The parameters in Track Multi Channel view include: Volume, Pan, Track Mode, Track Input, Track Output and Automation. In Track
Channel Strip view, you get an overview of the most important track parameters: Volume, Pan, Instrument, Insert 1, Insert 2, Send 1
Level, Send 2 Level and Send 3 Level.
Multi Channel View
Track Multi Channel view allows you to edit a single global track parameter for all tracks: Volume, Pan, Track Mode, Input, Output or
Automation. The parameter being edited will be displayed briefly when switching to this mode.
