Footswitches (not shown)
The Mackie Control has two switched inputs (labeled User Switch A and User Switch B) that you can use to
connect footswitches.
By default, footswitch A toggles playback, and footswitch B starts and stops recording.
You can customize the footswitches in the Configure Mackie Control dialog. Double-click Mackie Control
in the Active control devices list on the External Control & Automation tab of the Preferences dialog to
display the Configure Mackie Control dialog.
