Cursor Keys and Mode Key
In the lower-right corner of UF8 are the Cursor keys with the Zoom key in the centre.
When the Zoom key is lit the cursor keys perform horizontal and vertical zooming.
Pressing the Zoom key again, the up and down and left and right cursor keys are used to navigate
through parameter functions and pages in V-Pot assignment modes (Sends, Plug-ins etc).
The next page of this User Guide provides more information on using the cursor keys in
conjunction with 'Channel View' and 'Mixer View' in Logic's Mackie Control implementation.
Automation
You can select the automation mode for each track directly from UF8. To do this, select a track you want to change the automation
state of using the SEL key(s). Then, press the desired automation mode from the AUTOMATION keys in the lower-left corner of UF8.
Tip: Hold the OPTION modifier (pre-assigned within SOFT KEY User Bank 3 as 'Opt') and then press one of the
AUTOMATION keys to assign all tracks to a particular automation mode.
Quick Keys
The three QUICK keys located at the top-left of UF8 are user-assignable keys that are best used for access
to your most frequent DAW commands or keyboard shortcuts. By default, they are assigned to the following
commands but they can of course be changed in SSL 360°.
Default Quick Key Assignments:
1 - Show/hide Mixer within the Arrange window.
2 - Switch to 'AUX' view mode (one of the 'Global View' modes) - which shows only Aux tracks within the mixer.
3 - Global View Mode On/Off - Enters and exits 'Global View' Mode.
Fine
Press and hold the FINE key whilst turning a V-Pot that is controlling Send Levels for finer control. This key also
functions as the Cmd/Alt modifier, allowing you to access secondary functions on many Mackie Control commands.
Please refer to the Mackie Control section of the Logic Pro Control Surfaces Support User Guide for more info.
