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

mode of using the SEL key. Then, press the desired automation mode from the AUTOMATION keys in the lower-left corner of UF8.

Press READ or WRITE again to toggle on/off.

Note that READ and WRITE are the only automation keys that apply to Cubase, so all other keys in this section are disabled when

using Cubase.

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 Mix Console Window.

2 - Show/hide Edit Window.

3 - Solo Defeat - clears any solos.

Fine / Shift Key

The key labelled FINE / SHIFT is programmed to execute Cubase's MCU SHIFT command (ignore the 'FINE'

text). This command, when used in combination with other MCU functions or V-Pot assignment modes, provides

access to alternative/additional functionality.

Please refer to the Mackie MCU Pro section of the Cubase Remote Control Devices PDF for more information.

STEP 1: Select a track using SEL key STEP 2: Select the desired automation state.
