Control Mode: Mackie Control

Overview

The V1-M, P1-M, and P1 Nano can control plug-ins in Logic Pro using Mackie Control. This lets you adjust plug-in parameters directly from your controller, so your hands can stay in the creative flow while you shape your sound.

You can use this method for third-party plug-ins and Logic Pro’s native plugins or Channel EQ.

Control a Plug-in in Logic Pro

1. Select the track in Logic Pro where you want to insert or control the plug-in.
2. Press Plugin twice on your controller.
   This opens the Insert assignment view.
3. Choose the encoder where you want to assign the insert.
4. Select the plug-in.
   You can either:
   • Turn the encoder to scroll through your available plug-ins, or
   • Assign the plug-in directly inside Logic Pro.
5. Press the encoder once you have found the plug-in you want to use.
6. The plug-in parameters will appear on the controller display.
7. Turn the encoders to control the available plug-in parameters.
8. To access more parameters, press the <> Move button.
9. Use the jog wheel to scroll through additional parameter pages.

Control Logic Pro Channel EQ

Logic Pro’s native Channel EQ works in the same way, using the EQ button.

1. Select the track where you want to insert or control Channel EQ.
2. Press EQ twice on your controller.
   This opens the Insert assignment view.
3. Choose the encoder where you want to assign the Channel EQ insert.
4. Select Channel EQ.
   You can either:
   • Turn the encoder to scroll through your plug-ins, or
   • Assign Channel EQ directly inside Logic Pro.
5. Once you find Channel EQ, press the encoder.
6. The Channel EQ parameters will appear on the controller display.
7. Turn the encoders to control the available EQ parameters.
8. To access more EQ parameters, press the <> Move button.
9. Use the jog wheel to scroll through additional parameter pages.

Helpful Notes

• Pressing Plugin twice opens plug-in insert assignment.
• Pressing EQ twice opens EQ insert assignment.
• The selected track in Logic Pro determines which plug-in or EQ you are controlling.
• Use the <> Move button and jog wheel when a plug-in has more parameters than can fit on one page.

Result

You can now control Logic Pro plug-ins and Channel EQ directly from your V1-M, P1-M, or P1 Nano using Mackie Control. This gives you faster access to the sound-shaping tools you use most, with less time reaching for the mouse.
