Set Up Button (SET UP)
Press the SET UP button to access utility functions of the ProjectMix I/O like LCD Contrast. The SET UP button will light solid red. After pressing
SET UP, press the SEL key below the function you wish to edit on the LCD, then follow the instructions on the LCD to access parameters and
edit values.
Hold down the SET UP key for one second and the key will blink red. This will turn off the motorized faders on the ProjectMix I/O. Hold down
the SET UP key again for one second to turn the motorized faders back on.
MIDI Button (MIDI)
The MIDI button activates MIDI mode on the ProjectMix I/O and opens the built in MIDI application (see the section of this manual on MIDI
Application). Pressing the MIDI button again puts the ProjectMix I/O back in to DAW Mode.
This application allows you to assign specific MIDI values to buttons and faders on the ProjectMix I/O. This allows you to control stand-alone
software applications as well as external MIDI devices from the ProjectMix I/O control surface. You will be able to toggle the ProjectMix I/O
between MIDI mode and your selected DAW mode by simply pressing the MIDI button.
Lock Button (LOCK)
The LOCK button disengages the transport buttons (RWD, FF, STOP, PLAY and REC). It does not affect the jog wheel. When LOCK is on, the key
will light solid red. If you hold down the LOCK key for one second, the light will blink red and you will be in Fast Encoder mode. This allows
you to change parameter values very quickly with the encoders. Hold down the key again for one second to exit this mode and the light will
go out. Encoders will now adjust parameter values at normal speed. The transports cannot be locked when in Fast Encoder mode.
Loop Button (LOOP)
Activates and deactivates Loop mode.
Nudge Buttons (t NUDGE u)
The NUDGE (t / u) buttons nudge the selected audio region by pre-selected increments. This is useful for aligning regions and correcting
small timing issues.
Locate Buttons (t LOCATE u)
The LOCATE (t / u) buttons move the transport to the previous or next assigned marker. Hold down the t key for one second to go to the
start of the session. Hold down the u key for one second to go to the end of the session.Set Button (SET)
The SET button places a marker at the current point in the time line and opens the marker window so you can name the marker.
In and Out Buttons (IN / OUT)
Press the IN button while in play to capture an in point and as play continues; press the OUT button to capture an out point. This will give you
a captured region that you can edit, loop, etc.
Window Button (WINDOW)
This button toggles between the Mix and Edit screens.
Zoom Button (ZOOM) and Arrow Buttons (t, p, u, q)
The ZOOM button has two modes in working with the arrow buttons. When ZOOM button LED is blinking, hold down the left arrow button (t)
and turn the jog wheel to select audio left of the cursor - hold down the right arrow button (u) and turn the jog wheel to select audio right of
the cursor. This is yet another way of capturing a region.
When the ZOOM button LED is lit solid, the arrow buttons are used to change the view of the edit screen. The left arrow button (t) decreases
the horizontal view, the right arrow button (u) increases the horizontal view. The up arrow button (p) increases vertical zoom and the up
down button (q) decreases vertical zoom.
The following is true regardless of the Zoom mode: Hold down the ALT button and press the left arrow button (t) to bring the cursor to the
start of the session, or hold down ALT and press the right arrow button (u) to bring the cursor to the end of the session.
Jog Wheel in Scrub Mode
The ProjectMix I/O jog wheel supports Pro Tools positional scrubbing.
To enable Scrub mode:
• Make sure playback in Pro Tools is stopped.
• Press the SCRUB button on ProjectMix I/O.
• Rotate the jog wheel clockwise to scrub forward and counterclockwise to scrub backward.
The start position for scrubbing is the current selection start point, or current cursor position if there is no selection.
Normal scrub resolution is dependent on the current zoom level. To get a fixed "fine scrub" resolution regardless of current zoom level, press
ALT while scrubbing.
