M-Audio ProjectMix I/O User Manual page 23

Meter Button (MTR)
This key will activate the ProjectMix I/O channel meters, which show up as horizontal bar meters in the LCD display.
Flip Button (FLIP)
Pressing the FLIP button will switch the parameter assignment between the faders and the encoders (i.e., the parameter assigned to the
encoder is now controlled by the fader, and vice-versa). As the faders are touch-sensitive and the encoders are not, assigning the encoder
functions to the faders allows you to write smoother automation to these values.
Channel Information Button (CHAN INFO)
Displays numeric values of parameters rather then graphic values.
Set Up Button (SET UP): ProjectMix I/O Internal Functions
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)
Pressing this button toggles the ProjectMix I/O into MIDI mode. A MIDI application comes with the ProjectMix I/O. When in MIDI mode, the
ProjectMix I/O controls this application. Pressing this key again puts the ProjectMix I/O back in to DAW mode. For more information, see the
section of the manual on MIDI Application.
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 Button (NUDGE):
The NUDGE keys function the same as the + and – buttons in the middle of the Shuttle/Jog icon in the Cubase transport bar. These allow
you to nudge the project cursor position to the right or left, respectively. Each time you click a nudge button, the project cursor is moved by
one frame.
Locate Buttons (tLOCATEu)
The tLOCATEu buttons move the transport to the previous or next assigned marker.
Set Button (SET):
Pressing the SET button will place a marker at the transport's current location.
In Button (IN): Jump to In Marker
Moves the transport to the Punch In marker.
Shift Button Plus In Button (SHIFT + IN): Sets In Marker
Holding the SHIFT button and pressing the IN button sets the Punch In marker to the transport's current location.
Out Button (OUT): Jump to Out Marker
Moves the transport to the Punch Out marker.
Shift Button Plus Out Button (SHIFT + OUT): Sets Out Marker
Holding the SHIFT button and pressing the OUT button sets the Punch Out marker to the transport's current location.
