Mackie control button explanation

[Morvejones]

Hi all, I'm currently using a behringer x touch universal and the extender in MCU mode, I have all the buttons mapped to the x-touch , but am unsure what the buttons do. For example above the transport marker , loop, select , punch etc, I'd expect marker to drop a marker, loop to choose loop points etc but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there a document that explains exactly what the buttons do? Thanks

Pressing F1 in the Mackie Control Dialog ( Utilities Menu -> Mackie Control 1 ) will show CbB's Mackie Control help.

It's worth mentioning that the button mapping is different for each DAW, so what is labelled on your x-touch may not match what Cakewalk expects.  For the full-size x-touch, and MCU / MCU Pro, you would normally use an overlay that fits over the buttons to relabel them.

Several companies do them ( check eBay!) - but here's one example:  https://store.birchwoodstudioandevents.com/Sonar-Overlay
