If you are on 2.1.0, I would bet money this is your problem. This is exactly what mine was doing before I updated. The latest version is 2.1.2, here:

To do the update, you have to create a DP project and load the MIDI file from Mackie's website into it - just create a MIDI track and drag the MIDI file from their site to that track in Tracks Overview of Sequence Editor.
Here are the instructions from the Mackie update file:
1. Make sure your controller is plugged into the computer via MIDI and communicating with your preferred audio software application.
2. Disable the Mackie Control/Logic Control as a MIDI controller device in the control surface setup section of your audio software application.
3. Disable MTC, MMC, MIDI Clock, MIDI Metronome, or any other MIDI signals being sent by your DAW.
4. Import the MIDI file you just downloaded from the Mackie web site into your audio software application, and make sure the Mackie Control/Logic Control is the target MIDI device on channel one.
5. Turn off the power of the Mackie Control/Logic Control.
6. Hold down the REC RDY buttons on channels 1 and 2 and the SELECT button on channel 1 as you turn the power on. This will put the Mackie Control/Logic Control into the Boot Loader Mode.
7. Once in the Boot Loader Mode, simply play back the MIDI file in its entirety from your audio software application. While the MIDI file is playing, you should see a series of dots parade across the display. If you do not see the dancing dots, restart at step 1.
8. Once the MIDI file has played through to the end (you'll know when), hit STOP in your audio software application. The controller will restart automatically.
9. Select the desired mode of operation (Mackie Control or Logic Control).
10. Apply the appropriate overlay to the master section ••“ you••™re done.
If you want to change the operating modeat any time, here's what you need to do:
1. Turn off the power of the Mackie Control/Logic Control.
2. Hold down the SELECT buttons on channels 1 and 2 as you turn the power on. This will enter the Mackie Control/Logic Control Mode Selection Dialog on the display.
3. Select the desired mode of operation - Mackie Control or Logic Control (or HUI, if the Mackie Control Universal Upgrade was purchased and installed).
4. Apply the appropriate overlay to the master section ••“ you••™re done.
Once an operating mode has been selected, the controller will continue to boot up into that mode unless you choose to change the mode of operation as described above.
