Automating the Bypass Status
Logic Express 7.2 allows you to toggle the bypass status of Audio Object Insert slots
with a single controller value: namely controller value 64.
The addition of this feature results in the following behaviors for controllers 56 to 60:
 A value of 0 switches bypass off.
 Values 1 to 63 and 65 to 127 switch bypass on.
 Repeated use of value 64 switches between the two bypass states.
This facility allows you to switch the bypass state of Insert slots 1 to 5 with a single
button, assigned to controllers 56 to 60, sending a value of 64. (Earlier versions required
that two different values be sent; one to activate, and one to deactivate, the bypass
status.) The following table lists the controller number used to switch the Bypass status
of the corresponding Insert slot.
This feature may prove particularly useful if you use a control surface that doesn’t
provide feedback. Imagine the following situation: you press the button on your
control surface, sending a value that switches the bypass status of an Insert slot to off.
The bypass status for this Insert is reactivated (turned to on, with the mouse) in Logic.
Your control surface will not reflect this change, if it doesn’t support feedback, leading
to nothing happening when pressing the appropriate button on your control surface.
This new facility allows you to use one button to toggle the bypass status—regardless
of state (bypass on/off).
Note: This facility also applies to the Mute and Solo buttons: If controller 9 sends a
value of 64, the Mute button status is switched, if controller 3 sends a value of 64, the
status of the Solo button is set to on/off—dependent on the current Solo status.
Support of Stereo ReWire Objects
Logic Express 7.2 supports stereo ReWire Objects. This allows you to assign ReWire
stereo streams to a single Audio Object and configure the Audio Object as stereo.
