40 Chapter 6 Control Surface Support
 All buttons (push buttons, including Enter/default and Cancel, as well as checkboxes
and radio buttons, but not pop-up buttons) are shown in the display’s lower row (if
applicable to the device). Pressing a control surface button below the display triggers
the appropriate button/function in the dialog, where relevant.
Following use of the Enter/Cancel button on the control surface (or with the mouse),
the dialog will disappear, and all controls and displays will return to their previous
state/mode.
Mackie Control Mode Support
Logic Control, Logic Control XT, Mackie Control Universal and Mackie Control Extender
(all with firmware version 1.02 or higher) units no longer need to be switched to Logic
Control mode, to be recognized by Logic.
If you use software that requires Mackie Control mode:
1 Switch to Mackie Control mode. (Details can be found in your control surface
documentation).
2 Delete the Logic Control control surface in the Control Surfaces Setup window.
3 Turn on the power for your control surface. It will automatically be installed as a Mackie
Control. The functionality of both modes (Mackie/Logic Control) is identical.
Note: If you don’t use software that requires Mackie Control mode, there’s no need to
change anything.
Controller Assignments Editor Enhancements
The Easy View of the Controller Assignment window has been simplified. The Control
Name field has been removed, because Easy View is generally used for unsupported
control surfaces—such as the controllers on your master keyboard or other fader
boxes.
The Track parameter allows you to choose between selected (which is the default, if
creating assignments on the selected track) or a fixed track number (if you want to set
up your controls as a mixer surface).
The Learn Message button has been renamed to Learn Mode (because you can create
multiple assignments while it’s enabled).
Assignments created for a specific plug-in are only active if the plug-in is present on
the specified track. This enables you to use the same controller messages for different
plug-ins—to control the cutoff frequency of ES1, ES2, or EXS24 via the same knob, for
example—depending on which software instrument is inserted in the selected track.
Your assignments are stored as preferences, making them available in all songs.
