Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup 19
Some control surfaces don’t support automatic scanning. Such devices must be added
manually to your setup. When you add a device manually, you also need to assign the
appropriate MIDI In and Out port parameters.
Note: It is preferable to install devices by scanning, whenever possible. Logic Express is
able to gather more information about devices through scanning, than via manual
installation.
To add a control surface manually:
1 Open the Control Surfaces Setup window by choosing Logic Express > Preferences >
Control Surfaces > Setup.
2 In the Setup window, choose New > Install, and select the desired device from the list.
3 Click the Add button.
4 Close the Install window when you’ve finished.
If another control surface of the selected type already exists in your setup, a warning
dialog will ask you to confirm the addition of the new device.
You need to manually alter the MIDI In and Out port values—in the Device Parameter
box of the Setup window—to match those of the connected unit.
Rebuilding Defaults
You can re-initialize the support of all connected control surfaces by choosing
Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Rebuild Defaults.
