20 Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup
Creating Control Surface Groups
If you have multiple control surface units in your system, you can define how they
relate to each other, and create control surface groups. A control surface group consists
of multiple devices that you combine to create a single, unified virtual control surface.
You can create up to 20 control surface groups. Each group can consist of any number
of physical devices. The only limiting factor is the number of available MIDI in and out
ports (or USB/FireWire “MIDI” ports, if you are using a USB or FireWire control surface).
You can independently determine the default behavior of each device in a group. For
more information, see the Device Parameters (p. 23) section.
To create a control surface group:
1 Open the Control Surfaces Setup window by choosing Logic Express > Preferences >
Control Surfaces > Setup.
2 In the Setup window, drag the icons of the control surfaces you want to group, so that
they form a single horizontal row.
The order of the icons from left to right defines the order in which tracks and
parameters are arranged on the devices.
