Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup 21
To use two control surfaces independently:
1 Open the Control Surfaces Setup window by choosing Logic Express > Preferences >
Control Surfaces > Setup.
2 In the Setup window, arrange the icons for the control surfaces in separate rows—that
is, one above the other.
Pictured below is an example with two Mackie Controls, three Mackie Control XTs, and
one HUI:
The top row, consisting of the Mackie Control #1, Mackie Control XT #1, and Mackie
Control XT #2 forms a single control surface group with 24 channels. Mackie Control #1
controls channels 1 to 8, XT #1 controls channels 9 to 16, and XT #2 handles channels
17 to 24.
In the second row, the Mackie Control #2 and Mackie Control XT #3 form a second
control surface group—controlling instruments (on channels 1 to 8) and auxes (on
channels 9 to 16).
In the third row, the HUI forms a single unit control surface group.
Each group has individual settings, such as Flip Mode, Display Mode, Plug-in Parameter
Bank Offset and others. This allows you to access, edit, and automate different sections
of the Logic Express Mixer.
