28 Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup
 Insert Slot (Split Lower): Sets the current Insert slot number for Split Lower when
selecting or editing a plug-in (when split mode is enabled).
 Plug-in Parameter Page: Defines which parameter is assigned to the left-most
encoder when editing a plug-in. The next plug-in parameter is assigned to encoder
2, and so on. This applies to Split Upper when split mode is enabled.
Note: The plug-in and instrument page parameters are kept separate, as this allows
you to quickly switch between editing an instrument and an effect plug-in on a
channel, without having to adjust the parameter page every time.
 Plug-in Param Page (Split Lower): Defines which parameter is assigned to the left-
most encoder of Split Lower when editing a plug-in (with split mode enabled). The
next plug-in parameter is assigned to encoder 2, and so on.
 Track: Defines which track is displayed for Channel Strip views. When split mode is
enabled, this applies to Split Upper.
 Track (Split Lower): Sets which track is displayed (in the Split Lower section of the
control surface) for Channel Strip Views, when split mode is enabled.
 Track Lock: Determines how the control surface responds when a track is selected in
Logic Express (in essence, this remotely affects the Track and Track (Split Lower)
parameters). When set to On, the control surface group continues to display the
same track, independent of the currently selected track in Logic Express. When set to
Off, the control surface group automatically switches to the selected track, whenever
a track is selected in Logic Express.
Other Parameters
The parameters at the bottom of the Control Surface Group Parameter box let you set
the Track Name Format, Parameter Page Shift Mode, Relative Change Mode, Mix Group,
and Group Parameter Page parameters.
 Track Name Format: Determines whether the track name display only shows the
track name, or the track name and number.
 Parameter Page Shift Mode: Determines whether the parameter is shifted by one
page or by one parameter.
 Relative Change Mode pop-up menu: Choose the mode for controller assignments
that support a relative value change mode (rotary encoders, for example). The
choices are:
 Coarse: The parameter is adjusted in coarse steps.
 Full: Turning the encoder to the right sets the maximum value. Turning it to the left
sets the minimum value. The encoder also stops at its default value. As an example,
when the Pan knob is left of center, turning the encoder to the right initially sets
the Pan parameter to center (its default value). A further turn to the right sets the
Pan to full right (its maximum value).
