characters per line (or segment) of the display, you can change the way help tags are
shown. Control surface help tags are similar to Logic Express help tags, showing
additional information during use.
 While editing show long names for: These two checkboxes determine how the names
and values of parameters are displayed on the LCD of the control surface.
 Parameter name checkbox: When turned on, the upper LCD line displays the full
parameter name, rather than an abbreviated form of it, when you edit a parameter,
 Parameter value checkbox: When turned on, the lower LCD line displays the full
parameter value when you edit it. If the “Show value units for parameter” boxes
(see below) are checked, it will be appended by the measurement unit, where
applicable (as examples: “dB,” “Hz,” or “%”).
Note: The following options only have an effect if at least one of the two parameters
described above is active.
 Display Duration slider: Drag to adjust the time that parameter names and values
remain on the LCD display, following selection/adjustments.
 Show info for multiple parameters checkbox: When enabled: the long name info
appears in the display until the most recently edited parameter’s display times out.
This may cause overlapping text. When disabled: the long name display is only
shown for the most recently edited parameter, which can cause (LCD) screen flicker.
 Show info when selecting tracks checkbox: When turned on, “Selected” appears in the
upper row of the LCD, and the selected track name is shown in the lower row, when
you select a track.
 Show info when editing volume checkbox: When turned on, the word “Volume”
appears in the upper row of the LCD, and the edited value appears in the lower row,
when you edit a track’s volume.
