40 Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments
Assigning a Series of Controllers
Logic Express includes a shortcut that makes it easy to assign a series of controllers to a
series of similar parameters. You can use this shortcut to assign a series of faders to
volume, or to assign a series of knobs to other channel strip parameters such as; pan,
solo, or mute. You can even assign a series of controllers to a set of plug-in parameters.
To assign a series of controllers to a series of parameters:
1 Following the standard assignment procedure, assign the first controller in the series to
the first parameter (assign fader 1 to control volume for channel strip 1, for example).
2 Assign the last controller in the series to the last parameter (assign fader 16 to control
volume for channel strip 16, for example). The number of controllers between the first
and last in the series must match the number of parameters between the first and last
parameter.
A “Do you want to fill up in between?” dialog is shown.
The dialog appears when the distance between the last two controllers matches the
distance between tracks (or the number of parameters between the last two assigned,
if dealing with plug-in parameters). In the above examples, the distance between 1 and
16 would equal 15.
3 Click OK to automatically fill the controllers between the first and last—with the
corresponding assignments.
Parameter assignment numbering (for plug-ins) is shown in the Plug-in window’s
Control view.
Note: You can only use shortcuts for knobs that send a single channel message, where
the first data byte is the controller number, and the second data byte is the value.
Alternatively, the controller number can be encoded in the MIDI channel, with a fixed
first data byte. Consult the documentation that came with your device for information
on its data structure.
