44 Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments
Assigning Controllers in Expert View
Expert view allows you to assign controllers as you would in Easy view—using the
Learn process. You can also (manually) assign controllers to Logic Express parameter
classes that are not accessible in Easy view.
To assign a controller to a non channel strip or plug-in parameter:
1 Open the Controller Assignments window in Expert view.
2 Choose the desired zone and/or mode (unless you want to make a modeless
assignment), and click the plus button at the lower-left corner of the Control/Parameter
list.
A new, blank assignment appears in the Control/Parameter list.
3 Click the Learn Mode button to start the Learn process.
4 Move the controller that you want to assign (to the selected parameter).
Moving the controller sends a MIDI message to Logic Express (thus “teaching”
Logic Express which controller you are assigning). The MIDI message appears in the
Input message field. The Learn Mode button remains active, allowing you to make
further assignments.
5 Once Logic Express has received the message, choose the class of parameter you want
to assign from the Class pop-up menu.
6 Assign the parameter by making appropriate choices in the menus and fields that
appear below the Class menu.
Note: A detailed explanation of classes and other assignment parameters can be found
in “Editing Controller Assignments in Expert View” on page 47.
7 When you are finished, click the Learn Mode button (or press Command-L) to complete
the Learn process.
You can use the shortcut—described in “Assigning a Series of Controllers” on
page 40—to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
To delete an assignment in Expert view:
1 Select the assignment that you want to delete in the Control/Parameter list.
2 Choose Edit > Delete in the main menu bar (or press the Backspace key).
