Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments 57
Feedback Pop-up Menu
Choose the display format for the parameters current value (on the control surface
display). The choices are:
 None: No feedback is sent.
 Single Dot/Line: LED rings: only one LED; LCDs: a single vertical line.
 Left to Right Bar: A bar from the minimum to the current value.
 Bar from Center: A bar from the center position to the current value.
 Right to Left Bar: A bar from the current to the maximum value.
 Q/Spread: Two equal bars from the center to the current value.
 Ascending Bar: A bar from the bottom to the current value.
 Descending Bar: A bar from the top to the current value.
 Text Only: LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphic element.
 Automatic: Dependent on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable
feedback mode is used: The integrated plug-in and instrument parameters contain
this information, Pan uses Single Dot/Line, all other parameters use Left to Right Bar.
Note: Feedback only works for supported control surfaces, and not all settings are
available for all controls.
Text Feedback Checkbox
When selected, a text representation of the current value is sent to the control surface
display. The control surface display facilities determine the positioning and number of
characters that are used.
Local Feedback (Fader/Knob) Checkbox
When selected, no feedback is sent while the parameter is in Touched mode. This
prevents motorized faders from “fighting you when you move them.
Key Repeat Checkbox
When selected, the assignment is repeatedly executed. The Key Repeat Rate slider—set
in the Mac OS X Keyboard & Mouse preferences—determines how quickly
Logic Express repeats the assignment. The duration that the button/controller must be
held for, before the assignment is repeated, is set with the Delay Until Repeat slider in
the Keyboard & Mouse preferences.
Example: This facility is particularly useful for the zoom function: If you assign a key
repeat command to the Zoom buttons on the Mackie Control, you can simply hold
down the Zoom In button. Logic Express will zoom in until the Zoom In button is
released. This mirrors the behavior of the Zoom key commands. The alternative would
be repeated presses of the (Mackie Control) Zoom buttons to zoom in/out more than
one level.
