Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments 59
Assigning Buttons to Key Commands
In addition to assigning controllers to parameters, you can assign control surface
buttons—and button or key release messages—to key commands.
To assign a control surface button to a key command:
1 Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Key Commands to open the Key Commands
window.
2 In the Command list, click the disclosure triangle next to the desired category. This
reveals the commands in the category, allowing you to select the key command you
want to assign. You can also search for the desired key command in the Search field.
3 Click the Learn New Assignment button.
4 Press the (control surface) button that you want to assign to the key command. This
sends a MIDI message to Logic Express.
The name of the controller appears in the Assignments field.
5 You can repeat steps 2 to 4 to make additional assignments, if desired.
6 When you are finished, click the Close button to exit the window.
