3 Mackie Control
You can fully control Logic Express with a Mackie Control, and
can extend its functionality with several expansion devices.
The information in this chapter applies to the Mackie Control Universal, the original
Mackie Control, the Logic Control, and the Mackie (or Logic) Control Extender (XT). The
term “Mackie Control” is used for all of these devices throughout the chapter.
The controls of the Mackie Control are physically grouped into different areas, called
zones. Each zone is clearly labeled, and distinguished by different shades of gray on the
device. The following descriptions of Mackie Control features and functions is
organized by these zones.
Setting Up Your Mackie Control
When you open Logic Express, it automatically detects any powered Mackie Control
unit that is connected to your system. You can use the Mackie Control immediately—
with the default settings—or can customize settings, as described in “Basic Control
Surface Setup on page 15, and in “Customizing Controller Assignments on page 37.
