Preface Introduction 9
Logic Express directly supports a variety of control surfaces, as mentioned, but also
allows you to remap existing assignments for supported control surfaces, or to program
new assignments for unsupported control surfaces. This allows you to extend the use of
faders, knobs, and switches—either directly, or through the use of modifier commands.
You can use any combination of control surfaces with Logic Express. You will get the
most out of them when used in a control surface group. A detailed overview of group,
installation, and other control surface setup parameters is found in “Creating Control
Surface Groups” on page 20.
The best way to learn about using control surfaces is to adopt a hands-on approach—
moving faders, turning knobs, and using the other controls on your device as you read
through the manual. This will help you to get a feel for how your control surface works,
and how the various parts of the control surface interact with Logic Express.
Control Surfaces Supported by Logic Express
Following is an alphabetical listing of control surfaces directly supported by
Logic Express. The list contains cross references to the relevant device-specific sections.
Note: It is possible that your device may be directly supported in Logic Express via one
or more downloadable support files. This is often a driver or plug-in (see “Control
Surface Plug-ins” on page 12) supplied by the manufacturer. Please check the
documentation/discs that came with the device, and the manufacturer’s website.
Follow any written instructions supplied with the files, if available.
Supported Devices Manufacturer Notes
01V96 Yamaha The Yamaha 01V96 emulates two HUI units, using
two virtual MIDI in and out connections over a
USB cable.
See “Yamaha 01V96” on page 211.
01X Yamaha The Yamaha 01X emulates a Mackie Control. It
does not feature all controls available to the
Mackie units, however. Please refer to the 01X
documentation for details.
Logic Express recognizes the 01X as an 01X, and
displays a custom icon, but communication is as
with a Mackie Control unit.
See “Mackie Control” on page 61.
02R96 Yamaha The Yamaha 02R96 emulates three HUI units,
using three virtual MIDI in and out connections
over a USB cable.
See “Yamaha 02R96” on page 219.
Baby HUI Mackie The Baby HUI is a stripped-down version of the
HUI. See “Mackie Baby HUI” on page 147.
