Preface An Introduction to Control Surfaces You can use hardware control surfaces to control and automate transport, mixing, recording, and other tasks in Logic Express. All Logic mixer controls, such as level and pan, can be adjusted onscreen—using your mouse and computer keyboard. This is not, however, an ideal method for precise real-time control. You can enhance your creative flow and achieve greater flexibility and precision by connecting a hardware control surface to your computer.
Some simple control surfaces only provide (non-motorized) faders and knobs. More sophisticated units include motorized faders, rotary encoders, LED rings, and programmable displays. The additional feedback these control surfaces provide makes them easier to use—without having to refer to your computer screen to know what mode the device is in, or what current parameter values are. Note: When you use a supported control surface with Logic Express, some controls are premapped to common functions.
Release Notes and New Features Documents Each application offers detailed documentation that covers new or changed features and functions. This documentation can be accessed in the following location: • Click the Release Notes and New Features links in the application Help menu. Logic Express Website For general information and updates, as well as the latest news on Logic Express, go to: • http://www.apple.
Basic Control Surface Setup 1 Regardless of the control surface being used, you first need to connect, add, and configure your device for use with Logic Express. This chapter describes the setup procedures and preferences that are common to all control surfaces. Setup information for specific devices is covered elsewhere in the documentation. Note: Read this chapter first, and then read through the chapter that pertains to your specific device. This chapter covers the following: • Getting Started (p.
• For devices that are only equipped with MIDI ports (such as a Mackie Control), a MIDI interface with free MIDI input and output ports for each device. For example, if you’re using a MIDI interface with 8 MIDI input ports and 8 MIDI output ports—with one Mackie Control and one Mackie Control XT unit—you will need to use two of the interface’s MIDI In ports, and two of its MIDI Out ports.
Connecting FireWire and USB Control Surfaces If your control surface has a FireWire or USB port, you can connect it directly to your computer, using a cable with the appropriate connectors. FireWire and USB devices transmit and receive data through a single cable, if the device supports bidirectional communication.
Connecting MIDI Control Surfaces If your control surface has MIDI input and output ports, you can connect it to a MIDI interface, and connect the MIDI interface to your computer. MIDI interfaces are typically connected to your computer via the USB or FireWire connection protocols. MIDI uses separate ports for input and output, and you must connect both the MIDI input and output to use the device with Logic Express.
Adding Control Surfaces to Logic Express Some control surfaces (such as the Mackie Control) are detected automatically when you open Logic Express. You can add other devices that are not detected automatically using the Setup window. Installation is easy (and is covered in the setup section of the chapter for your particular device).
You need to manually alter the MIDI In and Out port values (in the Device Parameter area of the Setup window) to match those of the connected unit. Note: You can reinitialize the support of all connected control surfaces by choosing Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Rebuild Defaults. Creating Control Surface Groups If you have multiple control surface units in your system, you can define how they relate to each other, and create control surface groups.
Pictured below is a multiple group example with two Mackie Controls, three Mackie Control XTs, and one HUI: The top row, consisting of the Mackie Control #1, Mackie Control XT #1, and Mackie Control XT #2, forms a single control surface group with 24 channels. Mackie Control #1 controls channels 1 to 8, XT #1 controls channels 9 to 16, and XT #2 handles channels 17 to 24.
Note: In most situations, the placement of your control surface units in relation to each other should be the same onscreen as in the real world. Simply position the icons in your control surface group accordingly. Once you have created a control surface group, you can configure it in the Setup window. For more information, see Control Surface Group Parameters.
Device Parameters The Device Parameters area contains the following items: • Out Port: Choose the MIDI output port from the pop-up menu. • Input: Choose the MIDI input port from the pop-up menu. • Module: Shows the name of the control surface. • Model: Shows the model name of the control surface. • Version: Shows the firmware version for some control surfaces. • Color: Click to choose the color that indicates which tracks are being controlled by this control surface.
Control Surface Group Parameters If you have created one or more control surface groups, you can configure group parameters in the Control Surface Group Parameters area. These parameters apply to the group associated with the selected device, and allow you to set up each group to meet your needs. This is especially helpful when you have multiple control surface groups. Many (if not all) control surface group parameters can also be changed directly from the control surface, as well as from the Setup window.
Control Surface Group Display Parameters The parameters at the top of the Control Surface Group Parameters area give you control over aspects of the device displays. • Flip Mode: Choose the functions for the faders and rotary encoders of the channel strips on the device. For control surfaces that contain a fader and a rotary encoder for each channel strip, Flip mode allows you to assign both controls to the same parameter, or swap their assignments.
• Channel Strip View Mode: Choose one of the following view modes: • Arrange: The channel strips on the device correspond to Logic Express channel strips as they appear in the Mixer window. The layout of channel strips matches the way tracks are laid out in the Arrange window. Channel strip 1 in the Mixer window is equivalent to channel 1 on the control surface, channel strip 2 in the Mixer is equivalent to channel 2, and so on. Instruments and channels used by multiple tracks are merged into one channel.
• Output: Encoders adjust/select channel output (main outs/auxes). • Automation: Encoders adjust/select channel automation mode. • Group: Encoders adjust group membership of the track. Editing the parameter allows you to set either “no group” or a single group. Enabling membership of multiple groups is not possible. (This can only be done directly in the Logic Express Mixer.) • Displayed Par.: Encoders adjust the automation parameter selected in the Arrange window.
Control Surface Group Send and Plug-in Parameters The parameters in the middle of the Control Surface Group Parameters area let you control different operational aspects when working with Send and Plug-in parameters. • Send Slot: Sets the currently selected Send slot. The default is 1, which sets the first (top) Send on each channel as the Send slot. A value of 2 sets the second send as the Send slot, a value of 3, the third Send slot, and so on.
• Inst Parameter Page (Split Lower): Sets the parameter that is assigned to the leftmost encoder of Split Lower when editing a software instrument (when Split mode is turned on). The next instrument parameter is assigned to encoder 2, and so on. • Insert Slot: Sets the current Insert slot number, both for selecting a plug-in (in Plug-in Channel Strip view) and for editing its parameters. The default is 1, which sets the first (top) plug-in slot on each channel as the Insert slot.
Control Surface Group Other Parameters The parameters at the bottom of the Control Surface Group Parameters area let you set the Track Name Format, Parameter Page Shift Mode, Relative Change Mode, Mix Group, and Group Parameter Page parameters. • Track Name Format: Determines whether the track name display shows only the track name, or the track name and number. • Parameter Page Shift Mode: Determines whether the parameter is shifted by one page or by one parameter.
µ To temporarily disable your control surfaces Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Bypass all Control Surfaces. This command is useful for silencing motorized control surface faders when recording in the same room. It is also handy when troubleshooting MIDI data errors, or for reducing MIDI bandwidth requirements. General Preferences General control surface preferences include resolution of relative controls, maximum MIDI bandwidth, and other functions.
• “Touching fader selects track” checkbox: When this option is selected, touching a fader on the control surface selects the track corresponding to the fader. For this to work, the device must feature touch-sensitive faders. • “Control surface follows track selection” checkbox: When this checkbox is selected, selecting a track in the Arrange window automatically selects the corresponding track or channel on the control surface.
Using more than one encoder per parameter shows fewer parameters at any given time, but you gain space on the LCD to cater to longer parameter names and values. The more control surfaces you have within a control surface group, the more you benefit from this feature. • “Only when all parameters fit in one page” checkbox: When selected, the defined number of encoders are only used when there are sufficient encoders available to show all parameters, without changing pages.
Help Tags Preferences For control surfaces that feature freely programmable displays with more than six characters per line (or segment) of the display, you can change the way help tags are shown. Control surface help tags are similar to Logic Express help tags, showing additional information during use. • “While editing show long names for” checkboxes: The two checkboxes in this section allow you to set how the names and values of parameters are displayed on the LCD of the control surface.
• “Show info for multiple parameters” checkbox: When selected, the long name information appears in the display until the most recently edited parameter’s display times out. This may cause overlapping text. When unselected, the long name display is only shown for the most recently edited parameter, which can cause screen flicker.
Control Surface Usage Tips You may find that using control surfaces changes the way you use Logic Express. Slight changes to your working methods can help you to use control surfaces more effectively. The following hints may streamline your Logic Express control surface workflow. Customize Your Templates • Set up screensets 1–7 as your most frequently used screensets. You can access these directly on some control surfaces.
Supported devices Manufacturer Notes 01X Yamaha The Yamaha 01X emulates a Mackie Control. It does not feature all controls available to the Mackie units, however. 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. 02R96 Yamaha The Yamaha 02R96 emulates three HUI units, using three virtual MIDI In and Out connections over its USB cable. See Yamaha 02R96.
Supported devices Manufacturer Notes Mackie Control Mackie The original Mackie Control hardware is similar to the Logic Control. The front panel legend is different, however. You should request a Logic Control Lexan Overlay from Mackie. As Logic Express also recognizes the Mackie Control protocol, you may use any firmware version. If your unit has firmware version 1.02 or later, you can freely use either the Logic Control or Mackie Control mode. See Mackie Control.
About Control Surface Plug-ins Supported control surfaces communicate with Logic Express via special plug-in files that are installed along with Logic Express. The plug-in files are located in the /Contents/MIDI Device Plug-ins subfolder of the Logic Express application bundle. To view the bundle contents, Control-click the Logic Express application icon, and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
Customizing Controller Assignments 2 You can assign controllers to Logic Express parameters, and edit controller assignments to fit your workflow. This section explains how to assign controllers to Logic parameters, edit controller assignments, and use zones and modes to switch between groups of assignments. This chapter covers the following: • Assigning Controllers to Logic Express Parameters (p. 37) • Controller Assignments: Working in Easy View (p.
You can assign controllers to parameters in Logic’s Controller Assignments window, using the Learn process. The Controller Assignments window has two views: a compact Easy view, where you can assign channel strip and plug-in parameters; and the more extensive Expert view, where you can create and edit any type of controller assignment, including global, automation, and control surface group assignments.
Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Easy View Only one set of assignment parameters is visible at a time in Easy view. You use the Learn process to assign controllers to channel strip and plug-in parameters. The Learn process basically involves moving a controller on your control surface. This sends a MIDI message to Logic Express, thus “teaching” Logic Express which controller you are assigning to the chosen parameter.
µ To delete a controller assignment in Easy view Select the assignment you want to remove in the Controller Assignments window (Easy view), and click the Delete button. Assigning a Series of Controllers in Easy View Logic Express includes a shortcut that makes it easy to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
Controller Assigments: Working in Expert View You can use Expert view to make advanced controller assignments. These include Logic Express parameters other than channel strip and plug-in parameters. For example, you can assign controllers to global, automation, and control surface group parameters in Expert view. You can also extensively edit controller assignments in Expert view, and define zones and modes, which let you switch between groups of controllers.
• Mode list: Displays the modes for the currently selected zone. The first entry “(No Mode)” is for modeless assignments. Select a mode in the list to see its assignments in the Control/Parameter list, and make it the selected zone’s active mode. You can also double-click a mode to rename it. See Getting to Know Zones and Modes. • Control/Parameter list: Select the assignment you want to edit.
Controller Assignments Window Expert View Settings This section outlines each parameter shown in the fields on the right side of the Controller Assignments window when in Expert view. Detailed descriptions of each parameter can be found in Using the Control Name and Label Fields. Controller Assignment Parameter Area The area at the top right shows the following parameters: • Control Name field: Displays the name of the controller for supported devices. For unsupported devices, Learned is displayed.
• Label field: Displays characters that represent the label for the assignment on the control surface’s display. You can view this much like a scribble strip on a mixer. See Using the Control Name and Label Fields. • Flip Group field: Enter an integer to define a flip group for the assignment. See Setting the Flip Group and Exclusive Parameters. • Class pop-up menu: Choose the class of parameter (parameter type) you want to assign. See Setting Class Pop-Up Menu Parameters.
Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Expert View You can use the Learn process to assign controllers when the Controller Assignments window is in Expert view, just as you would in Easy view. You can also assign controllers to classes of Logic Express parameters that are not accessible in Easy view. To learn a controller for a non-channel strip or plug-in parameter 1 Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments (or use Command-K), and click the Expert View button.
Getting to Know Zones and Modes You can define a group of controllers as a zone in Expert view, and switch all controls in a zone to different parameters, all in one operation. Using a Mackie Control, for example, you can define the eight rotary encoders as a zone, and switch them between pan, send level, and plug-in parameters. You can also define multiple zones for a control surface: one for the encoders, and a second one that switches the function keys (F1 to F8) to different functions.
The following example illustrates one possible arrangement of zones and modes, and shows how you can define them, hierarchically: Zone 1 Zone 2 Modeless Assignment A Modeless Assignment B Mode 3 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Mode 1 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Mode 4 (active) Modal Assignment A Mode 2 (active) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Modal Assignment C Mode 5 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Modal Assignment C Modal Assignment D Defining Zones and Mo
A new, blank zone appears in the Zone list. It is highlighted, allowing you to immediately rename it. 2 Enter a name for the zone. If you want to add controllers to the zone, see Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Expert View. To define a mode 1 Click the Add button in the lower-left corner of the Mode list. A new, blank mode appears in the Mode list. It is highlighted, allowing you to immediately rename it. 2 Enter a name for the mode.
This is typically used as follows: Supported control surfaces generally have empty user pages available, allowing for new encoder assignments. You would select a particular user page mode (page 3, for example), and then learn an assignment for the encoder. Using the Control Name and Label Fields The following describes the use and options available for the Control Name and Label fields in the Controller Assignment Parameter area at the top right of the Expert View window.
Third character Meaning # Number of above (track number, Send slot, EQ band, Insert slot) n Name of above p Name of parameter addressed by the assignment P Name of first parameter o Parameter offset, counted from 1 O Maximum parameter offset, counted from 1 b Parameter bank (= parameter offset/bank size), counted from 1 B Total number of banks (= parameter offset/bank size), counted from 1 Setting the Flip Group and Exclusive Parameters The following describes the use and options available
Note: The mode chosen in the Mode pop-up menu is only activated when the Value section: Mode menu is set to Direct. If any of the other Value section: Mode menu options is chosen, the following applies: • Toggle: The assignment toggles between the zone’s first mode and the chosen mode. The mode change assignment must be located in the same zone. • Relative: Useful for stepping up and down through modes in a zone (using two buttons) or for choosing a mode with an encoder.
Global options Explanation Nudge selected Regions/Events Nudges the selected regions or events by the chosen nudge value. (See below.) Any Solo Feedback only. On if any (track or region) Solo button is active. Nudge Value Controls the nudge value used for Nudge selected Regions/Events. Switches between tick, division, beat, bar, frame, 1/2 frame. Scrub Status Sets the scrubbing status for the Playhead parameter (beats, scrubbing). Possible values are set clock, audio scrubbing, shuttle.
Channel strip type Explanation Selected track Normally corresponds to the selected Arrange track. Exception: If the control surface group’s Track Lock parameter is active, the “selected” track is the one that was chosen when Track Lock was enabled. Fader Bank Addresses a channel strip in the control surface group’s current View mode (Arrange, All, Tracks, Single). This is dependent on the current Fader Bank value for this mode (see below).
If you want your key command assignment to be executed repeatedly, select the Key Repeat checkbox at the bottom of the Controller Assignments window. For further information, see “Key Repeat Checkbox” in Editing Value Parameters in Expert View. Click the Show button to open the Key Commands window. The key command shown in the Command field is automatically selected and shown in the Key Commands window.
When this class is chosen, a Group field appears below the Class pop-up menu. You can determine the edited group by entering a number in the field. Entering a “0” sets this parameter to the group selected for the Automation Group parameter (in the control surface group parameters). A Parameter pop-up menu also appears below the Group field, allowing you to choose the automation group parameter for the assignment. For further information, see the Group Settings section of the Logic Express User Manual.
For messages containing neither Lo7 nor Hi7 placeholders, Logic Express assumes an incoming value of 1. This is typical for pressed or released buttons. Also see “Multiply Field” in Editing Value Parameters in Expert View. Touch/Release Field Enter an integer value to use the incoming MIDI message for status changes of the destination parameter from touched to released, or vice versa. A non-zero value means touched; a value of 0 means released.
Multiply Field Enter a scaling value for incoming values. This is especially useful for button presses that have a value of 1. For example: • To set the automation mode to Write, set Multiply to 4.00, and Mode to Direct. • To decrement a parameter by 1 with a button press, set Multiply to –1.00, and Mode to Relative. Mode Pop-Up Menu Choose the mode used by incoming values to modify the current parameter value. The choices are: • Direct: The incoming value is used as the parameter value.
• Descending Bar: A bar from the top to the current value. • Text Only: LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphics element. • Automatic: Dependent on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable feedback mode is used: Plug-in and Instrument parameters carry this information, Pan displays a Single Dot/Line, and all other parameters display a bar that runs from left to right (Left to Right Bar).
Logic Express guides you through the re-learning process. The current MIDI message is automatically cleared, Learn mode is activated, and a help tag prompts you to send the desired MIDI message. Releasing the assigned button—after learning the MIDI message—automatically creates the Lo7 byte, and assigns the Lo7 value (for the button release message) to the Min parameter. The Lo7 value for the button pressed message is automatically assigned to the Max parameter.
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 category whose commands you want to reveal, then select the key command you want to assign. You can also search for the 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.
6 When you finish, click the Close button to exit the window. To delete a key command assignment 1 In the Key Commands window, select the key command (with an assignment that you want to delete) in the Command list. 2 Select the assignment for the key command in the Assignments field. 3 Press the Delete key. Controller Assignments Storage The current controller assignments and all Control Surfaces preferences are stored in the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.logic.express.cs file.
Mackie Control 3 You can fully control Logic Express with a Mackie Control, and can extend its functionality with several expansion devices, such as the XT and C4 units. 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.
Setting Up Your Mackie Control in Logic Express 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 you can customize its settings, as described in Basic Control Surface Setup, and Customizing Controller Assignments.
In some modes, a long parameter name (or other text) appears briefly onscreen while you are moving the corresponding control. You can set the display and duration of long parameter names in the Control Surfaces preferences. For information on setting preferences, see Basic Control Surface Setup. Note: On the LCD, 8-bit ASCII characters such as curly quotes and umlauts are replaced with the best-possible 7-bit ASCII equivalent.
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the SHIFT button cycles through three level meter modes on the main LCD: • Vertical: In this mode, the last character of each channel (in both LCD rows) is overlaid by a vertical bar which shows the channel level. The text characters reappear when the level meter is not visible. • Horizontal with Peak Hold: In this mode, the lower row of the LCD is replaced by horizontal channel level bars. Peak Hold appears as a hollow box, which disappears after a few seconds.
You can exit Control Surface Group Settings mode by pressing NAME/VALUE, or by entering one of the Marker or Nudge modes. SMPTE/BEATS Press the SMPTE/BEATS button, located just below the SMPTE/BEATS LEDs, to switch between the two time formats (SMPTE time or beats). For more information, see Mackie Control: Time Display. Mackie Control: Channel Strip Controls Directly below the main LCD display are eight sets of channel strip controls.
The current value of the parameter you are adjusting with the V-Pot is displayed on the main LCD (depending on the Name/Value setting), and is also indicated by the ring of LEDs encircling the V-Pot. The way that parameter values are displayed on the LED ring varies depending on the type of parameter being displayed. Holding down the CMD/ALT button sets the V-Pots to high-resolution (fine) mode, for parameters where this mode applies.
Mackie Control: SELECT Button Pressing the SELECT button chooses (activates) the channel for channel-based editing or assignment commands. Each SELECT button features a green LED which is lit when the channel is selected. Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing a channel’s SELECT button sets the channel volume to unity level (0 dB). Note: While holding down the SHIFT button, the SELECT button LED indicates if the channel volume is set to 0 dB.
When no master channel strip exists in the project, the Mackie Control Master fader is mapped to output channel strip 1–2. If you use multiple audio systems simultaneously, the Master fader only controls the master channel strip of the first device (matching the order shown in the Audio Preferences window). Mackie Control: Assignment Zone Directly below the Assignment LED are six ASSIGNMENT buttons.
Mixer View Mixer view allows you to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips: volume, pan, input format, input assignment, output assignment, or automation mode. When you switch to Mixer view, the parameter being edited is briefly displayed on the right side of the main LCD. The mode display shows “tr” (for track), and the upper row of the LCD shows track names. Press NAME/VALUE to display parameter values on the lower row of the LCD. These are shown when you turn a V-Pot, or press its button.
Control Action V-Pot 8 Edits the send level of Send 3. Holding down SHIFT while pressing one of the MUTE or V-Pot buttons switches between mute and bypass. Control Action V-Pot 1 or Mute 1 Mutes (or unmutes) the channel strip. V-Pot 2 or Mute 2 Mutes (or unmutes) the channel strip. V-Pot 3 or Mute 3 For software instrument tracks, mutes (or unmutes) the software instrument used on the channel strip.
Channel Strip Setup View Hold the TRACK button to display the Track shortcut menu on the LCD, and press V-Pot 8 or press F8 to enter Channel Strip Setup view. In this mode, you can edit the following (less frequently used) parameters for the selected channel strip. Control Action V-Pot 1 Edits the channel strip format (mono, stereo, left, right). V-Pot 2 Edits the Spread parameter. V-Pot 3 Selects the channel strip input assignment. Confirm by pressing V-Pot 6.
EQ Mixer View EQ Mixer view allows you to edit one equalizer parameter for all channel strips: Frequency, Gain, Q, or EQ bypass. The EQ band number, and parameter being edited, are displayed briefly when you switch to this mode. • The mode display shows E1 to E8, indicating the selected EQ band. • The upper LCD row shows channel strip names. • Turning the V-Pots changes the current EQ parameter. • Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value.
Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons. Alternate EQ Edit Mode Options Holding down the EQ button gives you access to a further submenu in the LCD. The mode display shows E_ or E_., depending on whether you are in EQ Mixer or EQ Channel View mode. Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects frequency. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects gain. V-Pot 3 or F3 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects Q.
Send Mixer View Send Mixer view allows you to edit one send parameter for all channel strips: Destination, Level, Position, or Mute. The Send slot number, and the parameter being edited, are displayed briefly on the LCD when switching to this mode. • The mode display shows S1 to S8, indicating the selected Send slot. • The upper LCD row shows channel strip names. • Turning the V-Pots changes the current send parameter.
Alternate Send Edit Mode Options Holding down the SEND button gives you access to a further submenu in the LCD. The mode display shows S_ or S_., depending on whether you are in Send Mixer view or Send Channel view. Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects destination. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects send level. V-Pot 3 or F3 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects position. V-Pot 4 or F4 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects mute.
If one or more sends are activated on multiple channels, you can switch between them while in the Channel View modes, by simply pressing the SELECT button of the desired channel. Mackie Control: PLUG-IN Button Pressing the PLUG-IN button activates Plug-in Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly switches between Plug-in Mixer view and Plug-in Channel view. Note: There is one exception to this behavior: If you are in Instrument Edit view, pressing this button switches to Plug-in Edit view.
µ To remove a plug-in Preselect the “--” value (by turning the V-Pot fully counterclockwise), then press the V-Pot button of the appropriate Insert slot. The Mackie Control does not switch to Plug-in Edit view, and no plug-in window opens when the “--” value is chosen. If a plug-in window is open, it closes (if Link mode is inactive). Plug-in Channel View This mode shows the plug-ins associated with all Insert slots for the selected channel. • The mode display shows the text “PL.
• Depending on the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD display changes between the two modes in the following ways: • Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip’s name, insert number, plug-in name, current parameter page, and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD row shows the name of the parameter, which can be edited via the corresponding V-Pot (the one below the parameter name). • Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter which can be edited via the corresponding V-Pot.
Compatibility Mackie Control can edit all plug-ins that can be automated. The plug-in type (Logic Express native, Audio Units) is irrelevant. Some third-party manufacturer plug-ins unfortunately don’t provide parameter names or values as text. In such cases, parameters are named and enumerated as “Control #1,” “Control #2,” and so on, with values displayed as numbers ranging between 0 and 1000. Contact the plug-in manufacturer to obtain a version that supports this feature.
2 Press the V-Pot button. Mackie Control does not switch to Instrument Edit view, and no plug-in window opens. If a plug-in window is open, it closes. Instrument Edit View You can view and edit instrument parameters in this mode. • The mode display shows “In.” • Depending on the state of the NAME/VALUE button, the LCD changes in the following ways: • Name: The upper LCD row shows the channel strip name, instrument name, current parameter page, and total number of parameter pages.
Mackie Control: BANK LEFT and BANK RIGHT Buttons The Mackie Control provides eight sets of channel strip controls, allowing you to edit eight corresponding channels. The BANK LEFT and BANK RIGHT buttons let you move between “banks” of eight channel strips. For example, if you are editing channel strips 1–8, pressing the BANK RIGHT button moves to channel strips 9–16. Pressing BANK RIGHT again moves to channel strips 17–24.
Mackie Control: CHANNEL LEFT and CHANNEL RIGHT Buttons Using the CHANNEL LEFT and CHANNEL RIGHT buttons, you can move up or down by a single channel strip. Pressing the CHANNEL RIGHT button shifts (the active channel strips) up by a single channel strip, while pressing CHANNEL LEFT shifts them down by a single channel strip. For example, if you are viewing channel strips 1 to 8 and press the CHANNEL RIGHT button, channel strips 2 to 9 are displayed.
Swap Mode Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing the FLIP button activates Swap mode. In Swap mode, the encoder assignments are swapped with the fader assignments, so that the faders control the parameter previously assigned to the V-Pots, and vice versa.

M-Audio iControl 4 This chapter introduces you to using the M-Audio iControl with Logic Express. Use of the iControl with Logic Express simplifies work with GarageBand projects. When you open a GarageBand project in Logic Express, you can edit it (using the iControl) in exactly the same manner as in GarageBand. You can also take full advantage of the greater control, editing, and processing power afforded by Logic Express.
Editing Plug-in Parameters Using the M-Audio iControl In addition to editing volume, pan, and other channel strip functions, the iControl lets you edit any plug-in that can be automated in Logic Express. Many Logic Express effect and instrument plug-ins, and those of third-party manufacturers, feature dozens of parameters. You can access each of these parameters with the iControl.
Note: The assignments for Encoder 1 and 2 are optimized for GarageBand Real Instrument tracks, which have a default Noise Gate and Compressor effect inserted. • Encoder 3: Not assigned • Encoder 4: Not assigned • Encoder 5: Controls the Pan knob of the channel. • Encoder 6: Controls the send level for the first send of the channel. • Encoder 7: Controls the send level for the second send of the channel. • Encoder 8: Controls the Volume fader of the channel.
EQ Button Pressing the EQ button allows you to edit the EQ parameters of the selected channel strip. If a Channel EQ exists on the selected channel strip, pressing the EQ button opens the EQ plug-in window. If no Channel EQ exists on the selected channel strip, a Channel EQ is inserted automatically. The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons switch to the next or previous parameter page.
Select Button Pressing a channel Select button selects the channel for channel-based editing or assignment commands. When a channel is selected, “Sel” is lit on the button. Note: If the Track Info button is illuminated, the Select buttons behave differently. See Track Info Button for details. Record Enable Button Pressing a channel Record Enable button (denoted by a centered white dot) arms the associated channel strip for recording. When a channel is armed for recording, the dot is lit.
M-Audio iControl: Mixer View and Channel View The rotary encoders operate in two views: Mixer view and Channel view. The view you’re in determines whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit multiple channels, or a single channel. • Mixer view: Accesses the same parameter for eight channel strips, such as pan or volume (normally a section of the Mixer window). • Channel view: Accesses eight parameters of the selected channel strip.
Fast Forward Button Quickly press the Fast Forward button (denoted by two right arrows) to move the playhead forward by one bar.
