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.
Given the hugely expanded functionality of Logic Express over GarageBand, some iControl
buttons may not be assigned as you might expect. You can, however, easily reassign
iControl buttons in the Controller Assignments window. For more information, see
Customizing Controller Assignments.

Setting Up Your M-Audio iControl
When you connect the iControl to any of your computer’s USB ports, Logic Express
automatically detects the device. If any channels are muted, soloed, or record-enabled
in the current project, the LED on the corresponding channel strip control is lit to reflect
the channel strips status. If Cycle mode is active, a lit LED also indicates this.
