Euphonix MC Professional: Setting Up Soft Key Assignments
The “Logic Express.xml” Application Set file—installed with the EuCon software on your
MC Professional device—features a number of useful Soft Key assignments. It is possible
to edit these assignments.
To change a Soft Key assignment on your MC Professional device
1 Press the Setup button in the lower-right corner of the Soft Keys section on the device.
2 Select the respective Soft Key by pressing it.
3 Choose the desired EuCon command in the menu.
Logic Express supports the following EuCon commands:
• Key Commands: All Logic Express key commands (except the transport commands) are
found here. The touchscreen uses the same hierarchy as the Key Commands window.
Many of these key commands switch between states (on/off, for example) or set a
value. Most also provide feedback on the Soft Key; for example, a Soft Key assigned to
the Open/Close Score Editor command is illuminated when a Score Editor window is
open.
• Left Wheel/Right Wheel: The commands found here allow you to configure the left or
right wheel to perform a certain action when turned. This includes horizontal or vertical
zoom, waveform zoom, individual track zoom, move locators, adjust left locator, adjust
right locator, move punch locators, adjust punch in or punch out locator, move markers,
adjust marker lengths, nudge selected regions or events, and left/right pan.
• Project > Markers: All markers defined in the open project are shown as a list (which
only appears once you create the first marker in that project). Assigning a Soft Key to
a marker displays the marker title on the Soft Key, but only if the marker title consists
of six characters or fewer. A marker name with more than six characters is replaced on
the Soft Key by the marker number (1, for example). With this same limitation, renaming
a marker in Logic Express also changes the associated Soft Key display. Pressing the
Soft Key moves the playhead to the marker start point. The Soft Key is illuminated while
the playhead is within the marker boundaries. Moving a marker disconnects the Soft
Key from the marker.
Note: Marker Soft Keys are a part of the Application Set, not the project. Don’t forget
to save the User Set after defining a Marker Soft Key.
• Transport: All transport-related key commands are found here.
Euphonix: Choosing Automation Modes
The Euphonix devices only support Read and Write automation modes. Logic Express,
however, also features Touch and Latch automation modes. When you use the Euphonix
devices with Logic Express, activating Read/Write mode activates Touch mode in
Logic Express. Latch mode cannot be activated with these devices.
