Euphonix: Understanding the Fader Strips
The number of fader strips differs across each of the Euphonix devices. The following
section outlines the behavior of some fader strip elements in Logic Express.
Note: This section is limited to descriptions of features specific to Logic Express. Refer to
the Euphonix user documentation for information about basic fader behavior.
• On key: The On key provides the same function as the Mute button in Logic Express,
but behaves in a way that may not be expected.
• The track is unmuted when the On key is lit (the Logic Express Mute button is unlit).
• The track is muted when the On key is unlit (the Logic Express Mute button is lit).
• L LED: On MC Professional devices, when the Logic Express channel strip being controlled
by the fader belongs to an automation group, the L LED of the channel strip is
illuminated.
• “Touching fader selects track”: The “Touching fader selects track” preference of
Logic Express (Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Preferences) does not
apply to the Euphonix devices when they are used with the EuCon protocol. This
function is offered by the individual devices, using the device’s “Select channel by
touching fader/joystick” or “Select by Touch” General preference. This is the same as
pressing the Select/Sel key.
Euphonix: Opening and Closing Plug-in Windows
Logic Express supports the Euphonix “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” and
“Close plug-ins on workstation when exiting” preferences.
If the Link button is enabled in an open plug-in window:
• “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” does not open a new window when a
new plug-in is selected, but replaces the open window’s contents.
• “Close plug-ins on workstation when exiting” does nothing.
If the Link button is disabled in an open plug-in window:
• “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” opens a new plug-in window.
• “Close plug-ins on workstation when exiting” closes the plug-in window.
Euphonix: Getting to Know Knobsets
When using the Euphonix devices with Logic Express, the Mixer’s channel strip functions
can be accessed and edited using knobsets. A knobset contains pages, each comprised
of eight parameters. Knobsets are organized hierarchically.
