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. The choices are:
• Off: Standard mode, with the fader acting as a volume control.
• Duplicate: Assigns both the fader and encoder to the currently selected encoder
parameter.
• Swap: Switches the fader and encoder assignments, making the fader a pan control
and the encoder a channel volume control, for example.
• Mute: Disables the fader. This is useful when recording in the same room as the
control surface, and you want to avoid the mechanical noise of the faders. Any existing
automation still functions normally.
• Display Mode: Click to limit the device display to only the name or only the value of
the current parameter. This is helpful if there is insufficient space for the display of both
the parameter name and value.
• Clock Display: If your control surface features a position display, this parameter allows
you to determine how the playhead position is represented. Click to switch between
Beats (musical values) or SMPTE (absolute time values).
Note: The exact elements displayed, and thus their positions, depend on the selected
SMPTE or bar/beat display option defined in the Logic Express Preferences.
