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. 38)
• Controller Assigments: Working in Expert View (p. 41)
• Assigning Buttons to Key Commands (p. 59)
• Controller Assignments Storage (p. 61)
Assigning Controllers to Logic Express Parameters
You can assign any controller that is capable of generating a MIDI message to a parameter
in Logic Express. Assigning controllers to Logic parameters lets you use faders, knobs,
switches, and other controllers to remotely control Logic functions. These can be used
“as is,” or in conjunction with modifier keys.
Most supported control surfaces include preset controller assignments that become active
when you add the device to your system. You can change existing assignments for
supported control surfaces, and create new assignments for both supported and
unsupported devices. For example, the default assignments of the F1 to F7 buttons on
the Mackie Control open screensets 1 to 7 in Logic Express. You can reassign these control
surface buttons to other Logic commands—either alone or in conjunction with the
Command, Shift, Option, and Control modifier buttons (on the control surface)—in any
combination.
