You can assign controllers to parameters in Logic’s Controller Assignments window, using
the Learn process. The Controller Assignments window has two views: a compact Easy
view, where you can assign channel strip and plug-in parameters; and the more extensive
Expert view, where you can create and edit any type of controller assignment, including
global, automation, and control surface group assignments.
