Assigning a Series of Controllers in Easy View
Logic Express includes a shortcut that makes it easy to assign a series of controllers to a
series of similar parameters. For example, you can use this shortcut to assign a series of
faders to volume; to assign a series of knobs to other channel strip parameters such as
pan, solo, or mute; or to assign a series of controllers to a set of plug-in parameters.
To assign a series of controllers to a series of parameters
1 In the Mixer, or in any plug-in window, select the parameter that you want Logic Express
to learn as a controller assignment.
2 Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Learn Assignment for [parameter
name]. (Alternately, you can use the Learn new Controller Assignment key command,
default: Command-L, to open the Controller Assignments window, and activate Learn
mode.)
The Controller Assignments window opens in Easy view, with the Learn Mode button
activated. In most cases, the name of the selected parameter is shown in the Parameter
field.
3 Assign the first controller in the series to the first parameter (assign fader 1 to control
volume for channel strip 1, for example).
4 Assign the last controller in the series to the last parameter (assign fader 16 to control
volume for channel strip 16, for example). The number of controllers between the first
and last in the series must match the number of parameters between the first and last
parameter. In the example, the distance between 1 and 16 would equal 15.
A “Do you want to fill up in between?” dialog appears.
5 Click OK to automatically fill the controllers between the first and last with the
corresponding assignments.
Note: You can only use shortcuts for knobs that send a single channel message, where
the first data byte is the controller number and the second data byte is the value.
Alternatively, the controller number can be encoded in the MIDI channel, with a fixed
first data byte. Consult the documentation that came with your device for information
on its data structure.
