Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Expert View
You can use the Learn process to assign controllers when the Controller Assignments
window is in Expert view, just as you would in Easy view. You can also assign controllers
to classes of Logic Express parameters that are not accessible in Easy view.
To learn a controller for a non-channel strip or plug-in parameter
1 Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments (or use
Command-K), and click the Expert View button.
2 Choose a zone or mode (unless you want to make a modeless assignment), and click the
plus button in the lower-left corner of the Control/Parameter list.
A new, blank assignment appears in the Control/Parameter list.
3 Click the Learn Mode button to start the Learn process.
4 Move the controller (on your control surface) that you want to assign to the selected
parameter.
Moving the controller sends a MIDI message to Logic Express, thus “teaching” Logic Express
which controller you are assigning. The Learn Mode button remains active, allowing you
to make further assignments.
5 The incoming MIDI message appears in the Input message field. Once Logic Express has
received the message, choose the class of parameter you want to assign from the Class
pop-up menu.
6 Assign the parameter by making appropriate choices in the pop-up menus and fields
that appear below the Class pop-up menu.
Note: A detailed explanation of classes and other assignment parameters can be found
in Using the Control Name and Label Fields.
7 When you finish, click the Learn Mode button (or press Command-L) to complete the
Learn process.
Tip: You can use the shortcut described in Assigning a Series of Controllers in Easy View
to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
Should you accidentally move the wrong controller in Learn mode, you can easily delete
an unwanted assignment.
To delete an assignment in Expert view
1 Select the assignment that you want to delete in the Control/Parameter list.
2 Choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key).
