Note On
The -1- parameter sets the pitch, and the fader position sets the velocity. This is most
useful as an In definition—for trapping specific notes and converting them to other
MIDI events, or simply monitoring their velocity. If you move a fader with an Out
definition set to Note On, a note-off MIDI event will immediately follow the note-on.
This might be useful for creating onscreen drum pads from button style faders, for
example.
P-Press
The -1- parameter sets the pitch, and the fader position sets the amount of Poly
Pressure (key pressure or polyphonic aftertouch).
Control
The -1- parameter sets the MIDI controller number (the controller type), and the fader
position sets the controller value. The controller type can actually be selected by name,
via the pull-down menu that appears when you click-hold on the -1- parameter.
Program Change
The -1- parameter is ignored. (In earlier versions of Logic, this sets the program bank.)
The fader position determines the program number.
C-Press
The -1- parameter is ignored. The fader position sets the channel pressure
(monophonic aftertouch) amount.
PitchBd
The -1- parameter sets the pitch bend LSB, and the fader position sets the MSB.
Typically, you would set the -1- parameter to 0, and use the fader to control the “coarse”
pitch bend amount. A -1- setting of 0, and a fader position of 64 results in no pitch
bend.
Fader Functions: Range, Val as
Range
The range parameter contains two numbers—the left one sets the lowest possible
fader value, and the right one sets the highest. Note that these limits can be exceeded
by MIDI remote control. When the fader style is a button, the range determines the in
and out position values of the button.
For text style faders, the first name always corresponds to the low end of the range,
and subsequent names correspond to incremental range values, up to the top range.
The number of names that can be entered into the window is limited by the range.
Val as
This parameter determines the way that numerical values are displayed by the fader:
