M-Audio iControl transport controls in Logic Pro
The transport controls at the bottom-left corner of the iControl feature six large buttons:
Record, Return to Zero, Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, and Cycle. You can use these buttons
to navigate your projects and to perform a number of recording and editing tasks.
Transport controls

for recording. See M-Audio iControl Assignment buttons in Logic Pro.
• Return to Zero button: Press to move the playhead to the beginning of the project.
• Rewind button: Quickly press to move the playhead backward by one bar. Hold down
the Rewind button to continuously move the playhead backward in one-bar steps.
You can also press the Rewind and Cycle buttons simultaneously to activate Cycle mode,
and set the left cycle border (left locator) to the current playhead position.
• Play/Stop button: Press to start playback from the current playhead position or to stop
playback if the project is currently playing or recording.
• Fast Forward button: Quickly press to move the playhead forward by one bar. Hold
down the Fast Forward button to continuously move the playhead forward in one-bar
increments.
You can also press the Fast Forward and Cycle buttons simultaneously to activate Cycle
mode, and set the right cycle border (right locator) to the current playhead position.

You can activate Cycle mode—and set the left and right cycle locators, respectively—by
using the Rewind or Fast Forward and Cycle buttons together. See M-Audio iControl
locators and Cycle mode in Logic Pro.

• Navigate to the position where you want to set the right locator with the Jog Wheel,
then press the Cycle and Fast Forward buttons simultaneously.
• Hold down the Cycle button, navigate to the position where you want to set the right
locator using the Jog Wheel, then release the Cycle button.
