Chapter 2 Basic control surface setup 27
•
Maximum MIDI Bandwidth slider: Drag to set the maximum amount of MIDI bandwidth that
your control surface can use. This is set to a default of 50%, which should be suitable for most
situations. You can adjust the value if MIDI or automation playback is being aected.
•
Touching fader selects track checkbox: Turn on to select the track corresponding to the fader
when you touch a fader on the control surface.
Note: This feature works only with devices that have touch-sensitive faders.
•
Control surface follows track selection checkbox: Turn on to automatically select the
corresponding track or channel on the control surface when you select a track in the
Tracks window.
•
Jog resolution depends on horizontal zoom checkbox: Turn on to link the precision of scrubbing
(using the Jog/Shuttle Wheel of your control surface) with the horizontal zoom level of Logic
Pro. Your control surface must feature a Jog/Shuttle Wheel (or similar control) for this to
have an eect. To retain a consistent resolution, regardless of Logic Pro window zoom levels,
deselect this checkbox.
•
Pickup Mode checkbox: Turn on to use your control surface in Pickup mode (if this mode is
available).
Some control surfaces, typically those without motorized faders or knobs, do not show
parameter changes—caused by playing back existing automation data—on their interface.
Such control surfaces usually oer a Pickup mode. In Pickup mode, the controller must reach
(“pick up”) the current value before the value starts to change. This feature prevents sudden
jumps of parameter values caused by playing back automation. Your device may provide a
display (usually a pair of arrow LEDs) that indicates the direction or distance you need to move
the controller, in order to match the settings shown in Logic Pro (also known as NULL). Once
you have matched the onscreen values, deactivate Pickup mode and start automating. When
Pickup mode is turned o, adjusting a fader modies the parameter immediately (which can
result in parameter value jumps).
•
Flash Mute and Solo buttons checkbox: Turn on to make the Mute and Solo buttons on the
control surface blink (ash) on and o when mute or solo modes are engaged.
•
Multiple Controls per Parameter pop-up menu: Choose the maximum number of encoders used
for each parameter when editing plug-ins or audio instruments. The choices are:
•
1: Parameters are always displayed using one encoder per parameter, with the least space
available for the parameter name and value in the LCD.
•
2: On each unit, encoders 1 and 2 are used for the rst parameter, encoders 3 and 4 for the
second, and so on.
•
4: On each unit, encoders 1 to 4 are used for the rst parameter, encoders 5 to 8 for the
second, and so on.
•
8: On each unit, encoders 1 to 8 are used for the rst parameter, encoders 9 to 16 for the
second, and so on.
When multiple encoders are used per parameter, the encoders are divided into groups (1/2,
3/4, 5/6, 7/8, for example). The rst encoder of each group controls the parameter shown in
the display. The remaining encoders are inactive. Using more than one encoder per parameter
shows fewer parameters at any given time, but you gain space on the LCD to cater to longer
parameter names and values. The more control surfaces you have within a control surface
group, the more you benet from this feature.
•
Only when all parameters t on one page checkbox: Turn on to use the dened number of
encoders only when there are sucient encoders available to show all parameters without
changing pages.
