Controller Assignments Expert view
Use Expert view
You can use Expert view to make advanced controller assignments. These include Logic Pro
parameters other than channel strip and plug-in parameters. For example, you can assign
controllers to global, automation, and control surface group parameters in Expert view. You can
also edit controller assignments in Expert view and dene zones and modes that let you switch
between groups of controllers.
Important: Expert view is available only when you select the Show Advanced Tools checkbox
and the Control Surfaces checkbox in the Advanced Logic Pro preferences.
The Learn process opens the Controller Assignments window in Easy view, which shows the
basic parameters for the current assignment. To make assignments other than channel strip or
plug-in assignments or to edit other assignment parameters, you need to switch to Expert view.
Tip: You can only switch back to Easy view if a track or plug-in parameter is selected.

The Expert view of the Controller Assignments window contains the following:
•
Zone list: Displays the available zones for the device. The rst entry “(No Zone)” is for zoneless
assignments—assignments that are always active, regardless of the active zone. Select a zone
in the list to see its modes (in the Mode list), and its current assignments (in the Control/
Parameter list). You can also double-click a zone to rename it. See Use zones and modes on
page 42.
•
Mode list: Displays the modes for the currently selected zone. The rst entry “(No Mode)” is
for modeless assignments. Select a mode in the list to see its assignments in the Control/
Parameter list, and make it the selected zone’s active mode. You can also double-click a mode
to rename it. See Use zones and modes on page 42.
•
Control/Parameter list: Select the assignment you want to edit. The left column displays the
name of the control and the right column displays the (abbreviated) name of the parameter
being controlled. The parameters of the selected assignment appear in the elds to the right
of the list. See Expert view parameters on page 39.
