Chapter 3 Controller assignments 41
Assign and delete controllers in Expert view
You can use the Learn process to assign controllers in the Controller Assignments window
Expert view, just as you would in Easy view. You can also assign controllers to classes of Logic Pro
parameters that are not accessible in Easy view.
The procedure for reassigning an active controller (an assigned controller in the active mode) is
dierent from that of an inactive controller (one with an assignment in an inactive mode). See
Use zones and modes for information on modes.
Learn a controller for a non-channel strip or plug-in parameter
1 Choose Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments (or press Command-K), then click
the Expert View button.
2 Choose a zone or mode unless you want to make a modeless assignment, then 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 that you want to assign to the selected parameter.
Moving the controller sends a MIDI message to Logic Pro, thus “teaching” Logic Pro which
controller you are assigning. The Learn Mode button remains active, allowing you to make
further assignments. The incoming MIDI message appears in the Input message eld.
5 Choose the class of parameter you want to assign from the Class pop-up menu.
6 Assign the parameter by making choices in the pop-up menus and elds that appear below the
Class pop-up menu.
Note: A detailed explanation of classes and other assignment parameters can be found in Class
pop-up menu parameters on page 45.
7 Click the Learn Mode button (or press Command-L) to complete the Learn process.
Tip: You can use the shortcut described in Assign a series of controllers to a series of
parameters on page 36 to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
Delete an assignment in Expert view
Should you accidentally move the wrong controller in Learn mode, you can easily delete an
unwanted assignment.
1 Select the assignment you want to delete in the Control/Parameter list.
2 Choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key).
Reassign an active controller
m Use the Learn process to assign an active controller (one with an assignment in the active mode),
then choose one of the options shown in the dialog:
•
Cancel: Click to delete the new assignment, retaining the existing assignment.
•
Keep both: Click to retain the new and old assignments.
This is generally used when one knob controls multiple parameters as a macro.
