Control surface Device parameters in Logic Pro
Device parameters
Output Port pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI output port for your control surface from
the pop-up menu.
Input pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI input port for your control surface from the pop-
up menu.
Each control surface must be connected to an independent MIDI In and Out port (or
corresponding USB port, designated as a MIDI port by the device driver). When the
device is added, the automatic setup or scan procedure sets the appropriate MIDI input
and output port settings for the device. If the MIDI port settings are incorrect, you can
manually choose them from the Input and Out Port pop-up menus.
Module field: Shows the internal control surface support module being used by the
control surface.
Model field: Shows the model name of the control surface.
If your control surface device is internally supported by a module that was developed
for a different device than the module and model names, the module and name fields
will reflect the internally supported device, rather than the attached device. For
example, the Presonus Faderport is directly supported in Logic Pro via the Logic Control
module, so when you connect the Presonus Faderport, the Module field shows “Logic
Control” and the Model field shows “Mackie Control.
Version field: Shows the firmware version for control surfaces which report that
information. For control surface devices that do not present this information to Logic
Pro, the field is blank.
Color field: Click to choose a color from the color picker to indicate tracks controlled
by this control surface. In the Tracks area and Mixer, tracks controlled by this device
are marked by a bar in the chosen color when control surface bars are displayed. For
more information on control surface bars, see View control surface bars in the Logic Pro
Mixer.
Fader Bank Offset field: Sets the offset for the faders of the control surface device.
The offset determines which channel strips in the Mixer the device’s hardware faders
control.
