Display parameters
• Flip Mode pop-up menu: Choose functions for the faders and rotary encoders of
channel strips on the device. For control surfaces that have a fader and a rotary
encoder for each channel strip, Flip mode allows you to assign both controls to the
same parameter, or to swap their assignments. The choices are:
• Off: Default flip mode, with the fader acting as a volume control.
• Duplicate: Assigns both the fader and the encoder to the currently selected encoder
parameter.
• Swap: Switches the fader and encoder assignments, making the fader a pan control
and the encoder a channel volume control, for example.
• Mute: Disables the fader. This is useful when recording in the same room as the
control surface and you want to avoid the mechanical noise of the faders. Any
existing automation still functions normally.
• Display Mode pop-up menu: Choose to display either the name or the value of the
current parameter on the display of your control surface.
• Clock Display pop-up menu: If your control surface features a position display, you can
choose to represent it as either Beats (musical values) or SMPTE (absolute time values).
Note: The exact elements displayed, and thus their positions, depend on the selected
Displays preferences defined in General Display preferences in Logic Pro.
• Channel Strip View Mode pop-up menu: Determines how channel strips on your control
surface corresponds with Logic Pro channel strips. Choose one of the following views:
• Arrange: The channel strips on the device correspond to Logic Pro channel strips.
The layout of channel strips matches the order of tracks shown (from top to bottom)
in the Tracks window. Channel strip 1 in the Mixer window is equivalent to channel 1
on the control surface, channel strip 2 in the Mixer is equivalent to channel 2, and so
on. Instruments and channels used by multiple tracks are merged into one channel.
This is the default mode of most devices.
• All: The channel strips on the device correspond to Logic Pro channel strips of
certain types, such as MIDI or aux channels, independent of their use in tracks.
Control surfaces that support this view generally allow you to define which channel
types you want to display. The contents of the Logic Pro Mixer window automatically
follow the state of the control surface when View > Link Control Surfaces is turned
on.
• Tracks: This view is similar to Arrange view, but individual channel strips are shown
when multiple tracks address the same channel. Typically, this is a software or MIDI
instrument channel, with several tracks routed to it.
• Single: This view shows a single channel and its routing to auxes and so on. You can
define the editable parameters.
Note: The View is a property of the control surface group, not a global setting. One
group can display busses, while the other shows tracks, for example.
• Fader Bank for Tracks View field: Drag vertically, or enter an integer value to offset
tracks that are controlled by channel strips on the device in Tracks view. For example,
if your device has eight channel strips, these might normally be assigned to Logic Pro
audio channel strips 1–8. If you set this parameter to 2, the device channel strips would
control Logic Pro channel strips 3–10 (1 + 2 = 3).
