Preface Introduction You can use hardware control surfaces to control and automate transport, mixing, recording, and other tasks in Logic Pro. All of the Logic Pro functions which correspond to mixer controls, such as setting volume level and pan position, can be performed onscreen—using your mouse and computer keyboard. This is not an optimal method for precise real time control.
Some simple control surfaces only provide (non-motorized) faders and knobs. More sophisticated units include motorized faders, rotary encoders, LED rings, and programmable displays. The additional feedback these control surfaces provide make them easier to use—without having to refer to your computer screen to know what mode the device is in, or what current parameter values are.
Logic Pro directly supports a variety of control surfaces, as mentioned, but also allows you to remap existing assignments for supported control surfaces, or to program new assignments for unsupported control surfaces. This allows you to extend the use of faders, knobs, and switches—either directly, or through the use of modifier commands. You can use any combination of control surfaces with Logic Pro. You will get the most out of them when used in a control surface group.
Supported Devices Manufacturer Notes C4 Mackie The Mackie C4 is directly supported. See “Mackie C4” on page 159. CM408T (System 5 MC) Euphonix See “EuCon Support of Euphonix MC and System 5-MC” on page 117. CS-32 MiniDesk JLCooper See “JLCooper CS-32 MiniDesk” on page 141. DM1000 Yamaha The Yamaha DM1000 emulates two HUI units, using two virtual MIDI in and out connections over its USB cable. See “Yamaha DM1000” on page 229.
Supported Devices Manufacturer Notes Mackie Control Mackie The original Mackie Control hardware is similar to the Logic Control. The front panel legend is different, however. You should request a Logic Control Lexan Overlay from Mackie. As Logic Pro also recognizes the Mackie Control protocol, you may use any firmware version. If your unit has firmware version 1.02 or higher, you can freely use either the Logic Control or Mackie Control mode. See “Mackie Control” on page 57.
Control Surface Plug-ins Supported control surfaces communicate with Logic Pro via special plug-in files that are installed along with Logic Pro. The plug-in files are located in the /Contents/MIDI Device Plug-ins subfolder of the Logic Pro application bundle. To view the bundle contents, Control-click the Logic Pro application icon, and choose Show Package Contents from the menu.
About This Guide This document assumes that you are familiar with the basic use and terminology of Logic Pro. The functionality and uses of individual Logic Pro parameters are not covered. Please consult the Logic Pro 8 User Manual if you require further information. The next chapter, “Basic Control Surface Setup,” describes general setup procedures that are common to all control surfaces. The following chapters provide information about setting up and using specific devices.
1 Basic Control Surface Setup 1 Regardless of the device, you first need to connect, add, and configure your control surface for use with Logic Pro. This chapter describes aspects of the setup procedure, and preferences, that are common to all control surfaces. Setup information for specific devices is covered in the following chapters. Important: Please read this chapter first, then read through the chapter that pertains to your specific device.
The number of devices that can be used simultaneously depends on the number of free ports of the appropriate type (USB, FireWire, or other) available on your system. In a standard setup, you can use a single control surface—or one accompanied by one or more expansion devices. You can also create control surface groups, as discussed in “Creating Control Surface Groups” on page 19. Using multiple control surfaces allows you to control more tracks/channels, effects, and other parameters simultaneously.
Connecting Control Surfaces via Networking Ports A handful of devices are connected via the network (LAN) ports of your Macintosh, using a single, standard (CAT5) networking cable. Most devices connected in this way also incorporate audio I/O, and digital audio converters, plus built-in MIDI ports— making the addition of these peripherals a simple, single cable (and driver) installation.
Powering Up Once everything is connected, press the power switch on your control surface. Once powered, the displays (such as an LCD, if your device has one) or LEDs are lit. Some LCDs display a welcome message, which includes the firmware version number, during power-up. On most control surfaces with motorized faders, each fader will slide to its top position, then back to its bottom or center position. This self-diagnostic power-on procedure indicates that your units are functioning correctly.
Some control surfaces don’t support automatic scanning. Such devices must be added manually to your setup. When you add a device manually, you also need to assign the appropriate MIDI In and Out port parameters. Note: It is preferable to install devices by scanning, whenever possible. Logic Pro is able to gather more information about devices through scanning, than via manual installation.
To create a control surface group: 1 Open the Control Surfaces Setup window by choosing Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Setup. 2 In the Setup window, drag the icons of the control surfaces you want to group, so that they form a single horizontal row. The order of the icons from left to right defines the order in which tracks and parameters are arranged on the devices.
The top row, consisting of the Mackie Control #1, Mackie Control XT #1, and Mackie Control XT #2 forms a single control surface group with 24 channels. Mackie Control #1 controls channels 1 to 8, XT #1 controls channels 9 to 16, and XT #2 handles channels 17 to 24. In the second row, the Mackie Control #2 and Mackie Control XT #3 form a second control surface group—controlling instruments (on channels 1 to 8) and auxes (on channels 9 to 16).
Configuring Your Control Surface Setup The left side of the Setup window contains two or three parameter boxes: Device parameters, Special parameters (if your connected device supports them), and Control Surface Group parameters. You can configure your control surface setup to meet your needs by editing the parameters in these boxes. Device Parameters The Device Parameter box contains the following parameters: Â Out Port: Choose the MIDI output port from the pop-up menu.
Special Parameters Some control surfaces (such as the Mackie Control) allow you to define “special” parameters such as fader touch sensitivity. When a device that offers special parameters is connected, the Special Parameters box appears on the left side of the Setup window. For more information about supported special parameters, refer to the documentation for the specific device.
Note: The exact elements displayed, and thus their positions, depend on the selected SMPTE or bar/beat display option defined in the Logic Pro Preferences. Â Channel Strip View Mode: Â Arrange: The channel strips on the device correspond to Logic Pro channel strips as they appear in the Mixer window. The layout of channel strips matches the way tracks are laid out in the Arrange window.
    Input: Encoders adjust/select channel input source. Output: Encoders adjust/select channel output (main outs/auxes/surround). Automation: Encoders adjust/select channel automation mode. Group: Encoders adjust group membership of the track. Editing the parameter allows you to set either “no group” or a single group. Enabling membership of multiple groups is not possible (this can only be done directly in the Logic Pro Mixer).  Displayed Par.
If your control surface does not display all EQ parameters at once, you view them by stepping through the parameter pages in sequence. As an example, if your control surface has eight channel strips, you can directly control parameters 1 to 8 with knobs or sliders 1 to 8 when you switch to EQ Channel Strip Edit view. You then need to switch by a page to access parameters 9 to 16.
 Insert Slot: Sets the current Insert slot number, both for selecting a plug-in (in Plug-in Channel Strip view) and for editing its parameters. The default is 1, which sets the first (top) plug-in slot on each channel as the Insert slot. A value of 2 sets the second plug-in slot as the Insert slot, and so on. With Split Mode enabled, this applies to Split Upper.  Insert Slot (Split Lower): Sets the current Insert slot number for Split Lower when selecting or editing a plug-in when Split Mode is enabled.
 Full: Turning the encoder to the right sets the maximum value. Turning it to the left sets the minimum value. The encoder also stops at its default value. As an example, when the Pan knob is left of center, turning the encoder to the right initially sets the Pan parameter to center (its default value). A further turn to the right sets the Pan to full right (its maximum value).  Fine: The parameter is incremented or decremented in fine steps—by one tick or other unit.
Setting Control Surface Preferences Various settings that affect the onscreen appearance and performance of control surfaces can be made in the Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces tabs. To open the Control Surfaces preferences: m Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Preferences (or use the Open Control Surfaces Preferences key command). To temporarily disable your control surfaces: m Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Bypass all Control Surfaces.
 Jog resolution depends on horizontal zoom checkbox: When active, the precision of scrubbing (using the jog/shuttle wheel of your control surface) is determined by the horizontal zoom level of Logic Pro. Your control surface must feature a jog/shuttle wheel (or similar control) for this to have any effect. To retain a consistent resolution, regardless of Logic Pro window zoom levels, disable this checkbox.
 Only when all parameters fit in one page: When turned on, the defined number of encoders are only used when there are sufficient encoders available to show all parameters, without changing pages. As an example, if you have a Mackie Control and two Mackie Control XTs (giving you at total of 24 encoders), a plug-in with 13 parameters will be shown with one encoder per parameter. Eleven encoders will remain unused. A plug-in with 11 parameters will be shown with two encoders per parameter.
 Parameter name checkbox: When turned on, the upper LCD line displays the full parameter name, rather than an abbreviated form of it, when you edit a parameter,  Parameter value checkbox: When turned on, the lower LCD line displays the full parameter value when you edit a parameter. If the “Show value units for parameter” boxes (see below) are checked, it will be appended by the measurement unit, where applicable (as examples: “dB,” “Hz,” or “%”).
 If the control surface has a Cancel or Exit button, it triggers the button labeled Cancel or Abort, where applicable.  All buttons in the modal dialog (push buttons, including Enter/default and Cancel, as well as checkboxes and radio buttons, but not pop-up menus) appear in the display’s lower row. Pressing a control surface button below the display triggers the appropriate function in the dialog, if applicable.
2 Customizing Controller Assignments 2 You can assign controllers to Logic Pro parameters, and edit controller assignments to fit you workflow. This chapter describes how to assign controllers to Logic Pro parameters, edit controller assignments, and use zones and modes to switch between groups of assignments. Assigning Controllers to Logic Pro Parameters You can assign any controller that is capable of generating a MIDI message to a parameter in Logic Pro.
Working in Easy View Easy view allows you to see, and assign, controllers to channel strip and plug-in parameters, and to change the track that assignments apply to. Assignment of controllers to channel strip and plug-in parameters is achieved through the Learn process. The Easy view of the Controller Assignments window contains the following fields and buttons: Â Expert View button: Click to open the editor in Expert view. Â Back/Forward buttons: Click to move back and forth between assignments.
3 Move the controller you want to assign to the selected parameter. Moving the controller sends a MIDI message to Logic Pro, which appears in the “Input message” field. The Learn Mode button remains active, allowing you to make further assignments. 4 To make another assignment, select the parameter you want to assign in Logic Pro, then move the desired controller on the control surface.
The dialog appears when the distance between the last two controllers matches the distance between tracks (or the number of parameters between the last two assigned, if dealing with plug-in parameters). In the above examples, the distance between 1 and 16 would equal 15. 3 Click OK to automatically fill the controllers between the first and last—with the corresponding assignments. Parameter assignment numbering (for plug-ins) is shown in the Plug-in window’s Control view.
To open the Controller Assignments window in Expert view: m Click the Expert view button. In Expert view, the Controller Assignments window contains the following fields, menus, and buttons—used to edit assignment parameters, and define zones and modes. Â Zone list: Displays the available zones for the device. The first entry “(No Zone)” is for zoneless assignments—assignments that are always active, regardless of the active zone.
 Input Message: The port and MIDI input message can be altered directly. Some fields in this section are merely displays, and cannot be changed.  Value: The range of values, and response, of the controller assignment to incoming messages is determined in this area. Feedback to the display of control surfaces can also be determined here. Controller Assignment Parameters This section outlines each parameter shown in the right-hand fields of the Expert view.
Value Section  Min and Max fields: Enter integer values—to set the range of incoming MIDI values.  Format pop-up menu: Choose the format used to encode negative values.  Multiply field: Enter a value—which will scale incoming MIDI values.  Mode pop-up menu: Choose the mode used by incoming values—to modify the current parameter value. Feedback pop-up menu and checkboxes: Choose the display format of the parameter value (on the control surface display, if applicable).
To delete an assignment in Expert view: 1 Select the assignment that you want to delete in the Control/Parameter list. 2 Choose Edit > Delete in the main menu bar (or press the Backspace key). About Zones and Modes You can define a group of controllers as a zone in Expert view, and switch all controls in a zone to different parameters—in one operation. Using a Mackie Control as an example; you can define the eight rotary encoders as a zone, and switch them between pan, send level, or plug-in parameters.
The following list illustrates one possible arrangement of zones and modes, which shows how you can define them, hierarchically: Zone 1 Zone 2 Modeless Assignment A Modeless Assignment B Mode 3 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Mode 1 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Mode 4 (active) Modal Assignment A Mode 2 (active) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Modal Assignment C Mode 5 (inactive) Modal Assignment A Modal Assignment B Modal Assignment C Modal Assignment D Defining Zones and Mo
Reassigning a Controller The procedure for reassigning an active controller (an assigned controller in the active mode) is different to that for an inactive controller (one with an assignment in a non active mode). Reassigning an Active Controller When you use the Learn process to assign an active controller (one with an assignment in the active mode), a dialog is shown: Â Cancel: Deletes the new assignment, retaining the existing assignment. Â Keep both: Retains the new and old assignments.
Label Field For supported control surfaces, shows characters that represent the label for the assignment that appears on the control surface display. Unsupported control surfaces can only send information, not receive it, and cannot display an assignment label. If the field contains constant text, it can contain any number of characters. When used as a placeholder for dynamically created text, however, the field contains three characters that represent the label.
Flip Group Field Enter the same integer value for two assignments, to define a counterpart for Flip mode (for supported control surfaces that offer Flip mode). By setting a fader and an encoder to the same flip group, for example, they are coupled. To set “none” enter a value of 0. For unsupported devices: you need to set up two active assignments, which both use the same flip group; one assignment needs to be absolute (using a fader, for example), the other relative (encoder, for example).
Global Choosing the Global class lets you use an assignment to control global parameters. A Parameter pop-up menu appears below the Class menu, offering the parameters listed in the following table. Global Options Explanation Playhead This assignment controls the position of the playhead; Feedback is sent in the format chosen in the control surface group’s Clock Display parameter. Playhead (Beats) As above, but feedback is sent in beats format.
Global Options Explanation Autopunch Toggles the Autopunch function on and off. Go to Marker Allows you to move the playhead to a marker number. An additional number field below the Parameter menu is used to determine the destination marker number. Group Clutch Sets the automation group clutch; Automation groups are disabled when the clutch is enabled. For buttons, set the group clutch to 1 when the button is pressed, and set it to 0 when the button is released.
If you choose the Fader Bank, Index, Audio, Software Instrument, Bus, Auxiliary, Output, or Master setting in the Channel Strip pop-up menu, the following two parameters become available: Â Number field: A 0-based offset, which is added to the channel strip number. The typical use for this field is for sequential controls: Fader 1 uses offset 0, Fader 2 uses offset 1, and so on. Â Parameter field: Text description of the addressed parameter.
Note: Assignments for unsupported control surfaces always belong to the first control surface group. Parameter Option Additional Info Fader Bank for Current View Maps to the fader bank for the currently used View mode. This way, you need only one assignment per left/right button for all View modes. Filter for All View When this parameter is selected, eight additional checkboxes—for the eight channel strip types—are displayed, when the View mode is All.
Input Message Section The parameters in this section let you control different aspects of MIDI input. MIDI Input Pop-up Menu When you choose a MIDI input (port) from the menu, all assignments that use the same input are changed accordingly. If the assignment belongs to a supported control surface, the device’s MIDI Input also changes in the Setup window. This makes it easy for you to create default assignments for a new control surface.
Note: This only applies to the Channel Strip assignment class, and to parameters that can be automated. Value Section The parameters in this section let you control different aspects of the values for incoming MIDI messages. Min and Max Fields Enter an integer value to set the minimum and maximum range for incoming values represented by Lo7 and Hi7. Typically, the minimum defaults to 0, and the maximum defaults to 127.
Mode Pop-up Menu Choose the mode used by incoming values—to modify the current parameter value. The choices are: Â Direct: The incoming value is used as the parameter value. Â Toggle: If the parameter’s current value is 0, it is set to the incoming value. All other values set the parameter value to 0. This option is useful for buttons which toggle a value: Mute, Solo, and so on. Â Scaled: The incoming value is scaled; from its value range to the destination parameter’s value range.
Text Feedback Checkbox When selected, a text representation of the current value is sent to the control surface’s display. The control surface display facilities determine the display position and number of characters that are used. Local Feedback (Fader/Knob) Checkbox When selected, no feedback is sent while the parameter is in Touched mode. This prevents motorized faders from “fighting” against the user. Key Repeat Checkbox When selected, the assignment is repeatedly executed.
Typically, the value range of 1 to 127 is used for the button pressed message. The zero (0) value is generally used for the button released message. Note: Some control surfaces may use different value ranges (CM Labs MotorMix, for example). Assigning appropriate Min and Max values ensures that key repeat will work with such devices.
5 You can repeat steps 2 to 4 to make additional assignments, if desired. 6 When you are finished, click the Close button to exit the window. To assign a button or key release message to a key command: 1 Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Key Commands to open the Key Commands window. 2 In the Command list, click the disclosure triangle to reveal the commands for a category, then select the key command you want to assign (or use the Search field).
3 Mackie Control 3 You can fully control Logic Pro with a Mackie Control, and can extend its functionality with several expansion devices. The information in this chapter applies to the Mackie Control Universal, the original Mackie Control, the Logic Control, and the Mackie (or Logic) Control Extender (XT). The term Mackie Control is used for all of these devices throughout the chapter. The controls of the Mackie Control are physically grouped into different areas, called zones.
4 Edit the project with the channel strip controls. See “Channel Strip Controls” on page 61 for more information. Display Zone The display zone, located along the top of the Mackie Control, features four displays. Each shows different information:  Main Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)  Assignment display  Time display  Solo LED Main Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) The main LCD is divided into eight sections (or columns, if you prefer), each with two lines of text.
You can switch between formats by pressing the SMPTE/BEATS button directly below the display. You can also set the default format with the Clock Display parameter in the Control Surface Setup window. Information on this (and other configuration options) is found in “Configuring Your Control Surface Setup” on page 22. Solo LED The Solo LED (labeled as Rude Solo on the Mackie Control), located at the right edge of the display zone, is lit when a channel strip is set to solo, or Solo mode is enabled.
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the x/ALT or OPTION buttons enters Control Surface Group Settings mode. This mode lets you edit the following control surface group settings—some of which are not accessible with a single button: Control Action V-POT 5 Sets the track name display format. Â Name: Displays the track name only. Â No:Name: Displays the track number and name. V-POT 6 Switches Channel view to Lock mode.
Channel Strip Controls Directly below the main LCD display are eight sets of channel strip controls. You can use these to control Logic Pro channel strip parameters, plug-in parameters, and other Logic Pro functions. Each channel strip includes the following controls, which are described in the following sections: Â V-Pot rotary encoder with button. Â Rec/Ready button and LED. Â Signal LED. Â Solo button and LED. Â Mute button and LED. Â Select button and LED. Â Touch-sensitive motorized fader.
Holding down the x/ALT button sets the V-Pots to high resolution (fine) mode, for parameters where this mode applies. Holding down the OPTION button and turning the V-Pot switches between the minimum, default, and maximum values for the parameter. Rec/Rdy (Record/Ready) Button Pressing the Rec/Ready button arms the channel strip for recording. If the channel is currently armed, pressing the Rec/Ready button disarms it.
SELECT Button Pressing the Select button chooses (activates) the channel for channel-based editing or assignment commands. Each Select button features a green LED which is lit when the channel is selected. Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing a channel’s SELECT button sets the channel volume to unity level (0 dB). Note: While holding down SHIFT, the SELECT button LED indicates if the channel volume is set to 0 dB.
Master Fader Controls the level of the master channel strip in the Logic Pro Mixer. This raises or lowers the level of all output channel strips, without changing their relative levels. When no master channel strip exists in the project, the Mackie Control Master fader is mapped to output channel strip 1-2. If you use multiple audio systems simultaneously, the Master fader only controls the master channel strip of the first device (matching the order shown in the Audio Preferences window).
Track Button Pressing the TRACK button selects Channel view—assigning the channel strip controls to edit channel strip parameters. Â Press the TRACK button once to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips, and to activate Mixer view. Â Press the TRACK button again to edit multiple parameters for a single channel strip, and switch to Channel view.
The following table lists what each V-Pot edits in Channel view mode: Control Action V-Pot 1 Edits volume. The current value is shown in the lower row of the LCD. V-Pot 2 Edits pan. The current value appears in the lower row of the LCD. V-Pot 3 For software instrument tracks, turn to choose the instrument. Press the V-Pot 3 button to confirm your choice/insert the instrument and open the plug-in window.
Shortcuts Menu Holding down the TRACK button displays the Track shortcuts submenu on the LCD. While this menu is active, the mode display shows “t_ ” (for Track shortcuts). Pressing one of the V-Pot or Function buttons lets you make the following changes: Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to Mixer view, and selects volume as the parameter edited by the V-Pot. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to Mixer view, and selects pan as the parameter edited by the V-Pot.
Pan/Surround Button Pressing the PAN/SURROUND button activates Pan/Surround Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly toggles between Pan/Surround Channel and Pan/Surround Mixer view. Pan/Surround Mixer View Pan/Surround Mixer view allows you to edit one pan/surround parameter of all channel strips: Angle or Pan (on non-surround channel strips), Diversity, LFE, Spread (on surround channel strips). The parameter being edited is displayed briefly when switching to this mode.
Alternate Mode Options Holding down the PAN/SURROUND button displays a submenu on the LCD. The V-Pots or Function keys allow you to make the following changes. Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to Pan/Surround Mixer view and selects Angle. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to Pan/Surround Mixer view and selects Diversity. V-Pot 3 or F3 Switches to Pan/Surround Mixer view and selects LFE level. V-Pot 4 or F4 Switches to Pan/Surround Mixer view and selects Spread.
EQ Button Pressing the EQ button activates EQ Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly toggles between EQ Channel view and EQ Mixer view. Note: If no Channel or Linear Phase EQ is present on the selected channel strip, a Channel EQ is inserted automatically when you enter EQ Channel view. EQ Mixer View EQ Mixer view allows you to edit one equalizer parameter for all channel strips: Frequency, Gain, Q, or EQ bypass.
The Left and Right cursors switch to the next or previous EQ band. The LCD displays two EQ bands. If you have one or more connected Mackie Control (XT) units, each XT can display two EQ bands—up to a total of eight. Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons. Alternate EQ Edit Mode Options Holding down the EQ button accesses a further sub-menu in the LCD. The mode display shows E_ or E_., dependent on whether you are in EQ Mixer or EQ Channel view mode.
Send Button Pressing the SEND button activates Send Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly switches between Send Channel view and Send Mixer view. Send Mixer View Send Mixer view allows you to edit one send parameter for all channel strips: Destination, Level, Position, or Mute. The Send slot number, and the parameter being edited, are displayed briefly on the LCD when switching to this mode. Â The mode display shows S1 to S8, indicating the selected Send slot.
Alternate Send Edit Mode Options Holding down the SEND button accesses a further sub-menu in the LCD: The mode display shows S_ or S_., depending on whether you are in Send Mixer view or Send Channel view. Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects destination. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects send level. V-Pot 3 or F3 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects position. V-Pot 4 or F4 Switches to Send Mixer view and selects mute.
If one or more sends are activated on multiple channels, you can switch between them while in the Channel view modes, by simply pressing the Select button of the desired channel. Plug-in Button Pressing the PLUG-IN button activates Plug-in Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly toggles between Plug-in Channel view and Plug-in Mixer view. Note: There is one exception to this behavior: If you are in Instrument Edit view, pressing this button switches to Plug-in Edit view.
To remove a plug-in: m Pre-select the “--” value (by turning the V-Pot fully counter-clockwise), then press the VPot button of the appropriate Insert slot. The Mackie Control does not switch to Plug-in Edit view, and no plug-in window is launched when the “--” value is chosen. If a plug-in window is open, it will be closed (if Link mode is inactive). Plug-in Channel View This mode shows the plug-ins associated with all Insert slots for the selected channel. Â The mode display shows the text “PL.
 Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter which can be edited via the corresponding V-Pot. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter. If there is sufficient onscreen space, the unit type will be added—Example: Hz or dB.  Turning the V-Pots will change parameter values.  Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except where the parameter only has two values (on/off, for example). In this case, pressing the V-Pot button switches between these values.
Instrument Button Pressing the INSTRUMENT button activates Instrument Mixer view, unless the Mackie Control is currently in Plug-in Edit view. In this case, pressing the INSTRUMENT button switches to Instrument Edit view. If you can’t see the software instrument channel strips, use the BANK or CHANNEL buttons in the FADER BANKS zone, or switch to All view by pressing the INSTRUMENT button. (This assumes that you have created at least one or more software instrument tracks).
To remove an instrument: 1 Pre-select the “--” value (by turning the V-Pot fully counter-clockwise). 2 Press the V-Pot button. Mackie Control will not switch to Instrument Edit view, and no plug-in window will be launched. If a plug-in window is open, it will be closed. Instrument Edit View You can view and edit instrument parameters in this mode. Â The mode display shows “In.
Fader Bank Zone This Mackie Control zone contains two sets of left and right buttons—for switching between individual or grouped channels—as well as the FLIP and GLOBAL VIEW buttons. Bank Left and Right Buttons The Mackie Control provides 8 sets of channel strip controls—allowing you to edit eight corresponding channels. The Bank Left and Right buttons enable you to move/ switch between “banks” of eight channel strips.
For views where one type of channel strip is displayed (such as audio, instruments, or busses), Logic Pro remembers the last group of eight channel strips shown in the view—and returns to it when you switch back from another view. As an example; if you start in a view with audio channel strips 4 through 11 visible, switch to an instruments view, scroll to instruments 6 through 13, and then switch back to the audio channel view, you will return to audio channel strips 4 through 11 (not 6 through 13).
Global View Button The GLOBAL VIEW button is used in conjunction with the buttons in the Global View zone. These are discussed in “Global View Zone” on page 82. Function Key Zone The Function Key zone, located below the Time display and the Display buttons, features eight function key buttons—labeled F1 through F8. The eight function key buttons are assigned as follows: Function key Action F1 to F8 Recalls screensets 1 through 8.
In modal dialogs, pressing one of the Function keys is equivalent to using the computer keyboard number keys: Function key Action F1 1 F2 2 F3 3 F4 4 F5 5 F6 6 F7 7 F8 8 The buttons located directly below the Function keys complete the numeric input functions: MIDI Tracks button 9 Inputs button 0 In some other modes, the Function keys perform other duties, such as shortcuts to markers. Please see “Marker” on page 88. Also see the tables in “Assignment Overview” on page 96.
Modifier Buttons The four Modifier buttons correspond to the modifier keys on your computer keyboard (but function independently from them). You can use these buttons, along with the appropriate key on your computer keyboard (or with the mouse), in place of using the corresponding modifier key. This also applies to the modified Mackie Control commands. All modified Mackie Control commands are covered in each function’s description.
 LATCH: Similar to Touch mode, but the control remains active—even when the fader is no longer being touched, or the V-Pot is not being turned. When you release the fader, the current fader value replaces all existing automation data—for as long as the sequencer is in playback (or record) mode. Press STOP to prevent existing automation data from being overwritten.  WRITE: Overwrites all existing automation data, or creates new automation data if none exists.
Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group, opens the Group window, and enters Group Edit mode. Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the TRACK button switches to Mixer view, with the channel strip group parameter shown. It displays the group that the selected channel strip belongs to. Multiple group membership is displayed as in the Mixer window. Turning a V-Pot changes group membership. Note: You can only select one group (or Off ) with this function.
Cancel When an alert appears on your computer screen, you can cancel (or abort) it by pressing the Cancel button. For information about alerts, see “Modal Dialog Display” on page 32. Pressing the CANCEL button when no alert is visible onscreen does the following: Â Opens the Toolbox at the current on-screen position of the mouse cursor. Â Alternately, it will perform any function currently assigned to the computer keyboard’s Esc key.
Fast Fwd Fast forwards/shuttles through the project. Pressing FAST FWD repeatedly while fast forwarding accelerates the shuttle speed. Pressing the REWIND button repeatedly— while fast forwarding—slows down, stops, and eventually reverses the shuttle direction. Pressing the STOP button halts the fast forward. Turning the Jog/Scrub Wheel also exits forward shuttle mode. When one of the Marker modes is active, pressing the FAST FWD button moves the playhead to the next marker.
Once the default audio file name has been entered, you may freely select and arm any audio channel strip, and then press the RECORD button. This will happen without the alert messages and file save dialog appearing onscreen. To avoid this situation, save your project with Assets. This will avoid the need to define file names, and makes handling faster and easier, particularly when using Logic Pro with the Mackie Control.
A recommended workflow for creating or deleting markers is to use the Jog/Scrub Wheel. Turn the wheel to move the playhead to the desired project position, and then press the appropriate V-Pot to create or delete a marker. Â For coarse placement, simply use the wheel to move the playhead. Â For fine placement, press the SCRUB button, then use the wheel to precisely position the playhead. (Only appropriate if creating or deleting an un-rounded marker).
Large Nudge Mode Pressing the NUDGE button while holding down SHIFT displays eight functions on the LCD, and assigns them to the corresponding V-Pot buttons. These functions allow you to move the selected region or events by various amounts, or to a specific position. The position of the first selected region or event is displayed above V-Pots 3 and 4. If nothing is displayed—either a window that does not allow the selection of regions or events is open, or no regions or events are selected.
The Nudge value for the REWIND and F.FWD buttons can also be defined with the function buttons: Function button Action F1 Sets Ticks. F2 Sets Division. F3 Sets Beat. F4 Sets Bar. F5 Sets Frames. F6 Sets Half Frames. Cycle Activates/deactivates Cycle mode. By default, the cycle area will fall between the first two markers. Subsequent markers can act as left/right boundaries for further cycle areas. To jump between cycle areas—defined by the markers: 1 Press the MARKER button.
    Turning V-Pot 6 changes the left locator in beats (denominator steps). Pressing V-Pot 7 picks up the current playhead position for the right locator. Turning V-Pot 7 changes the right locator in bars. Turning V-Pot 8 changes the right locator in beats (denominator steps). To return to a regular Assignment mode, press one of the Assignment buttons. Drop Activates/deactivates Autopunch mode. To navigate between punch-in areas: 1 Press the MARKER button.
Replace Activates/deactivates Replace mode. Click Enables/Disables the (MIDI or Klopfgeist) metronome click. There are independent click settings for play and record. The click settings are determined in File > Project Settings > Metronome. Pressing the SHIFT and CLICK buttons activates/deactivates both External Sync mode and transmission of MMC. Solo The SOLO button behaves as per the Solo key command. Individual channels can be soloed via the channel SOLO buttons of each channel strip.
Zoom Mode Pressing the ZOOM button enables Zoom mode. The cursor buttons are then used to change the vertical or horizontal zoom factor of the window with key focus. In the Arrange window: Â OPTION and Cursor Up/Down changes the zoom factor of the selected track. Â OPTION and Cursor Left resets the zoom factor of the selected track. Â OPTION and Cursor Right resets the zoom factor of all tracks of the same class (audio, MIDI, and so on) as the selected track.
Programmable User Modes The Mackie Control provides six programmable user modes, which you can use for your own assignments. You can activate each of these modes by holding down the SHIFT button—along with one of the Assignment buttons, as follows: Â TRACK + SHIFT = User mode 1. Â PAN/SURROUND + SHIFT = User mode 2. Â EQ + SHIFT = User mode 3. Â SEND + SHIFT = User mode 4. Â PLUG-IN + SHIFT = User mode 5. Â INSTRUMENT + SHIFT = User mode 6. The Assignment displays shows the users modes as u1, u2, and so on.

4 M-Audio iControl 4 This chapter introduces you to using the M-Audio iControl with Logic Pro. Use of the iControl in Logic Pro provides full compatibility with GarageBand projects. When you open a GarageBand project in Logic Pro, you can edit it (using the iControl) in exactly the same manner as in GarageBand. You can also take full advantage of the greater control, editing, and processing power afforded by Logic Pro.
Assignment Buttons You can use the buttons along the left side of the iControl—in the area labelled All Tracks and Selected Track—to select different functions for the rotary encoders located along the right edge, in the channel strip area. In some cases, the channel strip area controls can change the functionality of the Select buttons. Volume Button Pressing the Volume button assigns the rotary encoders (in the channel strip area) to control volume for the eight active channels.
Generator If the selected channel strip is an instrument channel strip, pressing the Generator button assigns the rotary encoders to edit the sound generation parameters of the instrument. These assignments are in groups of eight parameters. The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons switch to the previous or next page of eight parameters. Activation of the Generator button has no effect if the selected channel strip is not a software instrument channel strip.
Arrow Up and Arrow Down Buttons The iControl has channel strip controls for eight channel strips, which default to channel strips 1 to 8. To access further channel strips, press the Arrow Up button. This switches to channel strips 9 through 16. Press the Arrow Up button again to switch to channel strips 17 to 24, or press the Arrow Down button to return to channel strips 1 to 8.
Record Enable Button Pressing a channel Record Enable button (denoted by a centered white dot) arms the associated channel strip for recording. When a channel is armed for recording, the dot is lit. Pressing the Record Enable button a second time disables recording for the channel. To disarm all channel strips, hold down the Option button while pressing the Record Enable button of any channel. Mute Button Pressing a channel Mute button (denoted by a speaker icon) mutes the channel.
Mixer View and Channel View The rotary encoders operate in two views—Mixer view and Channel view. Switching between these views determines whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit separate channels, or a single channel. Â Mixer view: Accesses the same parameter for eight channel strips, such as pan or volume (normally a section of the Mixer window). Â Channel view: Accesses eight parameters of the selected channel strip.
Play/Stop Press the Play button (denoted by a right arrow) to start playback from the current playhead position—or to stop playback—if the project is currently playing. Fast Forward Button Quickly press the Fast Forward button (denoted by two right arrows) to move the playhead forward by one bar. Hold down the Fast Forward button to continuously move the playhead forward in one bar increments.
Assignment Overview The following assignment tables show all assignments for each control—with and without the Option button (for the Assignment buttons and channel strip controls)—or the Cycle button (for the Jog Wheel and Transport buttons) being pressed. Assignment Buttons The Assignment buttons in the All Tracks and Selected Tracks area defines the behavior of the channel strip controls. iControl button Modifier Function/Comments Volume — Encoders control channel’s Level fader.
