Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments 37
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.
5 When you have finished, click the Learn Mode button (or press Command-L) to
complete the Learn process, and exit learning mode.
An alternative learning method:
1 Press Command-L to open the Controller Assignments window.
2 Hold down the desired modifier (Command, for example) key as you click the
parameter you want to assign, while moving the control.
3 Click the Learn Mode button to complete the Learn process.
If Logic Pro receives a MIDI message from the device while you are holding down the
modifier key, releasing the key deactivates the Learn Mode button and completes the
Learn process. If you release the modifier key before Logic Pro receives a MIDI message,
the Learn Mode button remains active, so you can still move a controller to send a MIDI
message. In this situation, be sure to click the Learn Mode button when you are
finished—to end the Learn process.

view), and click the Delete button.
Assigning a Series of Controllers
Logic Pro includes a shortcut that makes it easy to assign a series of controllers to a
series of similar parameters. You can use this shortcut to assign a series of faders to
volume, or to assign a series of knobs to other channel strip parameters such as; pan,
solo, or mute, or to assign a series of controllers to a set of plug-in parameters:
To assign a series of controllers to a series of parameters:
1 Following the standard assignment procedure, assign the first controller in the series to
the first parameter (assign fader 1 to control volume for channel strip 1, for example).
2 Assign the last controller in the series to the last parameter (assign fader 16 to control
volume for channel strip 16, for example). The number of controllers between the first
and last in the series must match the number of parameters between the first and last
parameter.
A “Do you want to fill up in between?” dialog is shown.
