38 Chapter 2 Customizing Controller Assignments
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.
Note: You can only use shortcuts for knobs that send a single channel message, where
the first data byte is the controller number and the second data byte is the value.
Alternatively, the controller number can be encoded in the MIDI channel, with a fixed
first data byte. Consult the documentation that came with your device for information
on its data structure.
Working in Expert View
You can make use of Expert view to make advanced controller assignments. This
includes Logic Pro parameters other than channel strip and plug-in parameters. As
examples, you can assign controllers to global, automation, and control surface group
parameters in Expert view. You can also extensively edit controller assignments in
Expert view, and define zones and modes, which let you switch between groups of
controllers.
The Learn process opens the Controller Assignments window in Easy view, which
shows the basic parameters for the current assignment. To make assignments other
than channel strip or plug-in assignments (or to edit other assignment parameters),
you need to switch to Expert view.
∏ Tip: You can only switch back to Easy view if a track or plug-in parameter is selected.
