Assigning Controllers in Expert View
Expert view allows you to assign controllers as you would in Easy view—using the
Learn process. You can also (manually) assign controllers to classes of Logic Pro
parameters that are not accessible in Easy view.
To assign a controller to a non channel strip or plug-in parameter:
1 Open the Controller Assignments window in Expert view.
2 Choose the desired zone and/or mode (unless you want to make a modeless
assignment), and click the plus button at the lower-left corner of the Control/Parameter
list.
A new, blank assignment appears in the Control/Parameter list.
3 Click the Learn Mode button to start the Learn process.
4 Move the controller you want to assign to the selected parameter.
Moving the controller sends a MIDI message to Logic Pro (thus “teaching” Logic Pro
which controller you are assigning). The MIDI message appears in the Input message
field. The Learn Mode button remains active, allowing you to make further
assignments.
5 Once Logic Pro has received the message, choose the class of parameter you want to
assign from the Class pop-up menu.
6 Assign the parameter by making appropriate choices in the menus and fields that
appear below the Class menu.
Note: A detailed explanation of classes and other assignment parameters can be found
in “Editing Controller Assignments in Expert View” on page 44.
7 When you are finished, click the Learn Mode button (or press Command-L) to complete
the Learn process.
You can use the shortcut—described in “Assigning a Series of Controllers” on
page 37—to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
