Preface An Introduction to Control Surfaces You can use hardware control surfaces to control and automate transport, mixing, recording, and other tasks in Logic Pro. All Logic mixer controls, such as level and pan, can be adjusted onscreen—using your mouse and computer keyboard. This is not, however, an ideal method for precise real-time control. You can enhance your creative flow and achieve greater flexibility and precision by connecting a hardware control surface to your computer.
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 makes 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. Note: When you use a supported control surface with Logic Pro, some controls are premapped to common functions.
Release Notes and New Features Documents Each application offers detailed documentation that covers new or changed features and functions. This documentation can be accessed in the following location: • Click the Release Notes and New Features links in the application Help menu. Logic Pro Website For general information and updates, as well as the latest news on Logic Pro, go to: • http://www.apple.
Basic Control Surface Setup 1 Regardless of the control surface being used, you first need to connect, add, and configure your device for use with Logic Pro. This chapter describes the setup procedures and preferences that are common to all control surfaces. Setup information for specific devices is covered elsewhere in the documentation. Note: Read this chapter first, and then read through the chapter that pertains to your specific device. This chapter covers the following: • Getting Started (p.
• For devices that are only equipped with MIDI ports (such as a Mackie Control), a MIDI interface with free MIDI input and output ports for each device. For example, if you’re using a MIDI interface with 8 MIDI input ports and 8 MIDI output ports—with one Mackie Control and one Mackie Control XT unit—you will need to use two of the interface’s MIDI In ports, and two of its MIDI Out ports.
Connecting FireWire and USB Control Surfaces If your control surface has a FireWire or USB port, you can connect it directly to your computer, using a cable with the appropriate connectors. FireWire and USB devices transmit and receive data through a single cable, if the device supports bidirectional communication.
Connecting MIDI Control Surfaces If your control surface has MIDI input and output ports, you can connect it to a MIDI interface, and connect the MIDI interface to your computer. MIDI interfaces are typically connected to your computer via the USB or FireWire connection protocols. MIDI uses separate ports for input and output, and you must connect both the MIDI input and output to use the device with Logic Pro.
Adding Control Surfaces to Logic Pro Some control surfaces (such as the Mackie Control) are detected automatically when you open Logic Pro. You can add other devices that are not detected automatically using the Setup window. Installation is easy (and is covered in the setup section of the chapter for your particular device).
Note: You can reinitialize the support of all connected control surfaces by choosing Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Rebuild Defaults. Creating Control Surface Groups If you have multiple control surface units in your system, you can define how they relate to each other, and create control surface groups. A control surface group consists of multiple devices that you combine to create a single, unified virtual control surface. You can create up to 20 control surface groups.
Pictured below is a multiple group example with two Mackie Controls, three Mackie Control XTs, and one HUI: 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.
Once you have created a control surface group, you can configure it in the Setup window. For more information, see Control Surface Group Parameters. Configuring Your Control Surface Setup The left side of the Setup window contains two or three parameter areas: 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 Parameters area contains the following items: • Out Port: Choose the MIDI output port from the pop-up menu. • Input: Choose the MIDI input port from the pop-up menu. • Module: Shows the name of the control surface. • Model: Shows the model name of the control surface. • Version: Shows the firmware version for some control surfaces. • Color: Click to choose the color that indicates which tracks are being controlled by this control surface.
Control Surface Group Parameters If you have created one or more control surface groups, you can configure group parameters in the Control Surface Group Parameters area. These parameters apply to the group associated with the selected device, and allow you to set up each group to meet your needs. This is especially helpful when you have multiple control surface groups. Many (if not all) control surface group parameters can also be changed directly from the control surface, as well as from the Setup window.
Control Surface Group Display Parameters The parameters at the top of the Control Surface Group Parameters area give you control over aspects of the device displays. • Flip Mode: Choose the functions for the faders and rotary encoders of the channel strips on the device. For control surfaces that contain a fader and a rotary encoder for each channel strip, Flip mode allows you to assign both controls to the same parameter, or swap their assignments.
• Channel Strip View Mode: Choose one of the following view modes: • 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. 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.
• 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.: Encoders adjust the automation parameter selected in the Arrange window.
If your control surface does not display all EQ parameters at once, you view them by stepping through the parameter pages in sequence. For 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.
• Instrument Parameter Page: Determines which parameter is assigned to the leftmost encoder when editing a software instrument. The next instrument parameter is assigned to encoder 2, and so on. This applies to Split Upper when Split mode is turned on. • Inst Parameter Page (Split Lower): Sets the parameter that is assigned to the leftmost encoder of Split Lower when editing a software instrument (when Split mode is turned on). The next instrument parameter is assigned to encoder 2, and so on.
Control Surface Group Other Parameters The parameters at the bottom of the Control Surface Group Parameters area let you set the Track Name Format, Parameter Page Shift Mode, Relative Change Mode, Mix Group, and Group Parameter Page parameters. • Track Name Format: Determines whether the track name display shows only the track name, or the track name and number. • Parameter Page Shift Mode: Determines whether the parameter is shifted by one page or by one parameter.
µ To temporarily disable your control surfaces Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Bypass all Control Surfaces. This command is useful for silencing motorized control surface faders when recording in the same room. It is also handy when troubleshooting MIDI data errors, or for reducing MIDI bandwidth requirements. General Preferences General control surface preferences include resolution of relative controls, maximum MIDI bandwidth, and other functions.
• “Touching fader selects track” checkbox: When this option is selected, touching a fader on the control surface selects the track corresponding to the fader. For this to work, the device must feature touch-sensitive faders. • “Control surface follows track selection” checkbox: When this checkbox is selected, selecting a track in the Arrange window automatically selects the corresponding track or channel on the control surface.
Using more than one encoder per parameter shows fewer parameters at any given time, but you gain space on the LCD to cater to longer parameter names and values. The more control surfaces you have within a control surface group, the more you benefit from this feature. • “Only when all parameters fit in one page” checkbox: When selected, the defined number of encoders are only used when there are sufficient encoders available to show all parameters, without changing pages.
Help Tags Preferences For control surfaces that feature freely programmable displays with more than six characters per line (or segment) of the display, you can change the way help tags are shown. Control surface help tags are similar to Logic Pro help tags, showing additional information during use. • “While editing show long names for” checkboxes: The two checkboxes in this section allow you to set how the names and values of parameters are displayed on the LCD of the control surface.
• “Show info for multiple parameters” checkbox: When selected, the long name information appears in the display until the most recently edited parameter’s display times out. This may cause overlapping text. When unselected, the long name display is only shown for the most recently edited parameter, which can cause screen flicker.
Control Surface Usage Tips You may find that using control surfaces changes the way you use Logic Pro. Slight changes to your working methods can help you to use control surfaces more effectively. The following hints may streamline your Logic Pro control surface workflow. Customize Your Templates • Set up screensets 1–7 as your most frequently used screensets. You can access these directly on some control surfaces.
Supported devices Manufacturer Notes 01X Yamaha The Yamaha 01X emulates a Mackie Control. It does not feature all controls available to the Mackie units, however. Refer to the 01X documentation for details. Logic Pro recognizes the 01X as an 01X, and displays a custom icon, but communication is as with a Mackie Control unit. See Mackie Control. 02R96 Yamaha The Yamaha 02R96 emulates three HUI units, using three virtual MIDI In and Out connections over its USB cable. See Yamaha 02R96.
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 later, you can freely use either the Logic Control or Mackie Control mode. See Mackie Control.
About 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 shortcut menu.
Customizing Controller Assignments 2 You can assign controllers to Logic Pro parameters, and edit controller assignments to fit your workflow. This section explains how to assign controllers to Logic parameters, edit controller assignments, and use zones and modes to switch between groups of assignments. This chapter covers the following: • Assigning Controllers to Logic Pro Parameters (p. 37) • Controller Assignments: Working in Easy View (p. 38) • Controller Assigments: Working in Expert View (p.
You can assign controllers to parameters in Logic’s Controller Assignments window, using the Learn process. The Controller Assignments window has two views: a compact Easy view, where you can assign channel strip and plug-in parameters; and the more extensive Expert view, where you can create and edit any type of controller assignment, including global, automation, and control surface group assignments.
Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Easy View Only one set of assignment parameters is visible at a time in Easy view. You use the Learn process to assign controllers to channel strip and plug-in parameters. The Learn process basically involves moving a controller on your control surface. This sends a MIDI message to Logic Pro, thus “teaching” Logic Pro which controller you are assigning to the chosen parameter.
µ To delete a controller assignment in Easy view Select the assignment you want to remove in the Controller Assignments window (Easy view), and click the Delete button. Assigning a Series of Controllers in Easy View Logic Pro includes a shortcut that makes it easy to assign a series of controllers to a series of similar parameters.
Controller Assigments: Working in Expert View You can use Expert view to make advanced controller assignments. These include Logic Pro parameters other than channel strip and plug-in parameters. For example, 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.
• Mode list: Displays the modes for the currently selected zone. The first entry “(No Mode)” is for modeless assignments. Select a mode in the list to see its assignments in the Control/Parameter list, and make it the selected zone’s active mode. You can also double-click a mode to rename it. See Getting to Know Zones and Modes. • Control/Parameter list: Select the assignment you want to edit.
Controller Assignments Window Expert View Settings This section outlines each parameter shown in the fields on the right side of the Controller Assignments window when in Expert view. Detailed descriptions of each parameter can be found in Using the Control Name and Label Fields. Controller Assignment Parameter Area The area at the top right shows the following parameters: • Control Name field: Displays the name of the controller for supported devices. For unsupported devices, Learned is displayed.
• Label field: Displays characters that represent the label for the assignment on the control surface’s display. You can view this much like a scribble strip on a mixer. See Using the Control Name and Label Fields. • Flip Group field: Enter an integer to define a flip group for the assignment. See Setting the Flip Group and Exclusive Parameters. • Class pop-up menu: Choose the class of parameter (parameter type) you want to assign. See Setting Class Pop-Up Menu Parameters.
Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Expert View You can use the Learn process to assign controllers when the Controller Assignments window is in Expert view, just as you would in Easy view. You can also assign controllers to classes of Logic Pro parameters that are not accessible in Easy view. To learn a controller for a non-channel strip or plug-in parameter 1 Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments (or use Command-K), and click the Expert View button.
Getting to Know 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, all in one operation. Using a Mackie Control, for example, you can define the eight rotary encoders as a zone, and switch them between pan, send level, and plug-in parameters. You can also define multiple zones for a control surface: one for the encoders, and a second one that switches the function keys (F1 to F8) to different functions.
The following example illustrates one possible arrangement of zones and modes, and 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
A new, blank zone appears in the Zone list. It is highlighted, allowing you to immediately rename it. 2 Enter a name for the zone. If you want to add controllers to the zone, see Assigning and Deleting Controllers in Expert View. To define a mode 1 Click the Add button in the lower-left corner of the Mode list. A new, blank mode appears in the Mode list. It is highlighted, allowing you to immediately rename it. 2 Enter a name for the mode.
This is typically used as follows: Supported control surfaces generally have empty user pages available, allowing for new encoder assignments. You would select a particular user page mode (page 3, for example), and then learn an assignment for the encoder. Using the Control Name and Label Fields The following describes the use and options available for the Control Name and Label fields in the Controller Assignment Parameter area at the top right of the Expert View window.
The following table shows the possible meaning for the third character.
Mode Change Choosing the Mode Change class lets you use an assignment to switch from one mode to another. An additional Mode pop-up menu appears below the Class pop-up menu, allowing you to choose between available modes. For example, the assignment buttons on a Mackie Control can be used to choose different modes for the encoders. Note: The mode chosen in the Mode pop-up menu is only activated when the Value section: Mode menu is set to Direct.
Global options Explanation Punch In Locator Sets punch in locator. Punch Out Locators Sets punch out locator. Marker Position Edits position of current marker. Marker Length Edits length of current marker. Global options Explanation Nudge selected Regions/Events Nudges the selected regions or events by the chosen nudge value. (See below.) Any Solo Feedback only. On if any (track or region) Solo button is active.
Global options Explanation Vertical Zoom Sets vertical zoom in the key focus window (if this parameter is available). Channel Strip Choosing the Channel Strip class lets you use an assignment to set a channel strip parameter. A Channel Strip pop-up menu appears below the Class pop-up menu, offering the following parameters. Channel strip type Explanation Selected track Normally corresponds to the selected Arrange track.
Key Choosing the Key class lets you use assignments to emulate keystrokes on your computer keyboard. You can enter the key to emulate in the Key field, which appears below the Class pop-up menu. This is not case-sensitive. Key Command Choosing the Key Command class lets you use an assignment to perform a key command. You can enter the key command in the Command field, which appears below the Class pop-up menu. Some key commands provide on/off or enabled/disabled feedback.
• By Bank: The fader bank or parameter page is shifted by the number of displayed channel strips or parameters. • CS Group Setting: The fader bank or parameter page is shifted by the value defined for the Parameter Page Shift Mode control surface group parameter. Automation Group Choosing the Automation Group class allows you to use the assignment to set an automation group parameter. When this class is chosen, a Group field appears below the Class pop-up menu.
For messages containing only a Lo7 placeholder, the value is treated as 7 bit. For messages containing both a Lo7 and Hi7 placeholder, the value is treated as 14 bit. The order of Lo7 and Hi7 is honored, and there may be constant bytes in between. This allows you to define Control Change LSB and MSB portions. For example, B0 08 Hi7 B0 28 Lo7 indicates a 14-bit message.
• 1’s complement: If the most significant bit is set, the value is negative. To set the absolute value, invert all bits. Note that this allows two possible encoding values for zero. The value range is –127 to 127 (7 bit) or –8191 to 8191 (14 bit). • Sign Magnitude: If the most significant bit is set, the value is negative. To set the absolute value, clear the most significant bit. Note that this allows two possible encoding values for zero.
Feedback Pop-Up Menu Choose the display format for the parameter’s current value (on the control surface display). The choices are: • None: No feedback is sent. • Single Dot/Line: LED rings: only one LED; LCDs: a single vertical line. • Left to Right Bar: A bar from the minimum to the current value. • Bar from Center: A bar from the center position to the current value. • Right to Left Bar: A bar from the current value to the maximum. • Q/Spread: Two equal bars from the center to the current value.
Note: The Key Repeat checkbox is only available for key commands, key presses, and relative value changes. If any other assignment class is selected, the checkbox is dimmed. The default key command assignments support the Key Repeat function (if useful or applicable to the control surface or device), making changes unnecessary for use of this functionality. If you want to enable the Key Repeat function for your own assignments, you may need to use the re-learn option for the assigned message.
To assign a control surface button 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 next to the category whose commands you want to reveal, then select the key command you want to assign. You can also search for the key command in the Search field. 3 Click the Learn New Assignment button. 4 Press the (control surface) button that you want to assign to the key command.
To delete a key command assignment 1 In the Key Commands window, select the key command (with an assignment that you want to delete) in the Command list. 2 Select the assignment for the key command in the Assignments field. 3 Press the Delete key. Controller Assignments Storage The current controller assignments and all Control Surfaces preferences are stored in the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.logic.pro.cs file.
Mackie Control 3 You can fully control Logic Pro with a Mackie Control, and can extend its functionality with several expansion devices, such as the XT and C4 units. 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.
Setting Up Your Mackie Control in Logic Pro When you open Logic Pro, it automatically detects any powered Mackie Control unit that is connected to your system. You can use the Mackie Control immediately—with the default settings—or you can customize its settings, as described in Basic Control Surface Setup, and Customizing Controller Assignments.
In some modes, a long parameter name (or other text) appears briefly onscreen while you are moving the corresponding control. You can set the display and duration of long parameter names in the Control Surfaces preferences. For information on setting preferences, see Basic Control Surface Setup. Note: On the LCD, 8-bit ASCII characters such as curly quotes and umlauts are replaced with the best-possible 7-bit ASCII equivalent.
Pressing the NAME/VALUE button while holding the SHIFT button cycles through three level meter modes on the main LCD: • Vertical: In this mode, the last character of each channel (in both LCD rows) is overlaid by a vertical bar which shows the channel level. The text characters reappear when the level meter is not visible. • Horizontal with Peak Hold: In this mode, the lower row of the LCD is replaced by horizontal channel level bars. Peak Hold appears as a hollow box, which disappears after a few seconds.
You can exit Control Surface Group Settings mode by pressing NAME/VALUE, or by entering one of the Marker or Nudge modes. SMPTE/BEATS Press the SMPTE/BEATS button, located just below the SMPTE/BEATS LEDs, to switch between the two time formats (SMPTE time or beats). For more information, see Mackie Control: Time Display. Mackie Control: Channel Strip Controls Directly below the main LCD display are eight sets of channel strip controls.
The current value of the parameter you are adjusting with the V-Pot is displayed on the main LCD (depending on the Name/Value setting), and is also indicated by the ring of LEDs encircling the V-Pot. The way that parameter values are displayed on the LED ring varies depending on the type of parameter being displayed. Holding down the CMD/ALT button sets the V-Pots to high-resolution (fine) mode, for parameters where this mode applies.
Mackie Control: 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 the SHIFT button, the SELECT button LED indicates if the channel volume is set to 0 dB.
Mackie Control: Master Fader The Master fader controls the level of the primary 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.
Mackie Control: TRACK Button Pressing the TRACK button selects Channel view, and assigns the channel strip controls to edit channel strip parameters. • Press the TRACK button once to edit a single parameter in multiple channel strips, and to activate Mixer view. • Press the TRACK button again to edit multiple parameters for a single channel strip, and switch to Channel view.
Control Action V-Pot 4 For audio and software instrument tracks, turn to choose the plug-in used on Insert slot 1. Press the V-Pot 4 button to confirm your choice, insert the effect, and open the plug-in window. V-Pot 5 For audio and software instrument tracks, turn to choose the plug-in used on Insert slot 2. Press the V-Pot 4 button to confirm your choice, insert the effect, and open the plug-in window. V-Pot 6 Edits the send level of Send 1. V-Pot 7 Edits the send level of Send 2.
Control Action V-Pot 5 or F5 Switches to Mixer view, and selects the output assignment as the parameter edited by the V-Pot. V-Pot 6 or F6 Switches to Mixer view, and selects the automation mode as the parameter edited by the V-Pot. V-Pot 7 or F7 Switches to Mixer view, switches Logic Pro to Arrange view, and selects the automation parameter selected in the Arrange window. V-Pot 8 or F8 Switches to Channel Strip Setup view.
• Turning the V-Pots changes the current pan/surround parameter. • The Surround Angle parameter rotates between 0 and 359 degrees, avoiding any angle limits. • Pressing the button on a V-Pot sets the parameter to its default value. • Cursor Left/Cursor Right switches to the next or previous surround parameter. The selected parameter appears briefly in the upper row of the LCD. Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
Control Action V-Pot 7 or F6 Switches to Surround Angle/Diversity Mixer view. • The mode display shows “Ad” (Angle/Diversity). • The upper LCD row shows channel strip names. • The lower LCD row shows the surround angle currently assigned to each channel strip. • Turning a V-Pot changes the surround angle (or adjusts pan position on non-surround channel strips). • Pressing a V-Pot sets the surround angle to its default value. • The faders edit surround diversity.
• Turning the V-Pots changes the current EQ parameter. • Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value. • Cursor Up/Cursor Down switches to the next or previous EQ band. • Cursor Left/Cursor Right switches to the next or previous EQ parameter. The selected parameter is displayed briefly in the upper LCD row. • Pressing a MUTE button while holding down the SHIFT button switches the current EQ band’s Bypass status.
Control Action V-Pot 1 or F1 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects frequency. V-Pot 2 or F2 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects gain. V-Pot 3 or F3 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects Q. V-Pot 4 or F4 Switches to EQ Mixer view and selects bypass. V-Pot 6 or F6 Switches to EQ Channel view. V-Pot 7 or F7 Switches to Frequency/Gain Mixer view. In this mode, you can edit the frequency and gain parameters of a specific EQ band (1 to 8) for all channel strips.
• Pressing a V-Pot confirms the preselected send destination, and sets the other send parameters to their defaults. • Cursor Up/Cursor Down switches to the next or previous Send slot. • Cursor Left/Cursor Right switches to the next or previous send parameter. The selected parameter appears briefly in the upper LCD row. • Pressing a MUTE button while holding down the SHIFT button switches the current send’s mute status.
Control Action 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. V-Pot 5 or F5 Switches to Send Channel view. V-Pot 6 or F6 Switches to Send Channel Strip 2 view: This mode is similar to Send Channel view, but parameters are arranged in a slightly different way. You can control one parameter for all Send slots used in the selected channel strip. • The mode display shows “SE.” (Send channel strip).
Mackie Control: PLUG-IN Button Pressing the PLUG-IN button activates Plug-in Mixer view. Pressing the button repeatedly switches between Plug-in Mixer view and Plug-in Channel 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. For more information, see Instrument Edit View. Plug-in Mixer View In this mode, you can view and edit the plug-ins associated with a particular Insert slot for all channels.
Plug-in Channel View This mode shows the plug-ins associated with all Insert slots for the selected channel. • The mode display shows the text “PL.” • The upper LCD row shows Ins1Pl through Ins8Pl. • The lower LCD row shows the plug-in that is currently selected for this Insert slot. Muted plug-ins are indicated by an asterisk (*), which precedes the plug-in name. • Turning the V-Pots preselects a new plug-in. The plug-in name flashes until activated.
• Turning the V-Pots changes parameter values. • Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except when the parameter only has two values (on/off, for example). In this case, pressing the V-Pot button switches between these values. • The Cursor Left/Cursor Right buttons switch to the next or previous parameter page. Note: Ensure that the ZOOM button isn’t active when using the cursor buttons.
If you can’t see the software instrument channel strips, use the BANK or CHANNEL buttons in the Fader Bank 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.) Instrument Mixer View In this mode, you can view and edit the Instrument slots of all channels. • The mode display shows “In” (for instrument). • The upper LCD row shows channel strip names. • The lower LCD row shows the currently selected instrument.
• Value: The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter that can be edited with the V-Pot below. The lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter being edited. If there is sufficient space on the LCD row, the unit type is shown after the value; for example, Hz or dB. • Turning a V-Pot changes the corresponding parameter. • Pressing a V-Pot button sets the parameter to its default value, except when the parameter only has two values (on/off, for example).
This way, you always revert to the channel strips you expect to find, and are comfortable with. Notes on Using the FADER BANKS Buttons When holding down the OPTION button, pressing the BANK or CHANNEL LEFT button jumps to the first set of channel strips in the project. Pressing the BANK or CHANNEL RIGHT button jumps to the last set of channel strips in the project.
Mackie Control: FLIP Button Press the FLIP button (alone, or in combination with a modifier key) to activate or deactivate one of the following modes: Flip, Swap, or Zero. Flip Mode Pressing the FLIP button activates Flip mode. In Flip mode, the current assignments of the eight V-Pots are mirrored by the eight channel faders, so that both control the same parameter. Turning one of the V-Pots causes the corresponding fader to move, and vice versa.
Mackie Control: 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.
Function key Action 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 actions, such as shortcuts to markers. For more information, see Mackie Control: Marker Button. Also see the tables in Mackie Control: Assignment Overview.
Mackie Control: 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 modified Mackie Control commands. A generic description of each button follows: • SHIFT: Provides an alternate function or meaning for a button.
• 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.
If Group Edit mode is off, holding down the GROUP button and pressing one or more SELECT buttons allows you to create a new group. Pressing the GROUP button while holding down the SHIFT button creates a new group, opens the Group window, and activates 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.
CANCEL Button 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. Pressing the CANCEL button when no alert is visible onscreen does the following: • Opens the Toolbox at the current onscreen position of the pointer. • Alternately, it will perform any function currently assigned to the computer keyboard’s Esc (Escape) key.
Mackie Control: FAST FWD Button The FAST FWD button lets you fast forward through your 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 process. Turning the Jog/Scrub Wheel also exits forward shuttle mode.
After the default audio filename has been entered, you can freely select and arm any audio channel strip, and then press the RECORD button. No alert messages and file save dialogs will appear onscreen. Tip: To minimize the appearance of the dialog, save your project with Assets before you start recording. Saving your project this way bypasses the need to define filenames, and makes handling faster and easier when using Logic Pro with the Mackie Control.
• For fine placement, press the SCRUB button, then use the wheel to precisely position the playhead. (This technique is only appropriate if creating or deleting an unrounded marker.) For more information about using the Jog/Scrub Wheel, see Mackie Control: Jog/Scrub Wheel Zone. Large Marker mode is terminated by pressing the MARKER button again.
The functions are as follows: Control Label Action V-Pot 1 Nudge Selects the nudge value used by the REWIND and FAST FWD buttons. These buttons move the selected objects backward/forward by the defined value. V-Pot 2 Pickup Moves to the current playhead position. V-Pot 3 Bar Moves by one bar. V-Pot 4 Beat Moves by the current project denominator value (beats). V-Pot 5 Division Moves by the current project division value. V-Pot 6 Ticks Moves by single ticks.
Mackie Control: CYCLE Button This button activates and deactivates Cycle mode. By default, the cycle area falls between the first two markers. Subsequent markers can act as left and right boundaries for further cycle areas. To jump between cycle areas defined by the markers 1 Press the MARKER button. 2 Press the CYCLE button, and when active (as indicated by the LED), press the REWIND or FAST FWD button.
To navigate between punch in areas 1 Press the MARKER button. 2 Press the DROP button, and when active (as indicated by the lit LED), press the FAST FWD or REWIND button. µ To set the punch in or punch out locator to the current playhead position Hold down the DROP button and press FAST FWD or REWIND. This also activates Autopunch mode. To quickly define a new punch in area 1 Navigate to the desired punch in locator position with the Jog/Scrub Wheel. 2 Press the DROP and REWIND buttons.
Press the SHIFT and CLICK buttons to activate or deactivate both External Sync mode and transmission of MMC. The SOLO button behaves as per the Solo key command. Individual channels can be soloed with the SOLO buttons on each channel strip. MIDI or audio regions can be selected, and soloed, along with the selected channels. Each channel features an independent SOLO LED, which is lit when a channel strip is soloed.
Mackie Control: Computer Arrow Key Emulation To use the cursor buttons as a replacement for the computer keyboard arrow keys, hold down the SHIFT button. When SHIFT and ZOOM are pressed, the cursor buttons enter Permanent Cursor Key mode—they mimic the computer arrow keys without the need to hold down the SHIFT button. The ZOOM button LED flashes when in this mode. You can deactivate this mode by pressing the ZOOM button.
To create an assignment in one of the user modes 1 Activate the user mode you want to use by holding down the SHIFT button and pressing one of the Assignment buttons, as listed above. 2 In Logic Pro, use the Learn process to create one or more assignments, as described in Assigning Controllers to Logic Pro Parameters.

M-Audio iControl 4 This chapter introduces you to using the M-Audio iControl with Logic Pro. Use of the iControl with Logic Pro simplifies work 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.
Editing Plug-in Parameters Using the M-Audio iControl In addition to editing volume, pan, and other channel strip functions, the iControl lets you edit any plug-in that can be automated in Logic Pro. Many Logic Pro effect and instrument plug-ins, and those of third-party manufacturers, feature dozens of parameters. You can access each of these parameters with the iControl.
Note: The assignments for Encoder 1 and 2 are optimized for GarageBand Real Instrument tracks, which have a default Noise Gate and Compressor effect inserted. • Encoder 3: Not assigned • Encoder 4: Not assigned • Encoder 5: Controls the Pan knob of the channel. • Encoder 6: Controls the send level for the first send of the channel. • Encoder 7: Controls the send level for the second send of the channel. • Encoder 8: Controls the Volume fader of the channel.
EQ Button Pressing the EQ button allows you to edit the EQ parameters of the selected channel strip. If a Channel or Linear Phase EQ exists on the selected channel strip, pressing the EQ button opens the EQ plug-in window. If no Channel or Linear Phase EQ exists on the selected channel strip, a Channel EQ is inserted automatically. The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons switch to the next or previous parameter page.
Select Button Pressing a channel Select button selects the channel for channel-based editing or assignment commands. When a channel is selected, “Sel” is lit on the button. Note: If the Track Info button is illuminated, the Select buttons behave differently. See Track Info Button for details. 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.
M-Audio iControl: Mixer View and Channel View The rotary encoders operate in two views: Mixer view and Channel view. The view you’re in determines whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit multiple channels, or a single channel. • Mixer view: Accesses the same parameter for eight channel strips, such as pan or volume (normally a section of the Mixer window). • Channel view: Accesses eight parameters of the selected channel strip.
Fast Forward Button Quickly press the Fast Forward button (denoted by two right arrows) to move the playhead forward by one bar.
