Euphonix: Understanding the Fader Strips
The number of fader strips differs across each of the Euphonix devices. The following
section outlines the behavior of some fader strip elements in Logic Pro.
Note: This section is limited to descriptions of features specific to Logic Pro. Refer to the
Euphonix user documentation for information about basic fader behavior.
• On key: The On key provides the same function as the Mute button in Logic Pro, but
behaves in a way that may not be expected.
• The track is unmuted when the On key is lit (the Logic Pro Mute button is unlit).
• The track is muted when the On key is unlit (the Logic Pro Mute button is lit).
• L LED: On MC Professional devices, when the Logic Pro channel strip being controlled
by the fader belongs to an automation group, the L LED of the channel strip is
illuminated.
• “Touching fader selects track”: The “Touching fader selects track” preference of Logic Pro
(Logic Pro > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Preferences) does not apply to the
Euphonix devices when they are used with the EuCon protocol. This function is offered
by the individual devices, using the device’s “Select channel by touching fader/joystick”
or “Select by Touch” General preference. This is the same as pressing the Select/Sel key.
Euphonix: Opening and Closing Plug-in Windows
Logic Pro supports the Euphonix “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” and “Close
plug-ins on workstation when exiting” preferences.
If the Link button is enabled in an open plug-in window:
• “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” does not open a new window when a
new plug-in is selected, but replaces the open window’s contents.
• “Close plug-ins on workstation when exiting” does nothing.
If the Link button is disabled in an open plug-in window:
• “Open plug-ins on workstation when editing” opens a new plug-in window.
