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.
• Ascending Bar: A bar from the bottom to the current value.
• Descending Bar: A bar from the top to the current value.
• Text Only: LED rings: no feedback; LCDs: no feedback as a graphics element.
• Automatic: Dependent on the currently assigned parameter, the most suitable feedback
mode is used: Plug-in and Instrument parameters carry this information, Pan displays
a Single Dot/Line, and all other parameters display a bar that runs from left to right
(Left to Right Bar).
Note: Feedback only works for supported control surfaces, and not all settings are available
for all controls.
Text Feedback Checkbox
When selected, a text representation of the current value is sent to the control surface’s
display. The control surface display capabilities determine the display position and number
of characters that are used.
Local Feedback (Fader/Knob) Checkbox
When selected, no feedback is sent while the parameter is in Touch mode. This prevents
motorized faders from “fighting” against the user.
Key Repeat Checkbox
When selected, the assignment is repeatedly executed. The Key Repeat Rate slider—set
in the Mac OS X Keyboard & Mouse preferences—determines how quickly Logic Pro
repeats the assignment. The duration that the button/controller must be held for, before
the assignment is repeated, is set with the Delay Until Repeat slider in the Keyboard &
Mouse preferences.
Key Repeat is particularly useful for the zoom function. For example, if you assign a Key
Repeat command to the Mackie Control Zoom buttons, holding down the Zoom In button
will continuously zoom in the Logic Pro window until the button is released. This mirrors
the behavior of the Zoom key commands. The alternative is to repeatedly press the
(Mackie Control) Zoom buttons to zoom in or out more than one level.
