General
ThefollowingsectionoutlinestheGeneralcontrolsurfacepreferences.
ResolutionofRelativeControls
Thisdefinesthedefaultresolutionofcontrolsthatchangevaluesinarelativemanner.
Thedefaultis128 steps.
Asanexample:adjustingtheSampleDelay(valuerange0to4000ms)in/decreases
thevalueby40mswitheveryencoderrotation“tick,”ifresolutionissetto100.
MaximumMIDIBandWidth
ThissliderdeterminesthemaximumamountofMIDIbandwidththatcanbeusedby
yourcontrolsurface.Bydefault,thisissetto50%,whichshouldbesuitableformost
situations.YoucanadjustthevalueifyoufindthatyourMIDIorautomationplaybackis
beingaffected.
Touchingfaderselectstrack
Activationofthisparameterwillautomaticallyselectthetrackthatcorrespondstothe
selectedfader.Yourequireadevicethatfeaturestouch-sensitivefadersforthis
functionalitytowork.
Jogresolutiondependsonhorizontalzoom
Ifyourcontrolsurfacefeaturesajog/shuttlewheel(orsimilar),theprecisionofany
scrubbingisaffectedbythehorizontalzoomlevelofLogic.Toretainaconsistent
resolution,regardlessofLogicwindowzoomlevels,disablethischeckbox.
PickupMode
Ifyourcontrolsurfacedoesnotfeaturemotorizedfadersandknobs,parameter
changes—causedbyplayingbackexistingautomation—arenotreflectedonits
surface.
SuchcontrolsurfacesusuallyofferaPickupmode.InPickupmode,thecurrentvalue
mustbereached(“pickedup”)bythecontrolsurfacebeforeavaluechangecanoccur.
Thispreventssudden“jumps”ofparametervaluesafterparameterchangescausedby
playingbackautomation.Adisplay(usuallyapairofLED’s)willindicatethedirection/
distanceyouneedtomovethecontrollertomatch(alsoknownas“NULL”)thesettings
showninLogic.Onceyouhavematchedtheonscreenvalues,deactivatePickupmode,
andstartautomating.
