Forliveuse,controlsurfacesareideal.Theperformingmusicianonlyneedstotakea

GiventhatLogicPro’strackautomationfacilitiescanbeactive,evenwhennotinrecord

HowControlSurfaceIntegrationWorks

LogicProfeaturesdedicatedsupportforanumberofcontrolsurfacemodels.Thisis

achievedthroughseveralplug-insthataredirectlyintegratedintoLogic.Someplug-ins

supportmultiple,similarly-featuredcontrolsurfacemodels.

Note:Althoughmanyothercontrolsurfacesaresupported,theLogic/MackieControl,

C4,andXTcontrolsurfaceunitsarerecommendedforusewithLogic.

Logicalsoallowsyoutoreprogramexistingassignmentsforsupportedcontrolsurfaces

andtoprogramnewassignmentsforunsupportedcontrolsur faces.Thisfacilityallows

youtoextendtheuseoffaders,knobs,andswitches,eitherdirectlyorthroughtheuse

ofmodifiercommands.

YoucanuseanycombinationofcontrolsurfaceswithLogicPro. Youwillgetmostout

supportedbythesameplug-in).
