Chapter 1 Logic Control—Basics 17
Quick Start
Once Logic is launched, any connected (and powered) Logic Control units will
automatically be detected. The LCD above the
V-POT
s will indicate the tracks (shown
from left to right) as they appear—from top to bottom—in the Arrange window Track
List of your Autoload song. The two character Mode Display will display
Pn
, the Position/
Time Display will display
1 1 1 1
, assuming that your Autoload song starts at this
position.
Please note that if running multiple units, the order of channels/tracks (from left to
right) needs to be defined. The easiest way to do this is to launch Logic, and then
switch on the units from left to right, with a delay of about 5 seconds between
powering up each unit. This only needs to be done once—and the setup will
automatically be created in the right order. Once the setup is defined, the order in
which you power up Logic or the Logic Control units doesn’t matter.
Should your Autoload song have the Cycle mode enabled or muted objects etc., the
corresponding LEDs on the Logic Control will be illuminated to reflect each track’s
current status.
It should be noted that the default settings and displays indicated above may be
slightly different on your unit. The reasons for any such differences include: Firmware
changes, software changes and user changes.
If the auto-detection phase completed correctly, you’re ready to go! If not, see the
Logic user manual for setup information.
Although the Logic Control is intuitive to use, the following sections will provide you
with information on accessing parameters and functions that may not be apparent at
first glance. Feel free to use them as a reference manual while experimenting.
View Modes
Before taking a look at the front panel of the Logic Control, we’d like to cover a
simple—but very important—concept.
Logic Control works in three discrete View modes.
•
Mixer View —layout like in the Track Mixer window ( Global switch off).
•
Global View —layout like in the Track Mixer window ( Global switch on).
• Arrange View —layout like in the Arrangement window.
These modes are mutually exclusive, so if you’re in one View mode , you cannot be in
the other.
It is important to note that the Mixer vs. Global View modes is a property of the Control
Surface Group , not a global setting. So one group can display the busses, while the
other shows tracks, for example.
