28 Chapter 2 Logic Control—Details
We strongly encourage you to press the buttons, turn the V-POT knobs etc. as you’re
reading through this chapter (not that you probably need much encouragement). This
will help you to get a “feel” for how the Logic Control works, and how the various parts
of the control surface interact with one another.
Topics in this chapter are broken down into “Zones” of the Logic Control surface.
The Channel Strip(s)
As each channel strip is identical, the information discussed in this section applies
equally to all eight channel strips on the Logic Control and Logic Control XT units.
V-POT/V-SELECT
This “soft” potentiometer can be used to adjust the send level and pan, plus any other
parameter for EQ, instruments, effects etc. The V-POT can also be used to choose
items—such as plug-ins, Audio Instruments and more—from scrollable lists, and to
determine destinations for sends.
The V-POT also contains an integrated V-SELECT push button. This button generally sets
a “default” parameter value (where a parameter has more than two possible values), or
toggles between two parameter values (e. g on/off). The V-SELECT can also be used to
activate a function, selected through use of the V-POT. As an example, the V-POT can be
rotated in order to select an effect plug-in for a particular channel Insert slot. Once the
desired effect is displayed in the LCD, a simple press downwards on the top of the V-
POT
will activate the V-SELECT switch. In the example given, this would select, and insert,
the effect and launch the plug-in window. On occasion, the V-SELECT is used to switch
to a special Assignment mode.
The current value of any parameter being adjusted by the V-POT is displayed on the
LCD (dependent on the NAME/VALUE setting), and is also indicated by the ring of LEDs
which surround it. The various LED “ring” displays are shown here:
This will vary as follows, dependent on the selected parameter:
• Connected series of LED segments from left to right (e. g. send level)
• Single segment (e. g. panorama, frequency)
• Connected series of LED segments, starting in the center position and fanning to the
left OR right (e. g. EQ gain)
