Please read it thoroughly to make the most of your new controller(s). All of the functions in Logic Pro that are normally associated with the use of an analog style mixer can be performed using just a mouse and a computer keyboard. The addition of many commercially available control surfaces can greatly enhance your creative experience by providing you with hands-on control of most realtime parameters in Logic. Move a fader and the on-screen fader in Logic will move with it. Similarly, when you make a fader move on-screen, the control surface fader moves (this only applies to control surfaces equipped with motorized faders). Adjust EQ parameters by turning one of your control surface's knobs and Logic will update instantly. What Are Control Surfaces? Control surfaces are hardware units that enable the operation of Logic Pro using faders, rotary knobs, switches, and displays. There are a number of simple control surfaces that feature conventional faders and no displays. More progressive units are equipped with motorized faders, rotary encoders, LED rings, and programmable displays. The more feedback a control surface provides, the easier it is to use, as you don't need to watch the computer screen in order to determine what mode the unit is currently in. Control surfaces--dependent on the options (buttons, knobs, switches, displays, and so on) available--have the potential to:  control all Logic transport functions  adjust instrument, input, bus, aux, master, and audio channel volume and pan levels  control Channel EQ and Linear Phase EQ parameters  select and control all effect and Instrument parameters  select, solo, mute, and arm tracks  set and adjust send parameters 7     remotely switch between Screensets scrub MIDI and audio zoom in on individual tracks create, delete, and move between markers, and much more For live use, control surfaces are ideal. The performing musician only needs to take a laptop, equipped with suitable audio and/or MIDI interfaces, a keyboard, and a control surface to a live event. Some units available nowadays incorporate a keyboard, audio interface, control surface, and MIDI interface into a single package. Given that Logic Pro's track automation facilities can be active, even when not in record mode, you can capture your "live" real time changes for later recall. This ensures that you'll never again lose that "once-in-a-lifetime" performance--on stage or in the studio. 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 surfaces. 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 of them, however, when used in a Control Surface Group (provided all devices are supported by the same plug-in). Universal information, that applies to all control surfaces, is covered in the following chapter. Please read this before taking a look at the dedicated section on your control surface(s). A detailed overview of group, installation, and other control surface setup parameters is found in Chapter 1, "Control Surface Setup," on page 13. Please read this, as it contains a lot of useful information that will help you to customize and/or make the most of your control surface(s). Important: Specific information on device setup is found at the beginning of the relevant chapter for your control surface (see the table below). 8 Chapter Introduction It is assumed that you are familiar with the basic use and terminology of Logic Pro. As such, the functionality and uses of individual Logic parameters are not covered in this documentation. Please consult your Logic Pro 7 Reference manual or the Online Help, if you require further information. You are strongly encouraged to press buttons, move sliders and turn the knobs of your control surface while reading through the following chapters. This will help you to get a "feel" for how your control surface works, and how the various parts of the control surface interact with one another, and Logic. A listing of control surfaces that are directly supported by Logic (via a control surface plug-in included in the Logic package), how they differ from similar devices, and cross references to the relevant sections are shown below. Note: It is possible that your device may be directly supported in Logic via a suitable control surface plug-in, supplied by the manufacturer. Please check the website of your control surface manufacturer. Follow any written instructions supplied with the plug-in, if available. Supported Devices 01V96 Manufacturer Yamaha Notes The Yamaha 01V96 emulates two HUI units, using two virtual MIDI in and out connections over its USB cable. See "Yamaha 01V96" on page 203. The Yamaha 01X emulates a Logic Control. It does not feature all controls available to the Logic (and Mackie) units, however. Please refer to the 01X documentation for details. Logic recognizes the 01X as such and displays a custom icon, but communication is as with a Logic Control. See "Logic Control" on page 47. The Yamaha 02R96 emulates three HUI units, using three virtual MIDI in and out connections over its USB cable. See "Yamaha 02R96" on page 211. The Baby HUI is a stripped-down version of the HUI. See "Mackie Baby HUI" on page 147. The Logic Control plug-in has been extended to support the Mackie C4. See "Mackie C4" on page 151. See "EuCon Support of Euphonix MC and System 5-MC" on page 111. See "JLCooper CS-32 MiniDesk" on page 135. 01X Yamaha 02R96 Yamaha Baby HUI C4 Mackie Mackie CM408T CS-32 MiniDesk Euphonix JLCooper Chapter Introduction 9 Supported Devices DM1000 Manufacturer Yamaha Notes The Yamaha DM1000 emulates two HUI units, using two virtual MIDI in and out connections over its USB cable. See "Yamaha DM1000" on page 217. The Yamaha DM2000 emulates three HUI units, using three virtual MIDI in and out connections over its USB cable. See "Yamaha DM2000" on page 225. See "JLCooper FaderMaster 4/100" on page 141. Extension unit for FW-1884. See "Tascam FW1884" on page 185. A stripped-down version of the FW-1884, with dedicated support in the FW-1884 plug-in. See "Tascam FW-1884" on page 185. See "Tascam FW-1884" on page 185. Important: The HUI plug-in has been tested with the original Mackie HUI. There are a number of control surfaces not mentioned here which can emulate the HUI. We have not tested all devices capable of HUI emulation, and don't provide any support for them, nor do we guarantee that they will work with Logic in HUI emulation mode. See "Mackie HUI" on page 163. See "M-Audio iControl" on page 101. A larger version of the microKONTROL, with dedicated support in the microKONTROL plug-in. See "Korg microKONTROL and KONTROL49" on page 143. This is the extension unit for the Logic Control. It only offers the channel strip section, making it less useful without a Logic Control. See "Logic Control" on page 47. Also see the Appendix for more details. See "Logic Control" on page 47. Also see the Appendix for more details. The original Mackie Control hardware is similar to the Logic Control. The front panel legend is different, however. You should request a Logic Control Lexan Overlay from Mackie. As Logic also recognizes the Mackie Control protocol, you may use any firmware version. If you have fir ...
