Adjust elements of MIDI channel strips

On MIDI channel strips, you can adjust the volume level and pan position, control MIDI data
transmission, and assign controller data.

instrument, allowing you to remotely control parameters such as volume, pan, and chorus.

Save and restore MIDI channel strip settings

MIDI channel strip settings in the Mixer directly affect the Track inspector. The current settings of
all channel strips are saved with the project.

If the active settings of your sound module are not maintained when you switch it off (some
devices reset to default values), any Logic Pro Mixer settings that affect the unit will be lost.
Fortunately, Logic Pro Mixer settings are automatically restored and transmitted to all MIDI
devices when you reload the project. If this doesn’t happen—due to MIDI communication issues
with some devices, for example—you can manually resend the MIDI channel strip settings.

Resend the MIDI channel strip settings

m

Choose Options > Send All MIDI Mixer Data from the Mixer menu bar.
