Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 1100)

• The Options > Apply Buffer Template to > “Definition, channel increment” increases
the channel number from object to object, beginning with the top-left object. It is
not necessary for the selected objects to have the same Input or Output definition
as the template.
• The Options > Apply Buffer Template to > “Definition, number increment” increases
the first data byte of the definition (controller number, for example).
• Cabling Serially: The Options > “Cable serially” function connects all selected objects
in series, beginning with the object at the top left.
• Names with Numbers: If you name one object in a selected group of objects with a
name that ends in a numeral, the remaining objects will adopt the name, but with
sequentially increasing numbers. For example, selecting several objects and naming
one of them “Object 1” results in the ensuing objects being renamed “Object 2,” “Object
3,” “Object 4,” and so on.
Fader Styles
A fader’s style is shown in the line under the icon. It can be changed by selecting the
current style name and choosing a new style from the pop-up menu.
Remember that a fader’s style does not usually affect its function—you can select the
most convenient style for the intended use of the object.
Some of the fader styles are described below.
Vertical/Mute
This is exactly like the Vertical 4 fader style, with an added Mute button.
When you click the Mute button, the fader sends an event (with a value of 0) that matches
the Output definition.
• The fader’s movements are not sent while the Mute button is on.
• The current fader value is sent when you turn the Mute button off.
