Control Surface Setup

Here is an example with two Logic Control, three Logic Control XT units and a HUI:
Computer icon connected to three rows, as below:

The top row, consisting of Logic Control XT #1, Logic Control XT #2 and Logic Control
#1 form a single Control Surface Group with 24 channels. XT #1 controls channels 1 to
8, XT #2 controls channels 9 to 16, and Logic Control #1 handles channels 17 to 24.

Logic Control #2 and Logic Control XT #3 form a second Control Surface Group,
displaying, say instruments (on channels 1 to 8) and busses (on channels 9 to 16).

The HUI forms a single unit control surface group.

Each Control Surface Group has individual settings, such as Flip Mode, Fader Bank Offset,
Plug-in Parameter Bank Offset and others. This allows you to access, edit, and automate
different sections of the Logic mixer.

In our example, the three units in the top row could be used for control over audio
tracks and MIDI channels. In the middle row, Logic Control #2 could be used for Audio
Instrument channels 1 to 8, and XT #3 could be used for busses. The HUI might edit
group definitions. The physical placement of units, and the way you use them, is
entirely up to you.

Note: The placement of your control surface units in relation to each other should be
the same onscreen as in the real-world. Simply drag ’n drop the desired icon
horizontally in your Control Surface Group to do so.
