Shortcuts for Defining Multiple Assignments

If you want to define multiple assignments in the Controller Assignment Editor, you can
use the following shortcuts:

Scenario 1: assign faders 1 to 16 to volume of tracks 1 to 16

1

Learn volume track 1 for fader 1.

2

Learn volume track 16 for fader 16.

3

As the track “distance” (15) is the same as the controller number distance for the two
most recently learned assignments, a “Do you want to fill up in between?” message
appears. Select OK to automatically fill the faders with corresponding Volume
assignments for each track.

Note: This feature also works for any other track parameter (Pan, Solo, Mute, and so on).

Scenario 2: assign knobs 1 to 16 to plug-in parameters 1 to 16

1

Learn parameter 1 for knob 1.

2

Learn parameter 16 for knob 16.

Note: The parameter enumeration is shown in the Plug-in window’s Control View.

3

As the gap between parameter numbers (15) is the same as the gap between controller
numbers for the two most recently learned assignments, a “Do you want to fill up in
between?” message appears. Select OK to automatically fill the knobs with
corresponding Parameter assignments for each.

Note: This feature also works for instrument parameters. Currently, this only works for
knobs that send a single channel message, where the first data byte is the controller
number and the second data byte is the value. Alternatively, the controller number can
be encoded in the MIDI channel, with a fixed first data byte.

Zones, Modes, and Assignments

You can define “groups” of controls on a control surface that can be switched between
different operating modes. As an example, the Logic Control rotary encoders can be
used to control Pan, Send Level or plug-in parameters.

Such “groups” are called Zones. The different operations that can be performed within a
Zone are called Modes.

A Zone contains one or more Modes, one of which is the active Mode. A Zone may also
contain modeless assignments—assignments which are always active.
