Logic Control

Some parameters require confirmation, such as the selection of plug-ins, Audio
Instruments, sends, inputs, outputs, and so on. For these types of parameters, press the
V-Select button (press down on the top of the V-Pot) to activate/select the desired
value. In the case of a plug-in or Audio Instrument, this will automatically launch the
Plug-in window in Logic. For a send, the confirmed channel send destination will be
activated in the Logic mixer(s).

When a value has been pre-selected, but not confirmed/instantiated (such as send
destination, plug-in insertion and so on) the value will flash until the V-Select button is
pressed.

An exponential increase in value changes will occur as a V-Pot is rotated more quickly.

The Assignment Zone

The small light gray area just below the mode display contains six buttons.

These ASSIGNMENT buttons work in both Track and Global view modes. View modes
are discussed in

Track View Mode

” on page 20.

When these buttons are pressed, the mode display, plus the LED associated with each
button, will update to reflect the currently selected assignment mode. The LCD will also
update to display the parameters relevant to the selected assignment. These
parameters are, of course, assigned to the corresponding V-Pots.

All ASSIGNMENT buttons work as switches, which means that if you click them
repeatedly, they will switch between the Multi Channel and Channel Strip view modes.
Â

Multi Channel view—you see the same parameter for multiple channels. In Multi
Channel view, the mode display does not show a period—Example: P1

Â

Channel Strip view—you see multiple parameters for a single channel. In Channel
Strip view, the mode display shows a period to the right—Example: P1.

Switching between Multi Channel and Channel Strip views is achieved by pressing the
selected ASSIGNMENT button multiple times.

If you press an ASSIGNMENT button which is not currently selected, the Assignment
mode changes, and the view switches to Multi Channel view. Exception: Switching
between Instrument Edit view and Plug-in Edit view retains the Channel Strip view.
