For
live
use,
control
surfaces
are
ideal.
The
performing
musician
only
needs
to
take
a
laptop,
equipped
with
suitable
audio
and/or
MIDI
interfaces,
a
keyboard,
and
a
control
surface
to
a
live
event.
Some
units
available
nowadays
incorporate
a
keyboard,
audio
interface,
control
surface,
and
MIDI
interface
into
a
single
package.
Given
that
Logic
Pro’s
track
automation
facilities
can
be
active,
even
when
not
in
record
mode,
you
can
capture
your
“live”
real
time
changes
for
later
recall.
This
ensures
that
you’ll
never
again
lose
that
“once-in-a-lifetime”
performance—on
stage
or
in
the
studio.
How
Control
Surface
Integration
Works
Logic
Pro
features
dedicated
support
for
a
number
of
control
surface
models.
This
is
achieved
through
several
plug-ins
that
are
directly
integrated
into
Logic.
Some
plug-ins
support
multiple,
similarly-featured
control
surface
models.
Note:
Although
many
other
control
surfaces
are
supported,
the
Logic/Mackie
Control,
C4,
and
XT
control
surface
units
are
recommended
for
use
with
Logic.
Logic
also
allows
you
to
reprogram
existing
assignments
for
supported
control
surfaces
and
to
program
new
assignments
for
unsupported
control
surfaces.
This
facility
allows
you
to
extend
the
use
of
faders,
knobs,
and
switches,
either
directly
or
through
the
use
of
modifier
commands.
You
can
use
any
combination
of
control
surfaces
with
Logic
Pro.
You
will
get
most
out
of
them,
however,
when
used
in
a
Control
Surface
Group
(provided
all
devices
are
supported
by
the
same
plug-in).
Universal
information,
that
applies
to
all
control
surfaces,
is
covered
in
the
following
chapter.
Please
read
this
before
taking
a
look
at
the
dedicated
section
on
your
control
surface(s).
A
detailed
overview
of
group,
installation,
and
other
control
surface
setup
parameters
is
found
in
Chapter
1,
“
Control
Surface
Setup ,”
on
page
13.
Please
read
this,
as
it
contains
a
lot
of
useful
information
that
will
help
you
to
customize
and/or
make
the
most
of
your
control
surface(s).
Important:
Specific
information
on
device
setup
is
found
at
the
beginning
of
the
relevant
chapter
for
your
control
surface
(see
the
table
below).
