MIDI

The uppermost box, the Status menu, displays the type of MIDI message that is used
for the key command.

Channel: Indicates the MIDI channel number of the incoming message. This
parameter is disabled if the Status menu is set to unused.

Data 1: This field indicates the first MIDI data byte. As an example: This field will
show and allow the entry of a MIDI note value if the Status menu is set to Note.

Data 2: This field indicates the second MIDI data byte. It is disabled if the Status
menu is set to anything other than Control Change or Poly Pressure.

Learn MIDI button: Enables you to teach Logic a particular MIDI command to perform
a key command function. You must enable this button before Logic will accept any
MIDI data for use as a key command trigger.

Assignments

This field displays the control surface assignment associated with the selected key
command. It is only relevant when a control surface is used with Logic.

Each line displays:

The name of the control surface, or the MIDI string if the assignment is from an
unsupported control surface.

The name of the control. If the name is shown in gray, this indicates that the
assignment is currently inactive (because it is part of an inactive mode).

Zone and Mode that the Assignment belongs to, if applicable.

Note: The display is updated when a Zone changes its Mode (when holding down a
modifier button, for example).

Double-clicking on a row will show the assignment in the Controller Assignments
Editor (see “The Controller Assignments Window” on page 500).
