Control Surface Support
Logic offers dedicated support for several surfaces plus
the option to program unsupported devices. Control
surfaces are hardware units that enable the operation of
Logic using faders, rotary knobs, switches, and displays.
There are a number of simple control surfaces that feature conventional faders and no
displays. More progressive units are equipped with motor faders, rotary encoders, LED
rings, and programmable displays. The more feedback a control surface provides, the
easier it is to use, as you don’t need to watch the computer screen in order to
determine what mode the unit is currently in.
Although we recommend the Emagic Logic Control and Logic Control XT, other control
surfaces are supported as well.
Logic supports many functions of modern control surfaces. Its modular concept and
learning mode allows the addition of support for new control surfaces, or
enhancements to existing support. The extensible control surface plug-in architecture
allows the full use of all possibilities of a given controller, down to the finest details.
The following chapter describes functions applicable to all control surface models.
Specific documentation for various models is available in individual PDF files.
