Chapter 21 Control Surface Support 491
Note: The exact elements displayed, and thus their positions, depend on the selected
SMPTE or bar/beat display option defined in Logic’s Preferences.
Track View Mode
This parameter determines which tracks or channels are displayed:
• Mixer—displays channels in their order of appearance in the Track Mixer window
(while Global mode is disabled). Instruments/channels used by multiple tracks are
merged into one channel.
• Global—displays all Objects of certain type(s)—MIDI or Bus channels, for example—
independently of their usage by tracks. They merely need to be defined as an
Environment Object. The Object types to be displayed are defined by another
parameter which is not shown in the parameter list. If a control surface supports
switching to Global View, it also allows you to define which Objects to display.
• Arrange—displays channels in their order of appearance in the Track List of the
Arrange window, including multiple tracks using the same instrument or channel.
The Hide button status is taken into account, with tracks hidden in the Arrange
window also being hidden on the control surface.
Mixer View Fader Bank
This parameter affects the Mixer and Arrange View mode by shifting channels by the
defined amount. Imagine that your control surface has eight channel strips, and you
were looking at audio tracks 1–8 in the Arrange window. These would appear as
channels 1–8 on the control surface. Using the Mixer View Fader Bank parameter, you
could offset this view by a defined number of channels, looking at audio tracks 3–11,
for example.
Global View Fader Bank
The Global View Fader Bank parameter does the same thing as the Mixer View Fader
Bank, but only applies if multiple Object types are enabled. When single Object types
are enabled, there are separate fader bank parameters (these aren’t displayed in the
parameter list).
Track/Channel Parameters
Track Parameters
Defines the current Track Assignment behavior for the encoders. Options are:
• Volume—adjusts channel volume.
• Pan—adjusts channel panorama.
• Mode—adjusts/selects channel mode (mono/stereo).
• Input—adjusts/selects channel input source.
• Output—adjusts/selects channel output (main outs/busses).
• Automation—adjusts/selects channel automation mode.
• Displayed parameter—adjusts the automation parameter displayed in the Arrange
window. This is especially useful if you set the control surface to Arrange View mode,
and your Arrange window shows multiple sub-tracks with various parameters.
