M-Audio
iControl
This
chapter
will
introduce
you
to
using
Logic
Pro
with
the
M-
Audio
iControl.
The
iControl
support
in
Logic
Pro
has
been
designed
to
ensure
full
GarageBand
compatibility.
When
a
GarageBand
song
is
imported
into
Logic,
the
iControl
can
be
used
to
edit
the
song
in
exactly
the
same
fashion
as
it
would
in
GarageBand.
Logic,
however,
offers
many
more
functions
than
GarageBand,
leading
to
some
iControl
buttons
not
being
assigned
as
you
might
expect
in
Logic.
But
don’t
worry:
you
can
easily
reassign
these
buttons
using
the
sophisticated
Control
Surfaces
Assignments
Editor
of
Logic
(see
the
Control
Surface
chapter
for
more
information).
To
use
Logic
with
an
iControl
unit,
you
need:
Â
an
iControl
unit
 Logic
Pro
7.
2,
or
later
 a
free
USB
port
Setting
Up
the
iControl
Setting
up
your
iControl
for
use
with
Logic
is
a
simple
process:
Connect
the
iControl
to
any
of
your
computer’s
USB
ports.
Logic
automatically
detects
a
connected
iControl.
You
can
use
the
iControl
in
an
independent
control
surface
group
(with
other
control
surface
icons
placed
above/
below
the
iControl
icon),
or
combined
into
one
control
surface
group
with
one
or
more
control
surfaces.
If
Cycle
mode
is
enabled
in
your
song
or
any
tracks
are
muted,
the
corresponding
LEDs
will
be
illuminated,
reflecting
each
track’s
current
status.
The
following
sections
will
provide
you
with
information
on
accessing
parameters
and
functions
that
may
not
be
apparent
at
first
glance.
You
are
strongly
encouraged
to
experiment
with
these
parameters
and
functions—this
will
help
to
familiarize
you
with
iControl
support
in
Logic.
