Control Surface Setup
Power
Up
Once
everything
is
connected,
press
the
power
switch
on
your
control
surface.
Once
powered,
the
displays
and/or
LEDs
will
illuminate
and
the
LCD
(if
applicable)
will
generally
display
a
welcome
message
(often
including
the
firmware
version
number).
Each
fader
will
slide
to
the
top,
and
back
to
the
bottom
of
its
travel
on
most
motorized
control
surfaces.
This
self-diagnostic
power-on
procedure
indicates
that
your
units
are
functioning
correctly.
Your
computer
and
MIDI
interface
can
be
powered
up
before
or
after
initialization
of
your
control
surface
units.
Logic
can
be
started
either
before
or
after
the
units
have
completed
initialization.
Installing and Setting Up Control Surfaces
Some
control
surface
units
(Logic/Mackie
Control,
for
example)
will
automatically
be
detected
when
Logic
is
launched.
Units
which
are
not
detected
automatically
can
be
added
via
the
Setup
window.
This
is
accessed
via
the
Setup
option
in
the
Preferences
>
Control
Surfaces
menu.
Installation
is
very
easy
(and
is
covered
in
the
Set
Up
section
of
the
chapter
on
your
specific
device).
Some
devices
may
require
different
or
additional
steps,
but
generally,
all
you
need
to
do
is
select
the
device(s)
that
you
wish
to
use
in
Logic,
as
follows:
To install control surfaces using the Scan function of Logic:
1
Choose
New
>
Install,
and
in
the
ensuing
Install
window,
select
the
desired
device
from
the
list.
Note:
You
may
select
one
or
more
models.
To
select
more
than
one
model,
select
them
with
Command
held
down.
If
you
select
more
than
one
model,
Logic
performs
the
desired
operation
for
each
model
in
turn.
2
Press the Scan button. You can also press Enter or double-click the device name.
Logic
will
then
analyze
your
MIDI
system,
and
will
automatically
install
the
devices
it
finds,
including
the
correct
connection
settings.
Note:
The
Scan
function
is
preferable
to
manual
installation,
as
Logic
is
able
to
gather
the
maximum
amount
of
information
about
the
devices.
If
you
don’t
want
to
select
the
models
to
be
scanned
manually,
you
can
also
click
“Scan
all.”
This
will
search
for
all
supported
control
surface
units
on
all
MIDI
ports.
Please
be
aware
that
this
may
take
a
while.
Some
control
surfaces
don’t
support
automatic
scanning.
Such
devices
must
be
added
manually
to
your
setup.
In
this
scenario,
you
will
need
to
manually
set
the
MIDI
In
and
Out
port
parameters.
