Control
Surface
Setup 19
Setup
Window
Parameters
The
three
Parameter
boxes
along
the
left
edge
of
the
Setup
window
allow
you
to
configure
your
control
surface
setup
to
meet
your
needs.
Device
Parameters
Each
control
surface
unit
must
be
connected
to
an
independent
MIDI
in
and
out
port
(or
corresponding
USB/FireWire
port,
designated
as
a
MIDI
port
by
the
device
driver).
The
automatic
setup
or
Scan
procedure
should
have
found,
and
set,
the
correct
MIDI
in/
out
port
settings
for
each
unit.
In
the
event
that
the
MIDI
in
or
out
port
identification
is
incorrect,
you
can
manually
select
the
appropriate
one
for
the
unit.
To
do
so,
click-hold
on
the
MIDI
Input
and
Output
pull-down
menus,
and
select
the
appropriate
port(s)
of
your
MIDI
interface/
device.
Some
devices
allow
you
to
define
a
device
ID
(or
global/basic
channel).
This
can
be
set
in
this
area.
Module
name,
model
name
and
firmware
version
are
also
displayed
in
the
device
parameters.
The
Color
parameter
defines
the
color
of
the
Track
Control
Bar—a
bar
displayed
in
the
Arrange
window,
indicating
the
tracks
that
are
currently
being
accessed
by
your
control
surface.
The
Track
Control
Bar
of
each
control
surface
can
be
assigned
a
different
color.
Special
Parameters
Some
control
surfaces
may
allow
the
definition
of
“special”
parameters.
An
example
of
this
is
fader
touch
sensitivity.
Such
parameters
can
be
found
in
the
Special
Parameters
area.
A
detailed
description
can
be
found
in
the
documentation
of
the
particular
control
surface
plug-in.
Control
Surface
Group
Parameters
The
following
parameters
are
shown
in
the
Setup
window.
They
apply
to
the
Control
Surface
Group
associated
with
the
selected
device,
and
allow
you
to
set
each
group
up
to
meet
your
needs.
This
facility
is
of
great
benefit
when
multiple
Control
Surface
Groups
have
been
created.
Many
(if
not
all)
Control
Surface
Group
parameters
can
also
be
changed
directly
from
the
control
surface.
The
parameter
display
in
the
Setup
window
is
for
information
purposes
only.
Any
changes
to
settings
(made
here,
or
on
the
control
surface)
are
saved
in
a
preferences
file,
which
is
independent
of
the
Logic
program
preferences:
it’s
named
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”,
and
is
located
in
~/Library/Preferences/Logic.
