Shortcuts for Defining Multiple Assignments
If
you
want
to
define
multiple
assignments
in
the
Controller
Assignment
Editor,
you
can
use
the
following
shortcuts:
Scenario 1: assign faders 1 to 16 to volume of tracks 1 to 16
1
Learn volume track 1 for fader 1.
2
Learn volume track 16 for fader 16.
3
As
the
track
“distance”
(15)
is
the
same
as
the
controller
number
distance
for
the
two
most
recently
learned
assignments,
a
“Do
you
want
to
fill
up
in
between?”
message
appears.
Select
OK
to
automatically
fill
the
faders
with
corresponding
Volume
assignments
for
each
track.
Note: This feature also works for any other track parameter (Pan, Solo, Mute, and so on).
Scenario 2: assign knobs 1 to 16 to plug-in parameters 1 to 16
1
Learn parameter 1 for knob 1.
2
Learn parameter 16 for knob 16.
Note: The parameter enumeration is shown in the Plug-in window’s Control View.
3
As
the
gap
between
parameter
numbers
(15)
is
the
same
as
the
gap
between
controller
numbers
for
the
two
most
recently
learned
assignments,
a
“Do
you
want
to
fill
up
in
between?”
message
appears.
Select
OK
to
automatically
fill
the
knobs
with
corresponding
Parameter
assignments
for
each.
Note:
This
feature
also
works
for
instrument
parameters.
Currently,
this
only
works
for
knobs
that
send
a
single
channel
message,
where
the
first
data
byte
is
the
controller
number
and
the
second
data
byte
is
the
value.
Alternatively,
the
controller
number
can
be
encoded
in
the
MIDI
channel,
with
a
fixed
first
data
byte.
Zones, Modes, and Assignments
You
can
define
“groups”
of
controls
on
a
control
surface
that
can
be
switched
between
different
operating
modes.
As
an
example,
the
Logic
Control
rotary
encoders
can
be
used
to
control
Pan,
Send
Level
or
plug-in
parameters.
Such
“groups”
are
called
Zones.
The
different
operations
that
can
be
performed
within
a
Zone
are
called
Modes.
A
Zone
contains
one
or
more
Modes,
one
of
which
is
the
active
Mode.
A
Zone
may
also
contain
modeless
assignments—assignments
which
are
always
active.
