Data values of 126 and 127 have a special effect.

• An event with a value of 127 increases the output number. If you’re on the switcher’s

last output when this event is received, you’ll jump back to the first output. This is just
like clicking the fader.

• An event with a value of 126 decreases the output number. If you’re on the switcher’s

first output when this event is received, you’ll jump to the last output.

Meta Event Faders

Meta faders generate special meta events, which are used to control certain Logic Pro
functions, but have no MIDI meaning, and are never sent to the MIDI output.

In some cases (such as Go to Screenset, Go to Project, and so on), you do not need to
cable meta faders into another object for them to work. Even in these cases, you can use
cabling to process meta events in the Environment, and alter their effect.

However in the majority of cases (Set fader range minimum, Bang!, Set Transformer
Operation Minimum, and so on), the meta fader must be cabled to the object being
affected.

Here’s a quick summary of the currently implemented meta events that can be generated
by faders:

Controlled Logic Pro function

Meta event

Assign Alias

46

Go to Screenset

49

Go to Project

50

Go to Marker

51

Stop Playback

52

Set fader range minimum

96

Set fader range maximum

97

Set the fader value without sending

98

Bang! Causes the fader to resend its current value. The bang data
value can be used to make the fader increment-without-rollover
(127), decrement-without-rollover (125), increment-with-rollover
(123) or decrement-with-rollover (121). Use values one less than
those shown to have the bang passed through to all connected
faders.

99

Tempo Control (See

Using the Tempo Fader

.)

100

Set transformer map value for the currently selected map position

122

Select transformer map position

123

Set transformer condition maximum (bottom) parameter, if any.
(This applies to all conditions not set to All.)
