Apple Logic Express 9 - Manual (Page 752)

• Master channel strip: A global level control for all output channel strips. The master
channel strip changes the gain of all output channel strips without affecting the level
relationships between them. This is very helpful as a proportional output volume control.
• MIDI channel strips: Control external MIDI tracks. MIDI data on these tracks is routed to
a MIDI output port and channel, for control of MIDI sound modules and keyboards. For
details, see
Working with MIDI Channel Strips in the Mixer .
Note: Additional channel strip types, such as bus and input channel strips, can be created
and used. However, their inclusion is primarily for compatibility with projects created in
earlier versions of Logic Express.
