On Keys
The
MC
On
keys
provide
the
same
functionality
as
the
Mute
buttons
in
Logic,
but
work
in
reverse:
An
MC
On
key
must
be
lit
to
hear
the
channel.
If
a
channel
strip
has
been
muted
in
Logic,
the
corresponding
MC
channel
On
key
is
not
illuminated.
A
track
that
is
not
muted
features
a
lit
On
key.
L LED
When
the
Logic
track
controlled
by
the
fader
belongs
to
an
automation
group,
the
L
LED
on
the
channel
strip
is
lit.
Touching Fader Selects Track Preference
Please
note
that
the
“Touching
fader
selects
track”
preference
of
Logic
(Logic
>
Preferences
>

>

does
not
apply
to
the
MC
and
System
5-
MC
when
they
are
used
with
the
EuCon
protocol.
This
function
is
offered
by
the
MC
itself,
with
the
“Select
channel
by
touching
fader/joystick“
preference.
Choosing Automation Modes
The
MC

System
5-MC
only
support
Read

however,
also
features

automation
modes.
When
you
use
these
devices
with
Logic,
activating
the
“Read

the
Touchscreen

Touch

in
Logic.
Latch
mode
can
not
be
activated
with
the
MC
or
System
5-MC.
When
you
choose
Latch
mode
with
the
mouse
in
Logic,
the
green
R
and
red
W

are
lit
(as
per

Press the Wave and Select keys simultaneously.

in
the

settings
is
