Control
Surface
Setup
Display
Parameters
The
following
section
describes
the
display
parameters
of
a
Control
Surface
Group.
Flip
Mode
Many
control
surfaces
offer
both
a
fader
and
a
rotary
encoder
for
each
channel
strip.
Flip
Mode
allows
you
to
swap
the
encoder
assignment
with
that
of
the
fader
for
each
channel.
Alternately,
you
can
assign
both
controls
to
the
same
parameter.
There
are
four
“flip”
or
“swap”
modes.
Â
Off—disables
Flip
Mode,
making
the
fader
act
as
a
volume
control.
 Duplicate—makes
both
the
fader
and
encoder
active
for
the
currently
selected
encoder
parameter.
 Swap—swaps
the
fader
and
encoder,
making
the
fader
a
pan
control
and
the
encoder
a
channel
volume
control,
for
example.
 Mute—disables
the
faders.
This
is
useful
for
situations
where
recording
is
taking
place
in
the
same
room
as
the
control
surface,
and
you
wish
to
avoid
the
mechanical
noise
of
the
faders.
Any
existing
automation
data
will
still
function
as
per
normal.
Display
Mode
If
there
is
insufficient
space
available
for
the
display
of
both
the
parameter
name
and
value
(on
the
control
surface
LCD),
you
can
specify
what
is
displayed
here:
Â
Value—displays
the
parameter
value.
 Name—displays
the
parameter
name.
Clock
Display
If
your
control
surface
features
a
song
position
display,
the
Clock
Display
parameter
allows
you
to
set
the
display
mode:
Â
Beats—the
song
position
display
shows
Bars/Beats/(optional)
Sub
Division/Ticks.
 SMPTE—as
above,
but
in
Hours/Minutes/Seconds/Frames.
Note:
The
exact
elements
displayed,
and
thus
their
positions,
depend
on
the
selected
SMPTE
or
bar/beat
display
option
defined
in
the
Logic
Preferences.
Track
View
Mode
This
parameter
determines
which
tracks
or
channels
are
displayed:
Â
Mixer—displays
channels
in
their
order
of
appearance
in
the
Track
Mixer
window
(while
Global
mode
is
disabled).
Channel
Strip
1
in
the
Track
Mixer
is
equivalent
to
channel
1
on
the
control
surface,
Channel
Strip
2
in
the
Track
Mixer
is
equivalent
to
channel
2
and
so
on.
Instruments/channels
used
by
multiple
tracks
are
merged
into
one
channel.
Mixer
View
is
the
default
mode
of
most
devices,
including
the
Logic/
Mackie
Control.
