you
to
adjust
whether

Customizing
Control
Surfaces
Logic
allows
you
to
reprogram
existing
assignments
for
supported
control
surfaces
and
to
program
new
assignments
for
unsupported
control
surfaces.
This
facility
allows
you
to
extend
the
use
of
faders,
knobs,
and
switches,
either
directly
or
through
the
use
of
modifier
commands.
As
an
example,
The
buttons
F1
to
F8
of
the
Logic
Control
are
assigned
to
screensets
1
to
8
by
default.
When
reassigned
directly,
or
combined
with
the
Shift,
Option,
Control,
and
Command
modifiers
(used
in
any
combination),
you
can
freely
assign
any
command
to
these
function
keys
(F1
to
F8).
To
assign
a
MIDI

 If
you

assigned
to
the
key
command),
a
Help
Tag
will
indicate
what
needs
to
be
done
next
(move
control,
for
example).
 If
MIDI
messages
are
received
while
the
Command
key
is
held
down,
releasing
the
key
closes
the
Help
Tag
window,
and
the
learn
procedure
is
completed.
Note:

Mode
button

of
the
intended
control
message.
You
