Logic Control

The fader bank offset is independently memorized for Global views where one track
class is displayed (MIDI, Inputs, Audio Tracks, Instruments, Auxes, Busses, Outputs, and
Master). There is also a separate fader bank offset memory location for combinations of
multiple track types. This feature allows you to scroll to audio tracks 2 through 9 in
Global Audio Track view, and then scroll to instruments 5 through 12 in Global
Instruments view. You can switch between these views without losing the fader bank
offset.

Flip

The FLIP button enables/disables the following Flip, Swap, or Zero modes:
Â

If the LED beside the FLIP button is off, Flip mode is off. The faders control volume.

Â

Pressing the FLIP button enables Flip mode (the LED is lit): in this mode, the current
assignments of the eight V-Pots are mirrored by the eight channel faders. Pressing
the FLIP button a second time disables Flip mode.

Turning a V-Pot in this mode will also move the corresponding fader.
Â

Pressing the FLIP button while the SHIFT button is held enables Swap mode (the LED
will flash): in this mode, the encoder assignments are swapped with the fader
assignments. Pressing SHIFT and FLIP again disables Swap mode. As the LCD’s lower
row shows the current value of the encoders, it will display volumes when in this
mode.

Â

Pressing FLIP without SHIFT held reverts to Flip mode.

Â

Pressing CONTROL and FLIP switches to Zero mode. Pressing CONTROL and FLIP a
second time disables Zero mode. In this mode, the faders are set to zero and don’t
move. This is useful for acoustic/microphone recordings if Logic Control is located in
the recording booth, and you don’t want to hear/capture any motor noise.

Both Flip and Swap modes work in all view modes.

Flip mode has the following advantages:
Â

You can edit any type of parameter with a fader, rather than a V-Pot, which allows
more accurate edits.

Â

You can edit with touch-sensitive faders. The V-Pots are not touch-sensitive, and thus
don’t allow existing (controller automation) movements to be overwritten with a
constant value.
