Logic Control

In all three modes, the SIGNAL LEDs function as per usual, indicating the presence of a
signal.

Note: The MIDI bandwidth required for the display of level meters is the same in all
three modes—and is very low. The Position/Time Display updates require much more
MIDI bandwidth than the level meters.

Pressing the NAME/VALUE button, while holding the CONTROL button, clears overload
(clipping) in both the Logic mixers, and the horizontal level meters on the Logic
Control.

Pressing the NAME/VALUE button, while holding the x/ALT button, enters Control
Surface Group Settings mode. This mode enables you to edit several control surface
group settings, some of which are not accessible with a single button:
Â

V-Pot/V-Select 5 (label “TrkNam”)—sets track name display format
“Name”—track name only
“#:Name”—track number and name
This parameter can also be switched with OPTION and NAME/VALUE.

Â

V-Pot/V-Select 6 (label “Lock”)—switches Channel Strip view track lock
“Off”—as you are used to: selecting a track also switches the currently edited
Channel Strip track.
“On”—the currently edited Channel Strip Track is not affected by selecting a track.

When you switch from On to Off, this also updates the Channel Strip track.

To edit another track in Locked mode, first disable Lock, then select the desired track,
then re-enable Lock.
Â

V-Pot/V-Select 7 (label “Disply”)—switches the LCD display format.
“Name”—upper line displays global info, lower line displays parameter names.
“Value”—upper line displays parameter names, lower line displays parameter values.
This parameter can also be switched with NAME/VALUE.

Â

V-Pot/V-Select 8 (label “Clock”)—switches the Clock display format.
“Beats”—clock is displayed in format bars/measures/beats/ticks.
“SMPTE”—clock is displayed in SMPTE format.
This parameter can also be switched with SMPTE/BEATS.

Control Surface Group Settings mode can be exited by pressing NAME/VALUE, or by
entering one of the Marker or Nudge modes.

SMPTE/Beats

To switch between the two Time formats, repeatedly press the SMPTE/BEATS button in
the Display section at the top of the Logic Control—just below the SMPTE/BEATS LEDs.
