Overview of M-Audio iControl in Logic Pro

You can use the iControl with Logic Pro to make working with GarageBand projects easier. When you open a GarageBand project in Logic Pro, you can edit it using the iControl just as you would in GarageBand. You can also take full advantage of the greater control, editing, and processing power afforded by Logic Pro.

Given the hugely expanded functionality of Logic Pro over GarageBand, some iControl buttons may not be assigned as you might expect. You can, however, easily reassign iControl buttons in the Controller Assignments window; see the Logic Pro X User Guide.

In addition to editing volume, pan, and other channel strip functions, the iControl lets you edit any plug-in that can be automated in Logic Pro. Many Logic Pro effect and instrument plug-ins, and those of third-party manufacturers, feature dozens of parameters. You can access each of these parameters with the iControl.

Note: If a third-party plug-in that you’re using does not support remote editing or other features mentioned in this documentation, contact the plug-in manufacturer to obtain an updated version.

When you connect the iControl to any of your computer’s USB ports, Logic Pro automatically detects the device. If any channels are muted, soloed, or record-enabled in the current project, the LED on the corresponding channel strip control is lit to reflect the channel strip’s state. If Cycle mode is active, a lit LED also indicates this.
