Control surfaces Modal dialog display in Logic Pro for Mac
All modal dialogs (except File Open dialogs) appear on the LCD display of control surfaces that feature text displays. Examples of modal dialogs include authorization warnings, edit confirmations, or error messages.
Important: You cannot perform actions in any other window while a modal dialog is visible.
The modal dialog text appears in the upper row of the LCD. If the dialog text does not fit in the LCD’s upper row, it scrolls after three seconds. You can scroll the dialog text manually with an appropriate control for your device. Once you start scrolling the text manually, automatic scrolling is disabled.
If your control surface has an Enter or OK button, press it to trigger the default button in the dialog.
If your control surface has a Cancel or an Exit button, press it to trigger the button labeled Cancel or Abort in the dialog.
All buttons in the modal dialog (push buttons, including Enter, Default, and Cancel, as well as checkboxes and radio buttons, but not pop-up menus) appear in the display’s lower row.
Pressing a control surface button below the display triggers the appropriate function in the dialog, if applicable. Once you press an Enter or a Cancel button on the control surface (or click it onscreen), the dialog disappears, and all controls and displays return to their previous state.
When a File Open dialog appears onscreen, the “There is a file select dialog on the screen” message appears on the LCD. Use your keyboard and mouse to perform the required operation and close the dialog.
