Controller assignments Control Name and Label fields in Logic Pro for Mac

Control Name and Label parameters

• Control Name field: Shows the name of the control. For supported devices, the control surface name is used. For assignments created with the Learn process on unsupported control surfaces, the control name defaults to “Learned.” You can enter a new name in the field. The control name is for display only and has no effect on function.

• Label field: Shows characters that represent the label for the assignment that appears on the control surface display—for supported control surfaces. Unsupported control surfaces can only send information, not receive it, and therefore cannot display an assignment label.

  If the field contains fixed text, it can contain any number of characters. When used as a placeholder for dynamically created text, however, the field contains three characters that represent the label. The first character is always @, followed by two additional characters. For example, “Send@s#” translates as “Send1,” “Send2,” and so on.

  • Second Character: This character is used to define a type for the event label. For example: t=track, r=surround, s=send slot, S=number of sends, e=EQ band, E=number of EQs, p=insert slot, i=instrument slot, and so on.

  • Third Character: This character is used to define a value for the chosen event label type, such as the track number or name. For example: #=number of track, send slot, EQ band, insert slot, and so on, n=name, p=name of parameter addressed by the assignment, P=name of first parameter, o=parameter offset—counted from 1, O=maximum parameter offset—counted from 1, b=parameter bank offset or bank size—counted from 1, B=total number of banks—counted from 1.
