Control surface Special parameters in Logic Pro for Mac
Some control surfaces allow you to define special parameters such as fader touch sensitivity. When a device that offers such parameters is connected, these special parameters area appears in the inspector. Here are some special parameter that appear if you have one of these devices:
OSC Devices
Host Name field: Shows the name of the network host for the OSC connected device.
Output Port field: Shows the network port number for outgoing OSC messages.
Input Port field: Shows the network port number for incoming OSC messages.
Novation Launchpad
Orientation field: Sets the orientation of the Novation Launchpad grid either 90 degrees left or 90 degrees right, in order to match Logic Pro’s grid orientation. Choose the orientation that places the Launchpad control buttons where you prefer them.
Logic Control (and Mackie Control)
Transport button click checkbox: Turns on or off the audible click sound when you press one of the transport buttons.
Touchless moveable faders checkbox: Turns on or off the touch sensitivity of the faders. This can improve performance if something is blocking the capacitance of your finger, for example, if you are wearing gloves.
Fader Touch Sensitivity field: Fine tunes the touch sensitivity of the faders. If you feel that the faders are too jumpy when you touch them, lower this value. If you feel the faders are not responsive enough when you touch them, raise this value.
Backlight Saver Timeout (min) field: Sets the number of minutes before the LCD backlight saver function switches off the LCD display of the device. Reduce this value if you want the display to turn off sooner. Increase this value if you want the display to remain on longer.
Serial No. field: Shows the device serial number.
Recording Light
MIDI Status pop-up menu: Choose the type of MIDI message that is sent to the recording light device. Generally, this will be a “MIDI note on” message, but other data types can be transmitted.
MIDI Channel pop-up menu: Sets the MIDI channel that data is sent on.
Data 1: Any Record Ready LED pop-up menu: Choose how the Recording Light device responds to a track being record-enabled in Logic Pro.
Data 1: Recording pop-up menu: Choose how the Recording Light device responds when the Record button is engaged in Logic Pro.
Data 2: On Value field: Choose the value for the MIDI event that is sent to turn on the Recording Light device. Typically this value is 127.
