30 Chapter 1 Basic Control Surface Setup
 Jog resolution depends on horizontal zoom checkbox: When active, the precision of
scrubbing (using the jog/shuttle wheel of your control surface) is determined by the
horizontal zoom level of Logic Pro. Your control surface must feature a jog/shuttle
wheel (or similar control) for this to have any effect. To retain a consistent resolution,
regardless of Logic Pro window zoom levels, disable this checkbox.
 Pickup Mode checkbox: When active, the control surface operates in Pickup mode (if
this mode is available). Some control surfaces, typically those without motorized
faders or knobs, do not show parameter changes—caused by playing back existing
automation data—on their interface. Such control surfaces usually offer a pickup
mode. In pickup mode, the controller must reach (“pick up”) the current value before
the value starts to change. This prevents sudden jumps of parameter values caused
by playing back automation. Your device may feature a display (usually a pair of
arrow LEDs) that indicates the direction or distance you need to move the controller,
in order to match the settings shown in Logic Pro (also known as NULL). Once you
have matched the onscreen values, deactivate Pickup mode and start automating.
When Pickup mode is disabled, adjusting a fader modifies the parameter
immediately (which can result in parameter value jumps).
 Multiple Controls per Parameter pop-up menu: Choose the maximum number of
encoders used for each parameter, when editing plug-ins or audio instruments. The
choices are:
 1: Parameters are always displayed using one encoder per parameter, with the
least space available for parameter name and value in the LCD.
 2: On each unit, encoders 1 and 2 are used for the first parameter, encoders 3 and
4 for the second, and so on.
 4: On each unit, encoders 1 to 4 are used for the first parameter, encoders 5 to 8
for the second, and so on.
 8: On each unit, encoders 1 to 8 are used for the first parameter, encoders 9 to16
for the second, and so on.
When multiple encoders are used per parameter, the encoders are divided into
groups (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, for example). The first encoder of each group controls the
parameter shown in the display. The remaining encoders are inactive.
Using more than one encoder per parameter shows fewer parameters at any given
time, but you gain space on the LCD to cater for longer parameter names and values.
The more control surfaces you have within a control surface group, the more you
benefit from this feature.
