Usually, when a device is added to a control surface group, the device is added to the
right of the other devices in the group, and its device icon is placed to the right of
existing device icons. The new addition to the control surface group is assigned a fader
bank offset based on how many faders are present in the other devices to the left of the
new device. For example, if there are two control surface devices, each with 8 faders,
to the left of the new device, the new device is assigned a Fader Bank Offset of 16. By
changing this parameter manually, you can choose specific banks of faders to control
specific channel strips in the Logic Pro Mixer.
As an example, Mackie C4 with 8 faders creates a control surface group with a Mackie
Control, also with 8 faders. By default, the Mackie Control would have a Fader Bank
Offset of 8, and control channel strips 9-16 in the Logic Pro Mixer. However, you may
want to dedicate the Mackie Control to VCA channel strips in positions 17-24 in the
Mixer. In this case, you could set a Fader Bank Offset of 16 so that the Mackie Control’s
channel strips would correspond to the VCA channel strips in the Mixer.

groups.
Live Loops Scene Offset field: Sets the Live Loops scene offset for the device within a
control surface group. The offset determines which scenes the device’s scene buttons
control.
Usually, when a grid-oriented loop-triggering hardware device such as the Novation
Launchpad is added to an existing control surface group, the new device is added to
the right of existing devices, its icon is added to the right of the existing device icons,
and the new device is given a scene offset based on the number of scenes can be
controlled by loop-triggering devices before the new device in the group. For example,
if a Launchpad is added to an existing control surface group consisting of a Launchpad
Pro and Launchpad Mini both of which can control 8 scenes each, the new Launchpad
is assigned a Live Loops Scene Offset of 16. If instead, you want the new Launchpad to
control scenes 25-32, set a Live Loops Scene Offset of 24.
Note: When multiple Launchpads are added to a control surface, the Live Loops Scene
Offset determines which scenes they control, but all the devices will control channel
strips 1-8 in the Logic Pro Mixer. Both Launchpad scene and fader control can be
globally offset using the control surface group parameters Fader Bank for Tracks View
and Live Loops Column Bank in the Control Surface Group inspector, or by using the
Launchpad’s cursor keys. See Overview of Control Surface Group parameters to learn
more about control surface groups, and Novation Launchpad in Use Control Surfaces in
Logic Pro.
