Controller assignments Control Name and Label fields in
Logic Pro
The Control Name and Label fields are shown at the top right of the Controller Assignment
parameters in the Expert View window.
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.
Controller assignments Flip Group and Exclusive parameters
in Logic Pro
The Flip Group field and Exclusive checkbox are shown in the Controller Assignment
parameters at the top right of the Expert View window.
Flip Group and Exclusive parameters
• Flip Group Field: Enter the same integer value for two assignments to define a
counterpart for Flip mode—for supported control surfaces that provide Flip mode. By
setting a fader and an encoder to the same flip group, for example, they are coupled. To
set “none,” enter a value of 0.
For unsupported devices, you need to set up two active assignments, both of which use
the same flip group. One assignment needs to be absolute (using a fader, for example),
and the other assignment needs to be relative (an encoder, for example).
• Exclusive checkbox: Turn on to deactivate all other assignments having Exclusive turned
off for the same control, in order to limit a modeless assignment to particular modes.
For example, faders normally control volume. To create a mode where faders control the
send level, select Exclusive.
