14 Chapter 1 Logic Control—Basics
All of your fader and
V-POT
moves can be recorded and will faithfully play back in real-
time. As the Logic Control units are equipped with motorized faders, remote controlled
buttons, knobs and LEDs, your automation data will be reflected on the Logic Control’s
surface instantly. This keeps you completely informed about all levels—for tracks, pan,
parameters, EQs etc.
The feedback you receive on the 2 row, by 55 character LCD is so good, in fact, that you
may find you rarely look at your computer monitor. This facility may also be particularly
useful in situations where computer fan noise is an issue; a common problem for
project studios not equipped with a vocal booth. This allows you to isolate, and
remotely control, your Logic system while singing or performing acoustically in another
room.
For live use, the Logic Control units are ideal. The performing musician now need only
take a laptop, equipped with suitable audio and MIDI interfaces (Emagic EMI 2|6 and
MT4, for example), a keyboard and a Logic Control to a live event. The backlit LCD is
ideal for darkened stage use. The largely metal construction, Penny and Giles™ faders
and solid buttons and switches are built to withstand the rigors of touring.
Given that Logic’s Track Automation facilities can be active, even when not in record
mode, you can capture your “live” realtime changes for later recall. This ensures that
you’ll never again lose that “once-in-a-lifetime” performance—on stage or in the studio.
We have every confidence that the Logic Control system will provide you with many
years of inspiration, fun, reliability and productivity.
Your Logic media production environment will never be the same!
Getting Started
To make use of the Logic Control unit, you will require:
•
an installed copy of Logic Pro7 or Logic Express 7
•
a free MIDI in and out port for each Logic Control or Logic Control XT unit, on any
suitable MIDI interface, e. g. if using a Unitor 8 or AMT 8, which feature 8 MIDI in and
8 MIDI out ports, with one Logic Control and one Logic Control XT, you will need to
use 2 of the Unitor8/AMT8’s MIDI ins and 2 of its MIDI outs.
A “suitable” MIDI interface features drivers which support SysEx communication. Please
consult the documentation that shipped with your MIDI interface.
The number of units which can be run simultaneously is dependent on the availability
of free MIDI in and out ports in your MIDI system. In a “standard” setup, a single Logic
Control unit will be used alone, or accompanied by one or more Logic Control XT units.
It is also possible to make use of several Logic Control and several XT units to create
Control Surface Groups , as discussed in the Logic Reference Manual.
