Specifications

Chapter 2 Logic Control—Details 53
• CONTROL—while held down, the Group Clutch is engaged, i.e. Track Groups are
temporarily disabled.
• C/ALT—fine tuning variation of the function.
Automation Buttons
The five buttons in this area activate/deactivate the various automation modes of
Logic. These work in conjunction with the channel SELECT switches. Simply choose the
channel you wish to automate, select the Automation mode via one of these six
buttons, and move the corresponding fader. The modes are outlined below:
• READ/OFF—Pressing this button repeatedly toggles between the “Read” and “Off”
automation modes.
• Off—Automation is off. The fader will neither send nor receive automation data.
Existing automation data remains untouched. It will still behave as a fader,
however, and will adjust the volume or pan position etc. as usual.
• Read—The fader will read (follow) any existing automation data, but will not write
data, regardless of any movements you make with the mouse or external control
device.
• TOUCH—Writes new parameter changes when the fader is “touched” or V-POT turned
during playback. Any existing track automation data (of the current fader type) will
be replaced by new movements as long as the control is active—i.
e. the fader is
being touched or V-POT is being turned.
• LATCH—Similar to Touch mode, but the control remains activated, even when the
fader is no longer being “touched” or V-POT being turned. In other words, following
the release of the fader, the current fader value will replace the existing automation
data for as long as the sequencer is in playback mode. Press STOP to finish.
• WRITE—Overwrites all existing automation data, or creates new automation data.
Only use it if you wish to destroy all existing automation data.
• TRIM—Not enabled in the release version of Logic 5.
Please consult the readme files of updated versions.
