7. Go to Preferences > MIDI and select the Inputs tab. In this list, ensure that any SSL V-MIDI Ports you need are ticked. e.g. If
you have 1 UF8, just tick SSL V-MIDI Port 1 Source. If you have 2 UF8s, tick SSL V-MIDI Port 1 Source and SSL V-MIDI Port 2
Source etc.
Versions of Logic preceding 10.5 may not have the 'Inputs' tab available. If so, you can skip this step, as all MIDI
ports default to be turned on.
8. Go to the Control Surfaces > Setup. Click New > Install... from the drop-down list in the top-left of the window. From the list,
choose Mackie Designs | Mackie Control | Logic Control and click the Add button. Click on the image of the Mackie Control that
has been added to the window and in the device setup options list on the left-hand side, configure the Output Port to SSL V-MIDI
Port 1 Destination and set the Input Port to SSL V-MIDI Port 1 Source.
Subsequent UF8s should be set up as extender units i.e. Mackie Designs | Mackie Control Extender | Logic Control and their
input and output ports increased incrementally for each UF8. e.g. a second UF8 is set up as a Mackie Control Extender, with
Input and Output Ports assigned to SSL V-MIDI Port 2.
If you do not see the device setup options list on the left-hand side, press 'i' on your computer keyboard to show it.
Ensure that each Mackie Control Extender (additional UF8) has the 'Fader Bank Offset' setting in the device setup
options list set to '8' for the second UF8, '16' for the third and '24' for the fourth.
Ensure that 'Channel Strip View Mode' is set to 'Arrange' in the device setup options list, to ensure that UF8 follows
the order of tracks in your Logic arrangement.
STEP 7 : Enable SSL V-MIDI Port(s) in Logic.
If you're working with a version of Logic that precedes
10.5, then skip this step.
STEP 8 : Set up the first UF8 as a Mackie Control Unit and
subsequent UF8s as Mackie Control Extenders, incrementing the
SSL V-MIDI Port number for each Extender.
