Secondary Functions Of The Selection Mode Keys
You will notice that there are additional labels beneath the SELECTION MODE keys. These functions are accessed by a press and
hold action and provide useful additional workflow features in Logic:
Clear Solos
Press and hold CLEAR and then press any SOLO key.
Clear Mutes/Cuts
Press and hold CLEAR and then press any CUT key.
Zero Fader
Press and hold ZERO and then press a SEL key (SEL key must not be currently selected one).
Channel Encoder
By default, the CHANNEL encoder is used to move your DAW tracks across the UF8 surface, in increments of 1 channel at a time.
If you find yourself in NAV or FOCUS modes, simply push the CHANNEL encoder to return to CHANNEL mode.
Nav
Pressing the NAV key changes the CHANNEL encoder to operate the playhead position in Logic,
allowing you to navigate through your session.
Nudge
Disabled. Only applies to Pro Tools profiles.
Focus
Pressing the FOCUS key puts the CHANNEL encoder into Focus mode, which emulates the scroll
function of a mouse. This can be a really nice way of controlling plug-ins or anything else on screen
that responds to a mouse scroll operation. Simply open a plug-in GUI, hover your computer mouse
over a control and turn the encoder for hands-on control.
The sensitivity of FOCUS mode will vary depending on what plug-in or on-screen element you are controlling. You
can use the mouse scroll sensitivity setting in your computer preferences to adjust to taste.
Bank Keys
The BANK < > keys allow you to move tracks across your UF8 control surface(s) in multiples of 8, depending on how many UF8s
are connected. e.g. 8 for one UF8, 16 for 2 UF8s etc.
