Multi Channel View/Channel Strip View. High-speed RISC microcontroller.
Overview
Unleash the power of Logic Audio 5 with this ingenious creation from Emagic and Mackie. Are you tired of using the mouse for everything, and long for the old days of mixers? Here's your solution.
Multi Channel View/Channel Strip View
Logic Control knows 2 different modes of operation: Multi Channel View/Channel Strip View:
Multi Channel View - you see one parameter for all tracks.
Channel Strip View - you see several parameters of a function "block" - EQs, as an example - for the selected track.
Switching between these modes is achieved via a simple key press.
LC Display
The LCD (dependent on the current mode) displays a range of different information.
Parameter names and values usually refer to the V-Pot directly below the entry in the LCD.
The information shown in the LCD can be switched between parameter names and values.
When in Multi Channel View, the upper row of the LCD always displays the track name. The lower LCD row displays the parameter name or the parameter value of the parameter currently controlled by the V-Pots.
In Channel Strip View, the upper row of the LCD displays the parameter name and the lower LCD row indicates the parameter value.
Alternately, the upper row of the LCD will show the name of the selected track, the selected function area and the current page inside the selected function area (if there are several pages). In this mode, the parameter names appear in the lower row of the LCD.
Switching between these modes is via a simple key stroke.… read more
As an example: If you use an Audio Instrument like the ES1, there are 33 parameters. Now, imagine a configuration of one Logic Control and an additional XT unit. In channel strip mode you can edit a maximum of 16 parameters, in parallel, with the V-Pots. To edit the next 16 parameters, you need to switch to the next "bank" of 16 parameters/V-Pots a.s.o. With a more complex Audio Instrument, the number of "banks" increases. If you only have a Logic Control without an XT unit, there would be 5 "banks" for the ES1. (4 x banks, each containing 8 V-Pots for the first 32 parameters, and another bank for the 33rd parameter.
Level Metering
Signal LED: indicates signal presence for a track (audio and MIDI).
Optional level meter: If the signal LED's are insufficient for your needs, a horizontal level meter can be displayed on the lower row of the LCD display.
Display of Peak Hold (as known from the audio objects)
Permanent display of overloads (can be reset)
The display of level meters does not require any additional MIDI bandwidth.
Turn on/off via a single key stroke.
V-Pots/V-Selects
Fast response to the rotation of V-Pots results in smooth and precise value changes.
The circular LED segments surrounding each V-Pot display the current parameter value. This will vary as follows, dependent on the selected parameter:
Single segment (e.g. panorama, frequency)
Connected series of LED segments from left to right (e.g. send level)
Connected series of LED segments, starting in the center position and fanning to the left OR right (e.g. EQ gain)
Series of connected LED segments, starting in the center position and fanning to the left AND right (e.g. Q-Factor)
An LED indicates when the parameter value is in the centered/default position
Use of the V-Select button generally resets the currently selected parameter to it's default value. If a parameter has only 2 values, V-Select toggles between these 2 values. V-Selects can also used for (de)activating certain modes, for which no hardware buttons exists. The names of these modes are displayed in the LCD.
Surround-Angle is not limited to values between 0 and 359 degrees read less
