Recording and Playback of Fader Movements

Recording Fader Movements

You don’t need any special cabling to record the data generated by a fader. All data

generated by faders is recorded on the selected track when Logic is in record or record/

pause mode. The recorded events correspond to the out definitions of the faders.

Playing Back Fader Movements

Any fader will react to incoming events that match its In definition. The fader must, of

course, be in the MIDI signal path. Typically, you accomplish this by cabling the track

instrument into the fader. For automated mixing tasks, it is useful to create a new

(standard) instrument for the sole purpose of fader automation. Ensure that the

instrument (which might be named “playback”) has no direct MIDI output, that its

channel setting is All, and that it is connected to the first fader in any chain of serially-

cabled faders.

Fader Styles

The fader’s style is shown in the line under the icon. It can be changed by clicking on

the current style name, and selecting the new style from the pop-up menu.

Remember that a fader’s style does not usually affect its function—you can select the

most convenient style for the desired use of the Object.

The following section provides notes on some of the fader styles:

Vertical/Mute

This is exactly like the Vertical 4 fader style, with an added mute switch. When you

press the mute switch, the fader sends an event matching its Out definition with a

value of 0. The fader’s movements are not sent while the mute switch is on (down). The

current fader value is sent when you turn the mute switch off (up).
