50 Chapter 1 Using Logic

The Learn New Assignment button allows you to “teach” Logic a new assignment for the

selected key command. Click on the button, and use the desired control.

Note: If you wish to set up assignments for an entire control surface, be it supported or

unsupported, make use of the Preferences > Control Surfaces > Learn Assignment for xxx

function. This is discussed in detail in the Control Surfaces chapter of this manual (see

“Customizing Control Surfaces” on page 668).

Assigning and Deleting Key Commands

This section discusses a number of Learn functions that allow you to assign particular

computer keys or MIDI commands to Logic functions. Closing the Key Commands

window automatically disables any active Learn button.

To assign a function to a key:

1 Activate the Learn by Key Label button.

2 Select the desired function with the mouse.

3 Press the desired key, along with the desired modifier keys (Shift, Control, Option,

Command), if necessary.

4 If you want to make another assignment, repeat steps 2 and 3.

5 Deactivate Learn by Key Label Key

Learn by Key Positionworks in the same way, but differs in that it’s not just a reference to

an ASCII code that is stored, but the actual code of the key that is pressed.

In practice, this means that you can, for example, assign different commands to the

number keys on the numeric keypad and the number keys above the keyboard—and

the same goes for the different plus and minus keys on the numeric keypad and main

keyboard.

The only disadvantage is that the key code (a number), rather than the ASCII symbol, is

displayed in the Key Commands window. The ASCII symbol is more useful for reference

purposes.

To clarify the difference between these two functions, here’s a short comparison:

If you use the Learn by Key Label function, and define only one key command for the

key, it will be used, no matter which of the two keys (either plus key, for example) is

pressed.

If you use the Learn by Key Position function, and define two key commands (one for

the alphanumeric keyboard, one for the numeric keypad), then the appropriate key

command will be used (one for each plus key, for example).
