656 Chapter 22 Control Surface Support
Installation
Control Surface Plug-ins
Dedicated control surface support is achieved through the use of special plug-in files.
These files are automatically added when Logic is installed.
They are located in the Contents > MIDI Device Plug-Ins sub-folder of the Logic
application bundle (to view the bundle contents, Control or right-click on the Logic
application icon, and choose Show Package Contents from the menu). Logic also checks
for control surface plug-ins in the (optional) “/Library/Application Support/Logic/MIDI
Device Plug-Ins” and “~/Library/Application Support/Logic/MIDI Device Plug-Ins” (the
“~” denotes your user home directory) folders.
When new control surface plug-ins are released independently from a Logic update,
please place them in the folders described above (or as advised in the documentation
supplied with the plug-in).
The Setup Window
Some control surface units (Logic Control, for example) are automatically detected
when Logic is launched. Units which are not detected automatically can be added via
the Setup window. This is accessed via the Setup option in the Preferences > Control
Surfaces menu.
Installation is very easy: all you need to do is select the devices that you wish to use in
Logic, in the following ways:
1 Select New > Install, and in the ensuing Install window, select the desired device from
the list.
2 Press the Scan (or Add) button. The selected units will appear onscreen.
Optionally, you can also click Scan all. This will search for all supported control
surface units on all MIDI ports. Please be aware that this may take a while.
The Scan function, Setup window and Install window can all be accessed directly in
the Preferences > Control Surfaces menu.
Rebuild Defaults
The Preferences > Control Surfaces > Rebuild Defaults option re initializes the support of
all connected control surfaces.
