4.1.4 Arm/ Select (61 & 49 Key Models Only)
The ‘Arm/ Select’ button is used to set the functionality of the 8 ‘Track Buttons’ to either arm tracks,
enabling recording; or to select a track. While set to Arm the buttons light up red when a track is
armed for recording and dim red when not. Unlit buttons show that no track is associated with the
fader.
When set to Select the buttons will be lit white, with selected tracks being bright and unselected
tracks dim. Pushing a fader button will select that track.
4.1.5 Transport Functions
The MIDI Buttons shown below provide key functionality for performing and recording with Logic Pro.
• Capture Midi - pressing this will trigger the “Capture as Recording” function in Logic
• Click - toggles the metronome click
• Undo - pressing this will trigger the undo function
• Record - pressing this will trigger the record function
• Play & Stop - these buttons control playback of the track.
• Loop - toggles the transport loop (“Cycle Mode”)
4.1.6 Navigation
The ◄ and ►track buttons allow you to navigate between which track is currently selected. When in
Session Mode the pad for the currently selected track will be lit a brighter red than the non-selected
tracks and you will notice the smart controls will change with the selected track when in Device Mode.
