Solid State Logic Matrix 2 User Manual

Logic Pro
T
he DAW protocol used by Logic Pro is the Mackie Control Unit (MCU) protocol. Therefore when a Logic Profile is assigned
to a Matrix DAW layer, in order for Matrix to control Logic, a Mackie Control together with a Mackie Control Extender must
be added to Logic Pro. Click on
#@454@4=24A then >=B@>;&C@5024A&4BC? to access the menu shown below.
Both the Mackie Control and Mackie Control
E
xtender provide just eight faders. Therefore Matrix
faders 1-8 are mapped to the Mackie Control ports
along with the master fader and DAW Control
function switches whilst faders 9-16 are mapped to
the Mackie Control Extender ports. The actual
ipMIDI ports used will depend on which layer (or
layers) have a Logic Profile assigned. (Refer to the
previous page for a list of Matrix’s MIDI port
assignments.)
The screenshot opposite gives an example of Logic
having been setup on DAW 2 layer. The Mackie
Control has its Input and Output ports set to 3 and
the Mackie Control Extender has its Input and Output
ports set to 4.
It is recommended that you delete any Mackie
controllers automatically created on set-up, and
recreate them manually. Note that if the physical
arrangement is reversed, then the Matrix faders will
not map correctly to the on-screen faders in Logic.
If Logic is the only DAW connected to Matrix, then
provided that there is only one DAW Layer set up
with an MCU based Profile, Logic should automatically
detect the two virtual controllers which will be shown in the Logic
>=B@>;&C@5024A&4BC? menu (as shown above), with the
appropriate Matrix ipMIDI ports assigned. If Logic fails to detect the control surfaces, then the controllers can be added manually
via the !4E, =AB0;; menu and the appropriate MIDI Out port and Input assigned. Full details can be found in the online Logic
Pro Control Surfaces Support Guide in the Logic 4;? menu.
If Matrix is set up with multiple MCU profiles in the DAW layers, then the automatic detection option must be disabled and the
controllers added and configured manually. Check the
8A01;40=3A70:4 box in the * tab in Matrix Remote (located
below the 38B#@>58;4A button) for all the DAW layers assigned to a MCU Profile prior to starting the Logic application. This
will prevent Logic automatically detecting multiple Mackie Control Units.
For other DAWs, please refer to the relevant User Guide for details about configuring MIDI controllers.
See Chapter 6 for a description of the Remote’s * tab.
