Tutorial
This section guides you through using UF1 with Logic.
V-Pot
At the top of the strip is the V-Pot (virtual pot). The function of the V-Pot varies, depending
on which V-Pot assignment mode is currently active but it is typically used for tasks such
as controlling Pan position, Send levels, Plug-in parameters or scrolling through parameter
options/lists.
The V-Pot has a push function, which is typically used for either defaulting the position of a
parameter being controlled or confirming the selection of a parameter being chosen.
100 mm Motorised Fader
A motorised, touch-sensitive fader provide physical control of your Logic tracks and is great
for balancing mix levels and riding volume automation.
Solo, Cut & Sel (Select)
The UF1 fader strip features SOLO, CUT and SEL keys corresponding to the solo, mute and
select features of the Logic track.
In Use:
Expect the CUT key of UF1 to flash in response to other tracks being solo'd, if the Logic
Control Surface preference 'Flash Mute and Solo Buttons' is ticked.
In Logic MCP (Mackie Control Protocol), only one track can be selected using the SEL key
at a time.
Flip
Pressing the FLIP key will engage or disengage one of Logic's three possible Flip modes -
'Flip', 'Swap' or 'Zero'. These are useful for various reasons, the most obvious 'Flip' feature
allowing you to control V-Pot parameters such as Send levels or Plug-in parameters on the
fader instead of the V-Pots. The Flip mode used is configured in the Mackie Control Surface
Setup.
Master
The Master Key enables the UF1 fader to control Logic's Master Fader,.
