This time select
Mackie Designs - Mackie Control Extender - Logic
Control
and click
Add
.
This will add an
8 track 'Extender' controller surface
to the Master
Controller.
(A screen may inform you that there is already a Mackie controller, click
OK
to close this warning).
u
Click on the newly created icon, and at the top of the left hand pane,
select the
Input
and
Out Port
port to
Port 2
, or whatever was set in the
Genesys software for the second block of 8 tracks.
u
In this way, continue to add Extender Controllers until you match port-
for-port the settings in the Genesys software. Therefore you will have one
Master and up to a maximum of five Extenders (depending on the size of
your Genesys console and the MIDI Ports allocated in the Genesys
software).
Once finished, all of the controllers should be bordered by a grey box to
indicate that they are all in the same control group.
u
Once all these parameters, controllers and MIDI Ports have been set,
close this screen.
Operation
The following presumes all hardware/software has been configured
correctly and the
DAW
button is lit and the Genesys is a 16 channel
console.
If Logic has been configured incorrectly or there is no DAW
communication, the message '
Waiting for DAW..... Port # x
' will be
displayed on each panel when you press the
DAW
button (where
x
is the
number of MIDI Port assigned to that panel).
Due to the limitation of the 4-character display on the faders, the Logic
track names will be truncated when displayed on Genesys.
The four DAW encoders found at the bottom of the Monitor Panel (as
shown in the image to the left in
red)
are used to control DAW
parameters, levels, and buttons. The console faders on Genesys control
the DAW faders.
In DAW mode when controlling
Sends (Aux), Pans, Plug-ins
:
•
The
F5
button is used as a
FLIP
control. With the
F5
button lit,
FLIP mode is on, it will swap the Genesys faders between
controlling the actual DAW fader level itself to controlling the
Sends (Aux) or Pans or Plug-ins levels/positions.
The
t
and
u
buttons will assign tracks to the DAW encoders, four at a
time (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16... then back round again etc.).
The tracks assigned to the encoders are indicated on the console surface
by lighting a block of four
SEL
leds just above the Genesys faders (left).
Tip:
When a block of 4
SEL
buttons is lit in this way, you can immediately set
any other block of 4 to the encoders by pressing any one of the
SEL
buttons on the Genesys console .
