Plug-In Edit View
The mode display shows "P1" to "P8," depending on the number of the selected plug-in insert slots.
<
The LCD display will change in the following ways between the two modes:
<
CHAN INFO (LED blinking on)—The upper LCD row shows the track's name, insert number, plug-in name, current parameter
<
page and total number of parameter pages. The lower LCD row shows the name of the parameter, which is edited via the
encoder knob below.
CHAN INFO (LED off)—The upper LCD row shows the name of the parameter that is edited via the encoder knob below. The
<
lower LCD row shows the current value of the parameter edited with the encoder knob. If there is sufficient onscreen space, the
unit type will be added—e.g. "Hz."
Turning the encoder knobs changes the parameter.
<
The arrow left and right buttons (t, u) switch to the next or previous parameter page.
<
Note that when shifting by page, this always quantizes to integer pages. As an example, if the plug-in has 19 parameters:
ProjectMix I/O shows parameters 1 to 8.
<
CURSOR RIGHT shifts to 9 to 16.
<
CURSOR RIGHT shifts to 12 to 19.
<
CURSOR LEFT shifts back to 9 to 16, not to 4 to 11.
<
This way, you always revert to the page positions you expect to find.
To switch by a single parameter, rather than by page, hold down the ALT button while pressing the arrow left or right button (t, u).
<
The arrow left and right buttons (t, u) change the currently displayed plug-in insert slot (1 to 8).
<
When exiting Plug-In Edit view, the Plug-In window will be closed (if the chain icon is inactive).
Compatibility
Logic Control can edit all plug-ins that have automatable parameters, no matter what the plug-in type (built-in, TDM*, VST, AU, RTAS,
DirectX).
Some plug-ins don't provide parameter names and/or values as text. In this case, the parameters are numbered as "Control #1,"
"Control #2," etc., and the values are displayed as numbers between 0 and 1000.
Some VST plug-ins don't allow you to retrieve the value range; in this case the range 0 to 1000 is assumed. This can be inconvenient
with switch controllers on the plug-in since they can't be toggled using the encoder knobs. In this case hold down the SHIFT button and
turn the encoder knob to toggle the plug-in switch.
DirectX supports automatable parameters since version 8. However it is not sufficient to install this version—the DirectX plug-ins must
also support the new functions. As a rule, you should contact the plug-in's manufacturer in order to get a version that supports the
features offered on the ProjectMix I/O.
*The ProjectMix I/O can be operated in Mackie HUI mode to act as a control surface when used in conjunction with TDM audio
hardware.
Select In Button (SEL IN): Read Automation
This is a global read automation button.
Select Out Button (SEL OUT): Touch Automation
This is a global touch automation button.
Meter Button (MTR): Channel Meters
This button will activate the ProjectMix I/O channel meters, which show up as horizontal bar meters in the LCD display.
Flip Button (FLIP)
Pressing the FLIP button will switch the parameter assignment between the faders and the encoder knobs (i.e., the parameter assigned to the
encoder knob is now controlled by the fader, and vice-versa). As the faders are touch-sensitive and the encoder knobs are not, assigning the
encoder knob functions to the faders allows you to write smoother automation to these values.
Channel Information Button (CHAN INFO)
This is a modifier button and has no function of its own.
Set Up Button (SET UP): ProjectMix I/O Internal Functions
Press the SET UP button to access utility functions of the ProjectMix I/O like LCD Contrast. The SET UP button will light solid red. After pressing
SET UP, press the SEL key below the function you wish to edit on the LCD, then follow the instructions on the LCD to access parameters and
edit values.
Hold down the SET UP key for one second and the key will blink red. This will turn off the motorized faders on the ProjectMix I/O. Hold down
the SET UP key again for one second to turn the motorized faders back on.
