If a Logic Audio presents you with a dialog box when it recognizes the SAC-2K/2.2, suggesting you update the firmware, press [Cancel].
The basic assumption of this manual concerning using the SAC-2K/2.2 in Logic Control mode is that you have already connected, set up and installed the SAC-2K or SAC 2.2. You can use either the MIDI or the USB connection, the functionality is the same.
Click on the Logic Control icon. On the left side of the setup window you should now see the parameters of the selected control surface. In the section “Special Parameters” you should definitely deactivate the option “Touchless movable faders”. Use of this function with equipment with reliable touch sensitivity technology is not advisable, because in this mode fader movement is also used to recognize activation of the fader.
display blank spaces for a correct replication of Track Names between the individual channels. If these options are checked it is possible that long parameter names can be separated in pieces. Display duration (s) This parameter determines how long the alternate longer version of the parameter name is shown in the display, after releasing the relevant encoder.
SAC Mixer Mode Buttons Located Between the two fader groups of the SAC are the Mixer Mode buttons. In the following chart you can see the LGC assignments. SAC M ixe r M ode B uttons Track Send Assignment Pan/Surround Plugin Instrument MIDI-Tracks...
The Master Select Button The [Master Select] button above the master fader has been assigned the [Global view] button function of the Logic Control. Master-Select Button SAC Button LC Mode Function Master Select Global View Button The Channel Strip Buttons The Channel Strip buttons of the SAC are used to activate the various automation modes of Logic Audio.
Instructions for storing the startup operation mode can be found in your SAC manual. The Start-up mode can only be stored with the SAC 2.2 model. Users of the SAC-2K can store their setting via MIDI dump to a computer. See more about this in the SAC-2.2 Manual.

The lowest four of the Mixer Mode buttons are used for moving the display section of the mixer. Instead of directly selecting a specific fader group (as just described) you can move the selection of the currently displayed track upwards or downwards.
Parameters available for selection are shown blinking in the display. The selection won’t take place until you have pushed the according encoder button. Parameters which are not available for editing are not displayed in the SAC at all nor offered for selection. For instance, if you would like to change the position [Pre/Post] of a FX Send, this FX send has to be activated.
By pushing down the [shift] button while pushing the [flip] button, Logic will activate a “Flip-Swap” mode. In this mode the parameter assigned to the encoder will be assigned to the fader, while the fader parameter can be edited with the encoder.
Recording of Track Automation Of course you can automate all parameters in Logic Audio. To turn on automation you won’t need a mouse! You can comfortably call up the various automation modes with the channel strip buttons of the SAC. Automation Buttons Modifier Button...
