in logic u click on the left “logic pro X”
then select “setup”
if logic hasnt detected already your C4 Pro click oin “new” and then “scan all models”
Select C4 (there is no pro) so u use the C4
now u will see a C4 icon click on it and on the left pane make sure that
u have “display mode” to “value” and not to “name”
now close the window
make an instance of a Plugin Effect, i suggest a 3rd party EQ, on a track
now on the C4 pro press and hold the “chan strip” button in the “assignement” rectangle
while holding “chan strip” u will see “plugin mixer” on the second row from the bottom
press on it and let go of “chan strip”
now on the top screen of the C4 pro u will see a the name or acrnym of the plugin
Press(not turn) the knob right under the name
now u will see all the row”s LCD screen display all the EQ parameters
the layout of most plugin on the C4 pro are NOT ideal
u can chage that with app called Plistedit Pro its a no limitation Demo
install it and now go back to logic
use the Logic only preset browser(not the plugin’s preset browser) click on it and select
“save as Default”
this will create the “#default” file
still on the Logic browser u then select “Save as…” and save over that “#default”” file
it will ask if u want to save over that already existing file Say yes
now with the finder go to Macintosh HD>Users>probablyyourname>Library>Audio>preset
there u will see plugin names
go to your plugin and open the “CSParameterOrder.plist” file with Plistedit pro
In there u will see a pointing down arrow called root and right under there will be a “contyrolsurfaceparameterOrder”
click on its arrow and now u can see from zero to whatver number of parameters
now change the order of these by click and drag
note zero counts as the C4 Pro”s Top Row left knob
now this is the part where maybe there is a better way to do it but the way I do it is
in plistedit i do File>save and then go back to logic and remove the plugin instance and re-instantiate it
the chages u made are now displaying as u want them on your C4 Pro
if anyone has a better way to do it and/or knows how to use the knob pressing
please chime in
PS u might have to tweak the resolution of the knob twisting i had a problem where i had to turn the knobs 5 to 6 time just to go from 0 to 100%
u can fix this here
