facej Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Sends on Faders is outstanding. It took a couple of updates to Logic to make it work "properly" on my X-Touch - but now it does it just fine. Speaking of that - I use track stacks (summing) most of the time. With all the stacks collapsed I can usually have 8 faders to work with. Expanding the stack changes what's on the faders, and not in a way that I find pleasing. What I find that works better for me is switching the mixer to "Single" mode. The AUX channel moves to fader 1, no matter which fader it was on - very handy. Switch back to tracks mode and the surface returns to where it was. It might be interesting to find out what the X-Touch One does when you put the mixer into 'Single' mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratquebec Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 By default, no you can't control sends. I was just thinking about this, had a niggly feeling and so I went and tried it. I wasn't completely correct about saying you can't control sends. You *can* control sends via the XT One (and HUI etc), because Logic has a "Sends on Faders" function, and this translates to control surfaces too. So if you eg flip Send 1 onto the faders, then you can easily control (or automate) that send level with the fader. Which is cool! Great workaround to control the sends with the x-touch one indeed!

facej Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 FLIP does different things depending on modes. When 'Sends on Faders' is active FLIP changes the fader from controlling the send level to controlling volume. On the MCU FLIP will allow you to use faders instead of VPOTS to adjust levels/positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratquebec Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Ok, then I should get the same behaviour on my X-Touch when Sends on fader is active. Gonna try that later today. UPDATE-1/2: (unless I'm wrong...) X-Touch in Pan Mode Sends on Faders On/Off S.O.F=On, Flip=Off Fader controls the send V-Pot controls nothing but the X-Touch scribble strip outputs Pan values -64 to+63. S.O.F=On, Flip=On Fader controls nothing but the X-Touch scribble strip outputs Pan values -64 to+63. V-Pot controls nothing but the X-Touch scribble strip outputs Pan values -64 to+63. and the fader moves accordingly. Behaviour is indeed different in Track, Pan and Send modes. Will update later with behaviour in Track and Send modes. UPDATE 2/2 OK, in short, when Sends On Faders is active in the Logic Pro mixer, using the FLIP modes FLIP or SWAP, ( on my X-Touch anyway), is totally useless, in each assignments in either GLOBAL VIEW or CHANNEL VIEW. If someone knows a way to deactivate the FLIP button when the Sends On Faders is active in the mixer that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
