Using Automation Quick Access<br />

The Automation Quick Access feature makes track automation extremely fast and simple<br />

if you only have one hardware MIDI controller available (one fader on your MIDI keyboard,<br />

or maybe just the modulation wheel). You can use this single hardware controller to<br />

access (and automate) the currently active automation parameter of the selected track<br />

in the Arrange window.<br />

To set up Automation Quick Access<br />

1 Open Automation preferences, by doing one of the following:<br />

• Choose <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> > Preferences > Automation (or use the Open Automation Preferences<br />

key command, default assignment: Option-A).<br />

• Click the Preferences button in the Arrange toolbar, and choose Automation from the<br />

menu.<br />

2 Turn on Automation Quick Access, by clicking the On button in the Automation Quick<br />

Access section.<br />

A dialog prompts you to assign a controller.<br />

Tip: You can quickly turn on the Automation Quick Access setting via the local Track ><br />

Track Automation menu (or use the Toggle Automation Quick Access key command,<br />

default assignment: Control-Option-Command-A).<br />

3 Click the Assign button and slowly move the hardware controller that you want to use<br />

for Automation Quick Access. Make sure that it’s moved through its entire range.<br />

4 Confirm your selection by clicking the Done button below the Off/On buttons in the<br />

Automation Quick Access section.<br />

The Done button turns into a Learn Message button. Clicking the Learn Message button<br />

allows you to assign a new controller for Automation Quick Access.<br />

Clicking the Edit button opens the Controller Assignments window, where you can assign<br />

the controller manually. See the <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> Control Surfaces Support manual for more<br />

information.<br />

Once set up, you will have hardware control over the active automation parameter on<br />

the current arrange track.<br />
