Manage key command sets in Logic Remote on iPhone — Apple Support

Manage key command sets in Logic Remote on iPhone — Apple Support

As soon as you edit the original key command set for Logic Pro in Logic Remote, a LogicKeyCommands.plist file is saved to the File Sharing area. You can share, back up, or restore the key command set from the File Sharing area.

I want to reset the key commands in Logic Remote to their default state. My reading of the documentation tells me that removing the file(s) LogicKeyCommands.plist from the Logic Remote space (see using the Finder to work with files on iPad and iPhone).

Deleting the plist file resets the key commands.

NB Key command layout is problematic if you want to share key commands between Logic Remote on iPad and iPhone.

Add, remove, and edit key commands in Logic Remote on iPhone — Apple Support

After you turn on key command editing, you can add, remove, move, and customize key commands to suit your own workflow needs. You can also organize key commands by color.

The default commands in Logic Remote are numerous, and not very interesting for my work. I need to create a set of commands. I will start by removing some.

Tap the Settings icon (gear) at the top right of the display. Choose ‘Edit Key Commands’. Edit/Move/Delete as desired. Tap ‘Done’.

When searching for commands I can press the microphone button on the search field and speak the command.

I was inspired by going through the complete Groove3 tutorial for Logic Remote.

Control Multiple Instruments on Different MIDI Channels — Logic Pro Help

Control Multiple Instruments on Different MIDI Channels — Logic Pro Help

Controlling multiple instruments on different MIDI channels in Logic is easy, and it does not require you to ever open the environment! It also allows you to record different controller keyboards on different software instrument or external MIDI tracks. Whether you’re trying to use an external sequencer (like an MPC 2000, or even another computer running Logic) to trigger instruments within Logic, or whether you’re simply trying to play different instruments using different MIDI controllers, read on.

Mackie Control Global View buttons in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Mackie Control Global View buttons in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The GLOBAL VIEW button is used in conjunction with the other eight GLOBAL VIEW buttons to display (and edit) specific types of channel strips. Pressing any of the buttons activates All View; when this view is active, the green LED to the right of the GLOBAL VIEW button is lit.

I have become fond of using ‘Single’ view in the mixer. If I select one of my summing stacks and switch to ‘Single’ I get the AUX and all of the channels visible in the mixer windows and in the faders on the X-Touch.

I haven’t been able to find documentation on how to switch the X-Touch into ‘Single’ view. Pressing the ‘Global View’ button toggles between ‘Arrange’ (tracks) and ‘All’.

After much experimentation I have discovered the OPTION-GLOBAL VIEW button press. This switches the mixer to ‘Single’ view. Excellent!

Mapping Remix FX to Launchpad in Logic Pro — 9to5Mac

Mapping Remix FX to Launchpad in Logic Pro — 9to5Mac

Considering how simple it is to download Logic Remote for free and use your iPhone as a sort of always-on, heads-up display, solely for Remix FX, alongside your Launchpad, I’m still not sure any of this is worth the trouble anyway. As much as I would like to have this one, single Logic Pro controller instrument in front me that I can completely master, and ignore as much of everything else as possible, Launchpad’s touch-button toggles and faders just don’t seem to be able to keep up with Apple’s remote multi-touch screen control. I get it, with Logic Remote you can be flipping and waving your fingers across the iPad, automatically and simultaneously engaging and adjusting various FX with immersive touch and swipe movements. And it all just works immediately and always with no mapping needed.
