Group property editing (group LED is on):  G1 to 32 = group number Chapter 5 CM Labs Motormix 125 Control Rotary Selector Assignment Selects a slot or parameter for rotary encoders, depending on the parameter type(s) being edited with the rotary encoders:  Send slot when editing send level or assigning send destination.  Effect/instrument parameter page when editing a plug-in or instrument. Rotary Switches Flip mode between Off and Duplicate (faders duplicate rotary encoder Selector assignments). push button SHIFT Switches Display mode for channel strip displays: switches between:  Page info in upper line, parameter name in lower line.  Parameter name in upper line, parameter value in lower line. Multi Buttons These buttons (labelled A to H) have multiple uses, depending on the current mode, as indicated by the green and yellow LEDs to the right. Mode fx bypass Assignment Enables/Disables bypass of currently selected insert effect. SHIFT (eff-1) Enables/Disables bypass of currently selected EQ band and switches rotary encoders to EQ frequency editing.

Variable bytes are shown in italics and use characters other than a-f as a placeholder. All channel messages use running status messages. Once an initial 3-byte message has been sent, the status byte is dropped from proceeding transmitted channel messages, in order to conserve bandwidth. SysEx Message Header The following documentation uses the place holder "<Hdr>" whenever the SysEx header is transmitted or received. It has the following form: F0 MIDI SysEx status byte 00 00 66 Mackie 3-byte SysEx manufacturer ID ii Model ID 10 Logic Control 11 Logic Control XT A device ID is not required, as each unit needs a dedicated MIDI cable. Appendix 239 Global Control Messages Host Connection and Initialization Received: <Hdr> 00 F7 Device Query <Hdr> 02 ss ss ss ss ss ss ss rr rr rr rr F7 Host Connection Reply <Hdr> 0F 7F F7 Go Offline Transmitted: <Hdr> 01 ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ll ll ll ll F7 Host Connection Query <Hdr> 03 ss ss ss ss ss ss ss F7 Host Connection Confirmation <Hdr> 04 ss ss ss ss ss ss ss F7 Host Connection Error ss = Serial number (7 bytes ASCII text, non null-terminated) ll = Challenge code (4 bytes) rr = Response code (4 bytes) Offline Mode: Logic Control employs a query system to maintain a connection to the host software. When Logic Control is initially powered up, it defaults to Offline mode. In Offline mode, Logic Control's faders move to their lowest setting, and the LCD reads "EMAGIC LOGIC CONTROL -- by MACKIE. " After power-on, Logic Control also transmits a system exclusive Host Connection Query message that is used (by the host) to detect a connection, and what type of device is connected (Logic Control/Logic Control XT). Communications Initialization: When the host software receives a Host Connection Query message (containing a serial number and a random challenge code), it should transmit a Host Connection Reply command within 300ms to initialize Logic Control. The command must contain the same serial number and the correct response code for the challenge code. Here is the algorithm (l1 to l4 = challenge code bytes 1 to 4, r1 to r4 = response code bytes 1 to 4): r1 = 0x7F & (l1 + (l2 ^ 0xa) ­ l4); r2 = 0x7F & ((l3>>4) ^ (l1+l4)); r3 = 0x7F & (l4-(l3<<2) ^ (l1|l2)); r4 = 0x7F & (l2-l3+(0xF0^(l4<<4))); Logic Control will, in turn, respond with either:  a Host Connection Confirmation message that contains the serial number, and switch to Online mode--where it will await further instructions from the host, or  reply with a Host Connection Error message, if the response code was wrong. 240 Appendix B Logic Control--MIDI Implementation Online Mode: Once the connection between Logic Control and the host software has been made, Logic Control stays in Online Mode until it receives a Go Offline message.
