Euphonix: Choosing Automation Modes

The Euphonix devices only support Read and Write automation modes. Logic Pro, however, also features Touch and Latch automation modes. When you use the Euphonix devices with Logic Pro, activating Read/Write mode activates Touch mode in Logic Pro. Latch mode cannot be activated with these devices.

  2. Select the automation mode you want from the pop-up menu displayed on the touchscreen. You can choose between:

    • Isolate: Automation mode is off.
    • Read: Activates Read mode in Logic Pro.
    • Write: Activates Write mode in Logic Pro.
    • Read/Write: Activates Touch mode in Logic Pro.

You can also use the Select key to switch between automation modes in Logic Pro:
