TIP: Alternatively, you can use the Command+L key shortcut instead of going to the Logic Preferences

menu.

• When you select this “Learn Assignment...” menu command, it launches the Logic Controller

Assignments dialog, and a message informs you that it is waiting for you to access your MIDI

Controller so that it can “Learn” the MIDI command from it.

Note that the Controller Assignment dialog also offers an “Expert View” - this offers many more options

and allows you to further manually map MIDI controllers. Please see the Logic documentation for this

dialog if you want to explore this further! The Easy View works great for instantly mapping a controller.

• Now move your FBV Pedal, and you should see the Controller Assignment dialog receive and

“Learn” the MIDI Control message (which is conﬁgured to transmit MIDI CC 11, with a Value

range of 0 - 127, as part of the FBV-Default preset we previously selected in the Line 6 FBV

Control application).

You’ll see the “Learned” MIDI

Control command listed here.

• Exit the Controller Assignments dialog and give the FBV Pedal a try. You should see the Position

knob within the GearBox Plug-In window move in response. Press Play in Logic to hear your

audio track play, and when you move the pedal, you should hear the Wah effect do its thing on

your track!

• Note that you can also set your Logic Audio track to record automation for this POD Farm Plug-

In, Wah Position parameter, and you can use the pedal to record a Wah “performance” too.

You should be able to repeat the above steps to access any mappable parameter in Logic with any of

your FBV Controllers - Mixer faders, Pan knobs, solo switch, Software Instrument knobs, other Plug-In

parameters, etc.
