Controlling Logic/MainStage
Introduction
By using the Logic/MainStage plug-in, you can control Logic Pro X or
MainStage from the FANTOM.
The main operations of Logic Pro X/MainStage can be performed
directly from the FANTOM., and you can use numerous controllers
including the FANTOM’s screen, sliders/knobs, buttons, and pads.
NOTE
This document explains procedures for the following versions of Logic Pro X
and MainStage.
Logic Pro X: 10.4.4
MainStage: 3.4.2
Menus and other aspects might differ for other versions.
In this document, we refer to “the Logic/MainStage plug-in,” but in the case
of MainStage, this functionality is actually provided not as a plug-in but by
installing a dedicated profile. If you are using MainStage, any references in this
