4.1.11. SurfaceLCD
The SurfaceLCD Object emulates traditional control surfaces' LCD, by making
use of the MIDI input capabilities of the Lemur. With his Object you can display track names,
parameter changes, timecode, all updated in real-time by your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
The SurfaceLCD Object is compatible with the Mackie Control surface protocol.
Variables
None This Object has no value to be mapped to MIDI and OSC. It displays information coming from a
DAW.
General Properties
Name The name of the SurfaceLCD Object that’s also used as its
address
Transparent If checked, the background of the SurfaceLCD disappears to obtain a see-through
appearance. If unchecked, the background color is set by the Top color slider.
Target This lets you select the MIDI Target number for information display. First, setup a MIDI
target with an input of your liking inside the JazzEditor settings. Then, configure your
DAW to send Mackie Control surface data to this MIDI input. Refer to the bundled
examples for mappings of control Objects compatible with control surfaces protocols
known by your DAW.
Display This lets you select one of three LCD modes common to conventional control surfaces.
In Main LCD mode, the Object displays Track information.
In Timecode mode, the Object displays up-to-date Timecode information.
In Assignment mode, the Object displays a three character code describing the
current assignment of other mapped control Objects.
Refer to your DAW’s manual for more information on specific display functions.

off states.
Variables
