Don't know about Logic. Should all work fine as BCF has Logic Control emulation built into it. It all depends on how Logic handles things to what can be customised. The easiest way to use the BCF is in one of the emulation modes. MCU, Logic Control, whatever, obviously LC for you. Then when you fire things up it's all mapped out and ready to go. You can spend an eternity programming your own templates but that's not my idea of fun. I have Samplitude. The MCU mode I employ can be customised to whatever I fancy by adjusting the Samplitude MCU template. Logic probably has something similar but I'm not sure as I'm not a user. In Samp the track EQ's are mapped and VST's can be controlled but I prefer a Nocturn for any VST/VSTi plugs. I guess if you take a look at the hardware controller documentation in the Logic documentation you will see what can and cannot be done with regard to customisation. BCF is limited to some extent, which is why I'm opting for a Mackie Pro, more knobs, VDU, jogwheel and everything. Much can be done with the BCF though and it is an extremely useful little mixer.
You switch from, say, pan to EQ, by changing the function of the Vpots with one of the edit buttons.
This is the BCF emulation .pdf with all the mappings for Logic in it.
