Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

  1/32 Note  6

The Step Input Keyboard can be used to easily insert notes and rests into a MIDI region. The “dot”, “triplet”, and “sustain” buttons have an odd keyboard assignment.

The “Sustain Inserted Notes” command is defined as a Global command, not in the Step Editor — doesn’t seem to work to change the key definition — can’t get it to work. It appears that clicking the “Sustain Inserted Notes” button doubles the length of the most recently inserted note.

There is a 1/128th note command that doesn’t have a button on the keyboard. Unlikely to be necessary.

The definitions of the buttons appear if you hover the mouse over one of them for “a while”.
