Velocity 80 (mf)   M

Set the velocity of notes entered to 80. When entering notes via Step Input the velocity value is determined by the most recent select of a velocity. Quite useful.

To set the velocity of the inserted note: Click the Velocity buttons.
There are eight velocity values—represented by the traditional volume indicators ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff. These correspond to MIDI velocity values 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, and 127, respectively.

  New Track with Duplicate Settings and Content

The typical duplicate track command keeps everything the same (including channel!) but doesn’t reproduce the content. This variant of the command duplicates the content as well.

A bit simpler than creating the track, then selecting and copying (copy/paste or option-drag) the content to the new track.

Duplicate tracks in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can duplicate a track, creating a new track below the original track with the same instrument and effects settings. The duplicate track is empty, and does not contain any regions.

  Page Up    ⇞

Scrolls the current window contents upwards. Repeated scrolling should bring you to the top of the page/list/window.

Page Up and Page Down keys match direction. Home (left) and End (right) scroll horizontally. The MCU scrolls using the scroll arrows. On the X-Touch you have to press and hold the Zoom key while scrolling up/down, right/left. If the scroll key is _latched_ the tracks will zoom. If the scroll key is not latched the arrows work as the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Scroll and zoom the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

Depending on the size of the project and your display, you may not be able to see the entire project at one time. You can scroll both horizontally and vertically in the Tracks area to view other parts of the project.

The table outlines the cursor controls and their functions:

  Recall Screenset 1x    ⇧1

Can never have enough references to screensets. I have entered this command before, when the command was control-1 through control-9, now it is shift-1 through shift-9. I have yet to use more than 5 or 6 screensets, only because I don’t spend enough time working on a single project to require saving that many.

Recalls screensets 10 through 19.

Create and recall screensets in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might between different computer displays.

  Paste Channel Strip Setting Plug-Ins Only

This seems to be a far more friendly version of the ‘Paste Channel Strip Settings’ commands. I usually _don’t_ want to change the output of the channel, groups, etc., just the plugins, please.

Work with channel strip settings in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Channel strip settings (CST files) are specific to each channel strip type. Instrument channel strips feature a number of instrument settings, separated into instrument, GarageBand, and Jam Pack categories. Audio channel strips offer effect routings optimized for particular instrument, vocal, and other processing tasks. Similarly, output and auxiliary channel strips provide channel strip settings for particular mastering or sweetening processes. For more information on using effects plug-ins, see Overview of plug-ins in Logic Pro.
