Quantize 1/16 Swing C — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Quantize 1/16 Swing C

Quantize the region on sixteenth notes with swing pattern C. As always the precision of computers can “help” us create very well aligned music. It doesn’t sound natural. Most humans can’t perform with such precision. The quantize commands can be used to “help” the computer be less precise (in a very precise way) or more human.

Sometimes quantization is referred to as “humanization”…so not.

Copy Value to All Following Events ⇧V — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Copy Value to All Following Events    ⇧V

This command is found in the “Event Editor” section of commands. The “Event Editor” is the Event List. The command should be named “Paste Value to All Following Events” since that is what it does. That “copy/paste” way of thinking of things.

You could change the velocity of every event following the selected one — select the velocity value, click outside of the field, and copy. Could be useful.
