Go to Selection End ⌃↘ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Go to Selection End    ⌃↘

Move the playhead to the end of the current selection. I can really use this as I try to use the Marquee tool to focus on an area of a region. Select a part of a region and press the ‘Go to Selection Start’ (control-home) and ‘Play from Selection’ (shift-space). I don’t really need to move the playhead to do this, but I seem to get a better idea of where things are by having the playhead touch the end of the selection. Just me.

Control playback with the transport buttons — Logic Pro X

“K” is for Klopfgeist | Logic Pro

“K” is for Klopfgeist | Logic Pro

Klopfgeist is the software instrument that powers Logic’s Metronome function. For many of us, there’s not much more to think about with the Klopfgeist other than enabling the Metronome and hitting “record.” But there’s plenty to dig into with our trusty and unwavering click. Whether it be for utility or creativity.

Toggle MIDI Remote for Articulation Switches — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle MIDI Remote for Articulation Switches

When MIDI Remote is “on” MIDI events can be used to change the articulation. The standard MIDI messages are found starting with the C0 Note On. It would be nice if I could program the A-1 key on the piano to toggle MIDI Remote without sending the Note On back to the piano. I guess I should just turn down the piano speakers when I am using it as a controller.

Manage articulations for software instruments — Logic Pro X

If an Articulation Set is loaded, you can select between articulations using the Articulations pop-up menu in the plug-in window header. Some software instruments let you view the most recently played articulation in the plug-in interface as well.


Use the Articulation Set Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The Articulation Set Editor can be used to create sophisticated key switch and controller switch definitions, and define output transformations, which enables compatibility with third party sample libraries. You can also use the Articulation Set Editor to create Articulation Sets for instruments that have assigned Articulation IDs to sample groups, but do not have pre-configured articulations. For example, some Sampler instruments come pre-configured with specific sample groups identified by an Articulation ID but do not have pre-configured Articulation Sets. For more information on how Sampler uses Articulation IDs, see Logic Pro Sampler articulation handling.

Insert an F# from the Musical Typing keyboard.

Use step input recording techniques — Logic Pro X

Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.

Import… ⌘I — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Import…    ⌘I

Get resources from external sources. All kinds of resources.

The default help for the Import command brings up “Import groove templates”. Hmmm.

I need to remember to turn on Quick Help so I can use the ⌘/ keyboard shortcut to open Logic help for the command that the cursor is hovering over. Logic Remote help function will do a similar thing, bring up the help for the function or area that the cursor is pointing to.
