Enter/Exit Full Screen ⌃⌘F — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Enter/Exit Full Screen    ⌃⌘F

How delightfully useful.

Logic doesn’t “play nice” with desktops/spaces. I avoid full screen mode because of the odd behaviors, and the difficulty of going back and forth between the sizes.

This command takes the focused window to full screen **AND** back again. A simple switch. No mousing around. So useful.

Not all windows support full screen mode, but the most useful (Arrange, Mix, Score) certainly do.

Screensets cannot keep windows at full screen. If you switch out of a full screen screenset, then back, the window will be maximized to the work area (menus and dock remain.)

Open/Close MIDI Insert 5 Plug-in Window of focused Track — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Open/Close MIDI Insert 5 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Work with the MIDI Insert in slot 5 on the focused track. Defined commands go up to MIDI Insert 15, but documentation and implementation show that there can only be 8 MIDI Inserts.

Use MIDI plug-ins in Logic Pro — Apple Support

MIDI plug-ins are inserted in software instrument channel strips and process or generate MIDI data—played from a MIDI region or a MIDI keyboard—in real time. Included are the Arpeggiator, Chord Trigger, and Modulator, along with plug-ins for transposition, randomization and other processing. Scripter enables you to create your own MIDI processing and generation scripts.

MIDI plug-ins are connected in series before the audio path of a software instrument channel strip.

MIDI plug-ins have a MIDI input, the MIDI processor, and a MIDI output. The output signals sent from MIDI plug-ins are standard MIDI events such as MIDI note or controller messages.

View score symbols in the Logic Pro part box — Apple Support

The Part box displays score symbols arranged in groups. You can show and hide symbol groups by selecting or deselecting the group buttons at the top of the Part box, and reorder the groups in the Part box.

Open/Close MIDI Insert 8 Plug-in Window of focused Track — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Open/Close MIDI Insert 8 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Opens the plug-in in the eighth slot on a MIDI instrument (external or software instrument). The number of MIDI inserts seems a bit excessive to me, there being documentation for 15 slots, with only 8 actually available. I suspect there are some sequences of arpeggiators or other mapping/modification tools that could be applied.

Work in the plug-in window in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The header area at the top of a plug-in window is common to all plug-ins. You can use it to adjust the size of the window, link plug-in windows when more than one is open, switch the plug-in parameter view, and route side chain source signals.
