Making Sense of Mac Keyboard Symbols — OSXDaily.com

Ever wondered what those Mac keyboard symbols mean and what they translate to? You see them on a lot of Mac keyboards and on plenty of keyboard shortcut lists, looking like strange glyphs (⌥), shapes (⇪), and bugs splattered on windshields (⌘). They can be fairly confusing, which is why we at OSXDaily.com always try to manually write out the key itself.

  Sends on Faders - Previous Send

New in Logic Pro X version 10.4 (or very close to it). I was first exposed to ‘Sends on Faders’ using my Behringer XR18 mixer. I had no clue about what it was, and it took a few tries to get it right in my brain. Totally useful.

When ‘Sends on Faders’ is enabled the faders on the mixer are used to adjust the level of the currently selected send, as opposed to adjusting the level of the track. This makes creating cue mixes almost child’s play.

I use this to move elements of a mix closer or further away using reverb. The higher the fader is the further away it should be in the sound stage.

Previous and Next Send are circular. When the last send is selected Next circles around to the first, and vice versa.

Karabiner — Software for macOS

A powerful and stable keyboard customizer for macOS.

Serious keyboard mapping software. Not for the faint of heart.

macOS has the ability to change CAPS LOCK, CONTROL, ESCAPE, OPTION, COMMAND, and FUNCTION. This is a good thing.

Karabiner will let you assign CAPS LOCK to press CONTROL,OPTION, COMMAND, and SHIFT all at the same time, giving you an easy keypress to use in conjunction with the rest of the keyboard.

Logic Pro X keyboard command mapping becomes far easier to use.

  Quit    ⌘Q

The ‘Oblique Strategies’ card of Logic commands. Sometimes the best thing you can do is quit and take a break.

Think about it.

  Separate MIDI Region by MIDI Channel

Splits a MIDI region into separate regions, one per MIDI channel.

Who knew that we would find this under ‘demix’?

Demix MIDI regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can split, or demix, a MIDI region (or a standard MIDI file of format 1 or 0) into separate regions by event channels or by note pitch.

Very handy. Player Piano roll time.
