Show/Hide Step Sequencer

Opens (or closes) the Step Sequencer editing panel in the Arrange window. This does not open or close the Step Sequencer window. You can drag the Step Sequencer out of the edit panel, and have the Step Sequencer open in the edit panel as well, but the two views of the sequencer are basically the same.

Logic Pro Step Sequencer overview — Apple Support

Step Sequencer is inspired by classic hardware step sequencers that have rows of configurable switches or knobs used to generate repeating musical patterns. In Step Sequencer, you create patterns by editing multifunctional steps in the step grid. Each row controls either a sound (which can be a drum kit piece, a note on an instrument, or a range of notes) or an automation parameter (letting you create automation changes over time in the pattern). Each step represents a definable length of musical time–by default, steps are of equal length, but you can change the length for individual rows or steps. You can adjust a wide range of parameters for individual steps, including velocity, pitch, gate time, and more; and edit pattern and row settings including pattern length, row loop start and end points, playback position, and rotation.

  Open Event List…    ⌘7

Opens the Event List window, as opposed to showing the event list using the “Show List Editors” command and selecting Event. You can drag the Event List editor out to create an event list window. You can have multiple Event list windows.

You also create multiple event list windows if you use the ‘Open Event List’ command multiple times.

Logic Pro Event List interface — Apple Support

The Event List shows all the events in your project, such as MIDI note events or region start events, in a vertical list format. You can use it to make precise edits, and for other tasks better suited to numeric rather than graphic edits. You can display all events or limit them by category

  Set Step Color by Row Color

Set the color of the selected step to the color of the row. Akin to setting region colors according to track colors.

Everything old is new again. Step Sequencing. NB each cell in a sequence can be a sequencer.

Logic Pro Step Sequencer overview — Apple Support

Each pattern region or cell functions as an independent step sequencer, with its own configuration and settings. You can copy and move pattern regions like other regions in the Tracks area, while pattern cells can be copied, moved, triggered, and queued like other Live Loops cells. You can modify pattern region and cell parameters in the Region inspector or Cell inspector, respectively.
