“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
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
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.

Set Note Color By Region Color
MIDI notes. Audio regions don’t have notes. It would seem kind of useless to set note color by region since most all MIDI regions start out as green. But what if we change them?
It hardly occurred to me to change the MIDI region colors, but it really does make a difference when looking at an arrangement.
Just like color-coding tracks that are bused together.
It’s all about being aware of what you see as well as what you hear.
Change the color of notes in the Piano Roll Editor — Logic Pro X
You can change the color of notes in the Piano Roll Editor to display note velocity, region colors, or MIDI channel colors. By default, notes correspond to the region color.
