Attach Symbol: Staccatissimo — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Attach Symbol: Staccatissimo

I don’t seem to be able to find the symbol in the Part Box in the Score Editor. The command adds the little wedge in the proper location for the selected note.

You can adjust the playback settings by adjusting velocity and length (percentage) in the ‘MIDI Meaning’ project preferences — ‘Settings: MIDI Meaning ⌃⌥⇧M’.

OnMusic Dictionary — Term

A style of playing notes in a detached, separated, distinct manner that shortens the notated duration of the note in a more exaggerated way than normal staccato. Staccatissimo is indicated by solid wedge directly above or below the notehead.

Open/Close MIDI Insert 1 Plug-in Window of focused Track — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Open/Close MIDI Insert 1 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Opens the plug-in window for the first MIDI insert plug-in. I need to explore MIDI inserts and the X-Touch. I don’t think the controller deals with MIDI inserts at all. First look indicates that it does not.

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.

Set Nudge Value to 1/2 Note — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Set Nudge Value to 1/2 Note

Sets the nudge value to 1/2 note. Useful in editing and arranging MIDI. Pretty large value for nudging audio around.

You can nudge regions (move them in small increments) left or right using key commands. To nudge regions, you first set the nudge value, then move selected regions by this value. Alternatively, you can nudge regions by a set value.

Slice at Transient Markers — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Slice at Transient Markers

I have never edited a drum track or any other instrument to get things “on the beat”. It always looks so hard, or at least tedious, in other DAWs. This looks like it should be the simplest thing to do…

Flex Time algorithms and parameters in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Slicing cuts the audio material at transient markers, then shifts the audio while playing each slice at its original speed. No time compression or expansion is applied to the shifted audio. Any gaps that occur as a result of shifting the audio can be filled using the decay function. Slicing is a good choice for drums and percussion and comes with the following parameters:

Toggle Metronome Click — Smart Tempo Editor M — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Metronome Click - Smart Tempo Editor    M

Turn the metronome click on or off. No need to click that button with the pointer/cursor sitting over it.

Clicking with a mouse is probably not sensible to lots of people. Trackpad is far more likely to be used by beginners. Need to use terms like position the cursor/pointer instead of move the mouse.
