Toggle the use of fixed value when creating steps.

Create steps in the Step Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can assign a fixed value when creating event steps. When enabled, the Fix Value item in the Lane Set pop-up menu prevents any event value from being altered with the Pointer or Pencil tool.

It might be useful to read some of the Logic Pro 9 manual describing the Hyper Editor (Step Editor in X) for a discussion of ‘fix value’ and other nuanced behaviors…

You can also assign a fixed value when creating events. The Fix Value checkbox in the Inspector, when selected, prevents any event value from being altered with the Pointer or Pencil tool.

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.

Create lanes for all event types in a region
Select the region.

Choose Lanes > Create Multiple Lanes (or use the corresponding key command).

In the dialog that appears, click the All button to confirm that you want to create lanes for all types of events in the region.

Tip: It’s a good idea to create a new Lane Set before creating a group of new lanes. For more information, see Use Lane Sets.
