Select Playing Cells — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day (KCotD)

  Select Playing Cells

Select all of the cells that are currently playing. I can imagine using this command to prepare to completely stop a Live Loop playback.

Parameters for selected cells appear in the Cell inspector, which replaces the Region inspector when cells are selected. When you select a single cell, the title bar of the Cell inspector shows the cell name; when you select multiple cells, the title bar shows the number of selected cells.

Select Members of Group 50 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Select Members of Group 50

Selects all channels (and tracks) that are in group 50. I used to complain that groups above 32 were not possible, even though there are commands to select them. The documentation says maximum of 32. The documentation is wrong. You can now have 64 groups.

Unlikely that I will ever need that many.

You can have a maximum of 32 groups, and a channel strip can be a member of multiple groups.

New Tracks for Overlapped Regions — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  New Tracks for Overlapped Regions

Separate overlapped regions onto new tracks using the same channel strip. This allows you to see and work with information that is hidden.

As I think about it tracks basically contain instructions for sending output to a channel. The documentation considers using a drum machine — multiple, different sounds, and tracks for programming the machine.

I would use multiple tracks per channel for my software instruments EZdrummer, Miroslav Philharmonik, and SampleTank.

Create tracks using existing channel strips in Logic Pro — Apple Support

New tracks are created for wholly or partly overlapped regions, which are redistributed across the newly created tracks. A new track is created for each overlap. All tracks use the same channel strip as the original track. In other words, only one channel strip is used for all tracks.

Velocity 127 (fff) / — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Velocity 127 (fff) /

Set the velocity for notes entered with the Step Input Keyboard. 127 is the maximum value (MIDI 1.0) possible.

There are eight velocity values—represented by the traditional volume indicators ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff. These correspond to MIDI velocity values 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, and 127, respectively.
