New Key Repeat Function
The Expert view of the Controller Assignments Editor now features the Key Repeat
checkbox in the Value section.
Note: The Key Repeat checkbox is positioned at the bottom of the Controller
Assignments Editor. If the vertical size of the Controller Assignments Editor is
insufficient, the checkbox will not be visible. In this situation, simply drag the lower
right corner of the window downwards to resize it.
When you enable the Key Repeat checkbox, the assignment is repeatedly executed.
The Key Repeat Rate slider—set in the Mac OS X Keyboard & Mouse preferences—
determines how quickly Logic repeats the assignment. The duration that the button/
controller must be held for, before the assignment is repeated, is set with the Delay
Until Repeat slider in the Keyboard & Mouse preferences.
Example: This facility is particularly useful for the zoom function: If you assign a key
repeat command to the Zoom buttons on the Logic Control, for example, you can
simply hold down the Zoom In button. Logic will zoom in until the Zoom In button is
released. This mirrors the behavior of the Zoom key commands. In earlier versions, you
had to repeatedly press the (Logic Control) Zoom buttons to zoom in/out more than
one level.
Note: The Key Repeat checkbox is only available for key commands, key presses and
relative value changes. If any other assignment class is selected, the checkbox is
dimmed.
