Convert repeated MIDI regions to loops in Logic Pro
When MIDI regions with adjacent repetitions exist in the Tracks area, you can convert the
repetitions to loops. After the regions are converted to loops, any changes you make to the
original region are carried over to the loops.
Convert repetitions of a region to loops
1. Select the region in the Tracks area.
2. Choose Edit > Convert > Repetitions to Loops, or use the corresponding key command.
Color regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area
You can change the color of regions to identify sections of your arrangement, distinguish
between track types, or for other uses. Newly recorded or added regions use the color of
the track channel strip.
Change the color of one or more regions
1. In Logic Pro, select the region or regions you want to change.
Note: If you select all regions on a particular track, and no regions on other tracks are
selected, coloring them alters the hue of all selected regions. This also changes the
color of the selected track’s channel strip.
2. Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Display, then click the Tracks tab. In the Tracks
Display preferences pane, make sure that the Region Color pop-up menu is set to
Individual.
Note: If the Region Color pop-up menu is set to As Track Color, you cannot color
regions individually.
3. Control-click one of the selected regions, then choose Name and Color > Show/Hide
Colors from the shortcut menu.
4. Click a color.
Set regions to match the track color
1. In Logic Pro, select the regions you want to change.
If all regions are on a single track, click the track’s header to select all regions.
2. Choose Functions > Color Regions by Track Color from the Tracks area menu bar.
The colors of all selected regions are replaced with the colors of the corresponding
track channel strips.
Tip: This feature is handy after copying or moving regions between tracks, when you
may find that the Tracks area resembles a patchwork quilt.
