Make notes legato
1. In Logic Pro, select the notes you want to edit.
2. Choose one of the following commands in the Edit > Trim submenu in the Piano Roll
Editor menu bar:
Note Start to Playhead
Note End to Playhead
Note End to Selected Notes
Note End to Following Notes
Convert sustain pedal events to note lengths
In Logic Pro, choose Functions > Convert Sustain Pedal to Note Length in the Piano Roll
Editor menu bar.
All sustain pedal events (controller #64) used on selected note events are analyzed, and
the note events are increased in length. This increase matches the controller #64 (sustain
pedal) off message position.
The pedal events (controller #64 on and off) are erased after use of this command.
Edit velocity in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro
Each note in the Piano Roll Editor displays a horizontal line. The length of the line relative
to the overall length of the note shows the note’s velocity. Velocity indicates how hard
the key was struck when the note was played, which usually corresponds to the note’s
loudness (the MIDI velocity range is from 0–127, with 127 being the loudest). Velocity can
also control other synthesizer parameters, such as filter resonance or cutoff, alone or in
conjunction with volume level.
You can also display velocity using different colors, by choosing View > Set Note Color
> By Velocity from the Piano Roll Editor menu bar. When this command is chosen, higher
velocity notes appear in warmer colors, and lower velocity notes appear in cooler colors.
Color coding makes it easy to see the velocity of individual notes, and to see the overall
range of velocities in a MIDI region. As you change the velocity of the notes, their color
changes in real time.
To learn more about color assignments in the Piano Roll Editor, see Change colors in the
Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro.
Note: You can also edit note velocity in the Automation/MIDI area under the note display
grid. See The Automation/MIDI area in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro.
