Step Editor
Logic Pro Step Editor Overview
The Step Editor is a graphical editor that can be used to create or edit MIDI note and
controller data. You can use the Step Editor to view and edit different MIDI event types,
shown as vertical beams—or steps—along a timeline within a region.
Step: Each beam, called a step, represents a MIDI event. The value of the event is
denoted by the beam height, providing an at-a-glance view of one or more different
events and their values. For more information, see Create steps in the Step Editor in
Logic Pro and Change step values in the Step Editor in Logic Pro.
Lane: Each MIDI event type, be it a note or MIDI controller, is arranged from top to
bottom in horizontal lanes much like the track lanes shown in the Tracks area. The
type of event shown, and controlled, on each lane is freely configurable. You do this
by setting Lane parameters (for each lane) in the inspector. For more information, see
Logic Pro lane parameters overview.
Lane inspector: Use to alter the settings of the selected lane. For more information, see
Use the Lane inspector in Logic Pro.
Lane Set pop-up menu: You can save groups of lanes (several lanes that you have
defined) as Lane Sets. You access these from the Lane Set pop-up menu in the
inspector. For more information, see Use Lane Sets in the Step Editor in Logic Pro.
