Lane parameters
Logic Pro lane parameters overview
The Lane parameters determine the event type shown on each lane. Events are shown as
vertical beams (steps) on each lane, aligned with a particular time position in the ruler.
You can use the Lane parameters to change the way beams are displayed (see Change the
Step Editor grid and step display in Logic Pro). You can also alter the grid resolution for
each lane in a Lane Set, which is useful when creating drum patterns. You adjust the height
and horizontal size of the lanes with the zoom sliders.
You select a lane (and its parameters) by clicking the lane name with the Pointer or Pencil
tool.
You can view and change Lane parameters in the inspector (see Use the Lane inspector in
Logic Pro).
Select multiple lanes
You can make simultaneous changes to the parameters of several selected lanes (for more
information, see Use the Lane inspector in Logic Pro).
In Logic Pro, Shift-click each lane name with the Pointer or Pencil tool.
Create lanes in the Step Editor in Logic Pro
You can create new lanes, and set corresponding Lane parameters, in several ways.
Create a new lane
1. In Logic Pro, select a lane by clicking one of the names shown.
The selected lane is highlighted.
2. Choose Lanes > Create Lane (or pressOption-Command-N).
A new lane is created. The new lane parameters are identical to those of the originally
selected lane.
3. Adjust the parameters of the new lane in the inspector.
Create one or more specific lane types
You can use the Auto Define feature to automatically create lanes for specific event types
in your project.
1. In Logic Pro, choose Auto Define from the Lane Set pop-up menu (or use the Toggle
Auto Define key command, default assignment:Control-A).
2. Open the Event List window, then click the events you want to create new lanes for.
The clicked events are added as lanes in the Lane Set.
3. Repeat the second step to add more event types to your Lane Set.
