Use the Lane inspector in Logic Pro
You use the Lane inspector to change the parameters of the selected lane. The most
important parameters are Status and First Data Byte. The Status parameter sets the event
type for the selected lane. The First Data Byte parameter (shown as “Number” in the
image) sets the value for the chosen event type. The appearance of the First Data Byte
parameter changes when different event types are chosen.
Name a lane
The name of the selected lane is shown beside the disclosure triangle in the inspector. This
is mirrored in the Name column in the Step Editor.
• In Logic Pro, select the name to open a text field, enter a name, then press Return.
Note: If you define a named MIDI controller, or a note from a mapped instrument in the
Status and First Data Byte parameter lines, the relevant name is automatically shown.
Changing a note name in the inspector also alters the corresponding note name in the
mapped instrument.
Delay or advance all steps on the selected lane
The inspector’s Delay parameter is very useful for drum programming (flams, for example),
as only individual event types or note numbers are affected. It’s also useful for tightening
up or sliding notes in a region, without resorting to quantization.
• In Logic Pro, set the Delay parameter to the value you want to use.
Position changes are immediately reflected by the steps in the lane. New events
(inserted when a grid was active) are offset from the grid positions by the Delay
parameter value.
Tip: In general, you should transmit controller data slightly before or after note
events, to improve the timing of notes. In other words, place controllers before (use a
negative delay value) the grid positions of the notes lying exactly on the grid positions.
