Use Lane Sets in the Step Editor in Logic Pro
You can store a combination of lanes as a Lane Set. When a Lane Set is saved, the vertical
zoom setting of the Step Editor is stored. You can save as many Lane Sets as required in
each project.
The Lane Set functions let you limit the Step Editor display to only the required MIDI event
types. For example, imagine you have recorded a synthesizer lead MIDI region. You could
create a Lane Set that contains individual lanes for each note pitch in the region. Drag each
note event step vertically to adjust its level. Within the same Lane Set, you could create
two more lanes to control the lead synthesizers filter cutoff and resonance parameters,
allowing you to create or precisely edit filter changes.
The Step Editor provides two default Lane Sets:MIDI Controls and GM Drum Kit.
MIDI Controls: Provides lanes for Volume, Pan, Modulation, and several other commonly
used controller types.
GM Drum Kit: Provides lanes that match the note names of the General MIDI (GM) drum
map. This option lets you draw note events (steps) for drum parts, and is similar to the
use of pattern-based drum machines, where each beat is manually entered on a grid.
You can use this Lane Set for any instrument type.
If you leave the Lane Set pop-up menu set to Automatic, lanes are automatically added for
each kind of event in the MIDI region.
Switch between Lane Sets
You can switch the Step Editor display to show particular event types by loading an existing
Lane Set.
In Logic Pro, choose a Lane Set from the Lane Set pop-up menu in the inspector.
Create a Lane Set
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Choose Lanes > New Lane Set from the Step Editor menu bar (or use the Lane Set pop-
up menu, or corresponding key command).
The new Lane Set contains a default lane for the Volume controller (#7). Any changes
you make, such as adding or changing lanes or lane parameters, or adjusting the
vertical zoom setting, are automatically stored in the current Lane Set.
