In addition to bar and beat values, you can also choose the following Quantize Start
options:
• Cell End: If another cell in the same row is playing, the triggered cell starts when the
playing cell reaches the end of the loop.
• Off: Cells start and stop when you click them, regardless of the Quantize Start value.
Note that this can lead to cells playing out of sync.
• Global: The cell or scene follows the Quantize Start value of the grid. This is the default
setting for cells and scenes, and probably the best choice for most situations.
Turn on Smart Pickup
• Click the Quantize Start pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the grid, then choose
Smart Pickup.
Set the play mode
The play mode in Logic Pro determines how a cell starts and stops when you click the Play/
Stop button. Both actions are subject to the Quantize Start value. You can choose three
play modes:
• Start/Stop: Cells start and stop playing when you click them.
• Momentary: Cells start playing when you click and hold the pointer on them, and stop
playing when you release the pointer.
• Retrigger: If a cell is playing and you click it again, it starts playing from the beginning.
Cells set to Retrigger can be stopped only by starting another cell in the same row, by
stopping the row using the Divider column, or by stopping the entire grid.
Do either of the following:
• Select one or more cells, then choose a play mode from the Play Mode pop-up menu in
the Cell inspector.
• Control-click a cell, choose Playback > Play Mode, then choose a play mode from the
submenu.
You can also change the play mode for scenes.
