Set the Quantize Loop Start position
If the start and loop start positions are different, you can choose which position should hit
an upcoming quantize start point when you trigger a cell. This can be useful if the start
position is set to an upbeat position, for example.
• In Logic Pro, select one or more cells, click the disclosure triangle next to Play From in
the Cell inspector, then choose one of the following settings from the Q Loop Start pop-
up menu:
• Off: The cell starts playing from the start position when the upcoming quantize start
point is reached.
• On: The cell starts playing as soon as possible, so that the loop start position is
reached at the next upcoming quantize start position. Some content after the start
position may be skipped.
• On, Preserve Start: The cell always starts playing from the start position, so that
the loop start position is reached at the upcoming or any following quantize start
position. The cell may start later but plays all content between the start and loop
start positions.
Turn off cell looping
• In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Select one or more cells, then deselect the Loop checkbox in the Cell inspector.
• Control-click a cell, then deselect Settings > Loop from the submenu.
• Click the cycle area in the ruler of the Cell Editor.
The circular waveform in the cell changes to a linear shape. When the cell starts, it
plays once to the end of the cell length, then stops (one-shot).
View cell length and loop length as positions
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Choose View > Length as Position from the Tracks area menu bar.
• Control-click anywhere in the Cell inspector, then choose Show Length as Position from
the shortcut menu.
Cell Length appears as Cell End, Loop Length appears as Loop End, and both show a
position value.
View start positions as an offset
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Choose View > Show Start Positions as Offset from the Tracks area menu bar.
• Control-click anywhere in the Cell inspector, then choose Show Start Positions as Offset
from the shortcut menu.
The positions appear in the Cell inspector as the distance from the beginning of the cell.
