Edit Step Sequencer steps in Logic Pro
You can edit individual steps in several ways, including cutting, copying, and pasting
steps. You can also repeat a step, decrement or increment the values of all steps in a row,
transpose all steps in a pattern by semitones or octaves, randomize values for all steps in a
row or all steps in the pattern, and reset steps to default values.
Pattern regions can be edited only in the Step Sequencer, not in the other MIDI editors. You
can convert a pattern region to a MIDI region, which can be edited in the Tracks area and in
the Piano Roll Editor.
Cut a step
1. In Logic Pro, do one of the following to select the step:
In any edit mode except for Loop Start/End, Shift-click the step, then choose Edit >
Cut (or press Command-X).
Control-click the step, then choose Cut from the shortcut menu.
When you cut a step, the step value and edit mode settings are cut, but the empty step
remains in the step grid. The order of following steps does not change.
Copy and paste a step
You can copy a step, including all of its step settings. When you paste a copied step, the
destination row should be of the same row type (note or automation) as the source row.
All step settings are copied, with one exception: If the step rate was not edited for that
individual step (that is, if it still uses the pattern or row step rate), the pasted step inherits
the step rate of the step that it replaces.
1. In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
In any edit mode except for Loop Start/End, Shift-click the step, then choose Edit >
Copy (or press Command-C).
Control-click the step, then choose Copy from the shortcut menu.
2. Do one of the following:
Shift-click the destination step, then choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
Control-click the destination step, then choose Paste from the shortcut menu.
Repeat a step
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Shift-click the step to select it, then choose Edit > Repeat Step from the Step
Sequencer menu bar.
Control-click the step, then choose Repeat from the shortcut menu.
