Monitor objects in the Logic Pro Environment
A monitor object displays all events (MIDI and meta) passing through it. It remembers the
last 32 events, with the newest events shown at the bottom of the list. You can resize it to
show from 1 to 32 events. Clicking anywhere in the body of the monitor clears all events.
Monitors are useful as both testing and branching devices. When coupled with objects
that have functionally different outputs (channel splitters and mapped instruments, for
example), monitor objects can be used to attach more than one output cable to the same
function.

Macro objects
Macro objects in the Logic Pro Environment
Macros are not actually Environment objects. Rather, they are collections of other
Environment objects and their cabling. Macros have a lot in common with standard
Environment objects; you can connect cables to and from them, they can be resized, they
have their own parameters and icons, they can be chosen as destinations in the track list,
and they can be copied or dragged between Environment layers and between projects.
Macros are limited in size. The limit depends on the memory usage of the individual objects
within the macro—typically between 100 and 200 objects.
You can nest macros, which means that a macro can contain other macros as objects.
