Assign a chord to a key using a MIDI keyboard
It can be faster to use your MIDI keyboard when assigning chords to trigger keys.
The Learn process can be started and stopped by playing an assigned note on your
MIDI keyboard.
1. In Logic Pro, click the disclosure triangle at the lower left to open the extended
parameters.
2. Choose the MIDI note number you want to use as a remote control for the Learn button
from the Learn Remote pop-up menu.
Choose Off if you no longer want to use a MIDI note as the Learn button remote control.
3. Play the note selected as the Learn button remote control on your MIDI keyboard.
The Learn button label changes to “Trigger Key” and the button begins to blink.
4. Play a trigger key—within the chord trigger range—on your MIDI keyboard.
This enables the trigger key for chord assignment. The Learn (Trigger Key) button label
changes to “Chord.”
5. Play the note or notes you want to assign to the trigger key on your MIDI keyboard.
As you play each note, you hear it and any previously assigned notes in the chord.
Play assigned notes a second time to unassign or remove them from the chord.
6. Play the note selected as the Learn button remote control on your MIDI keyboard to
end chord assignment.
You can repeat steps 3–6 to assign a different chord to each key in the chord trigger range
when in Multi Chord mode. In Single Chord mode, only one chord can be learned.
Clear a chord assignment
