Chapter 1 Using Logic 35
Cut
All selected objects are removed from their current position, and placed on the
Clipboard. The previous contents of the Clipboard are overwritten in the process (key
command is Command-X).
Copy
A copy of all selected objects is placed on the Clipboard. The selected objects are left in
place. Here too, the previous contents of the Clipboard are overwritten (key command
is Command-C).
Paste
All objects from the Clipboard are copied into the top window. The Clipboard is not
erased in the process (key command is Command-V).
The contents of the Clipboard are added at the current song position (if they are events
or Regions). The song position is incremented by the length of the pasted Region/
event(s).
In the Arrange window, the contents of the Clipboard are pasted to the selected track.
If events are pasted into the Arrange window, either a new MIDI Region or Region is
created, or the events are added to a selected MIDI Region. Any existing Regions
remain unchanged.
In the Environment window, the Objects are pasted into the layer currently being
displayed, at their original positions.
Paste at Original Position
This function works in a similar way to Paste, but the Regions/events in the Clipboard
are always pasted to the position they were originally cut from, regardless of the
current song position (which is where the Regions/events would be placed with the
ordinary Paste function).
Paste Replace
This function only works in the Arrange and editor windows. It resembles Paste, except
that with Paste Replace, all existing Regions/events are replaced by the Regions/events
being pasted.
When using this function, all Regions or events that lie within the time period occupied
by the Regions/events on the Clipboard are erased.
Clear
Any selected objects are erased. Clear has no effect on the Clipboard, and is
functionally identical to pressing the Backspace key.
