Chapter 1 Using Logic 39
Delete and Select Next Region/Event
This key command erases the Regions and events currently selected in the Arrange and
editor windows, and selects the next Region/event.
General Functions of the Editors
Logic’s MIDI editors allow the editing of events (MIDI messages). Logic’s MIDI editors
include the Score, Matrix, and Hyper Editor, Event List and Transform windows.
Opening Editors
Double-clicking on a MIDI Region opens the Score Editor. There is a pull-down menu
on the Preferences > Global > Editing page, which lets you select the editor that will be
opened when you double-click on a MIDI Region. The options are: the Score, Event,
Matrix, and Hyper Editor.
Control Output via MIDI
Switching on the MIDI Out button causes MIDI events to be sent when they are added,
selected, or edited. This allows you to audibly monitor every editing stage, whether you
are scrolling through the Event List (automatic selection) or transposing a note.
General Note Events Functions
In the Functions menu in the editors, there is a sub-menu called Note Events. This
contains functions that allow you to manipulate selected notes in a manner influenced
by the notes surrounding or overlapping them; musically speaking, you can think of
this function as adding division lines within chords. These functions can be very useful
if you want to set up a polyphonic display within the Score Editor.
Removing overlaps
When you select Functions > Note Events > Note Overlap Correction, any overlapping
notes are shortened, so as to remove the overlaps. The affected notes must be selected
first. There are three different “overlap” variations, which are also available as key
commands:
• Note Overlap Correction (selected/any): this function removes overlaps for all
selected notes, regardless of whether the following overlapped notes are selected or
not.
• Note Overlap Correction (selected/selected): this function removes overlaps for all
selected notes, but only if the following overlapped notes are selected.
• Note Overlap Correction for Repeated Notes: this function removes overlaps for all
selected notes, but only if the following overlapped notes have the same note
number (pitch).
