Event Types
Note events
Note events are used to trigger (play) software instruments and external MIDI sound modules
or keyboards.
Ch(annel): MIDI channel of a note from 1 to 16.
Num(ber): MIDI note number (or pitch). The range is from C −2 (note #0) to G8 (note
#127). Middle C is note #60. It’s known as C3 in MIDI terminology. On some keyboards and
synthesizer modules (notably those made by Korg and Roland), the note range is from C −1
(note #0) to G9 (#127). Middle C is called C4 on such devices. The Display Middle C As pop-up
menu in the Logic Pro > Preferences > Display pane allows you to alter the display to match
your device.
Val(ue): Velocity of a note from 1 to 127. The zero value (0) acts as a note o message, and
cannot be used.
Length/Info: Length of the note. Although MIDI can only transfer note on or note o messages,
Logic Pro X stores the position and length of all notes, which makes them easier to access
musically. The note o message is generated automatically during playback.
If the edited MIDI region is played through a mapped instrument, the names dened for each
individual note appear in the Status column. A small note symbol to the left of each name aids in
identifying these named events as note events.
