[. . . ] Then press (and hold) ç or A and move the mouse carefully to the right until the sequence has become one division longer. While you are doing this, the info line shows the track number followed by the current length of the object in bars, beats, divisions and ticks. The three right-hand numbers should be "3 1 0". Example User Guide Version 4. 1 115 Chapter 7 Arrange Window Dividing Sequences Select the scissors. Now click the desired sequence(s) and keep the mouse button held down. The info line shows the current position of the mouse. When you release the mouse button, all selected objects are cut at the relevant position. The grid is based on the Display Format value. This value is displayed and may be altered on the Transport window, just below the Time Signature indicator. If any notes overlap other notes by more than a 1/16 note, a dialog will appear on-screen: (default) leaves all notes unaltered. The sequence is cut as usual, but when you do this, you can end up with notes in the left-hand half that are much longer than the sequence now is. KEEP SHORTEN truncates all overlapping notes, so that they end at the point where the sequence was divided. divides overlapping notes across the two sequences created when a cut is made; two separate notes are created, with the same pitch and velocity, and the same total length as the original note. SPLIT . . . multiple Division with the Scissors If you hold down the O key (Mac) or ç key (Windows) while cutting an object with the scissor tool, the selected sequence will be cut into several pieces, whose lengths are determined by the length of the first segment. For example: To divide a 16-bar sequence into 8 2-bar sequences, cut the sequence at the start of bar 3 while holding down the O or ç key. Emagic Logic fun 116 Arranging Sequences r Merging Sequences You can merge two or more selected sequences in a track into a single sequence by clicking on one of them with the glue tool. Muting Sequences Often when you are arranging, you will want to test musical ideas out by muting certain objects. You can mute individual or selected objects by clicking on them with the Mute tool. They are then displayed with a dot before the object name. Clicking a muted object reverses this state (unmuting). You can perform the same function using the Mute Sequences key command. X Soloing Sequences The Solo tool enables you to solo individual or selected objects by clicking them, and holding down the mouse button. You can also scrub the object by horizontally moving the mouse. If Logic fun is in play mode, solo playback starts as soon as you stop scrubbing. Release the mouse button to end solo listening. Naming a Sequence One sequence: click the sequence with the Text tool, and a text input box appears. Enter the name and press R, or click another object, or the background. The same applies if you are entering the name in the sequence parameter box. Multiple Naming. . . Select a group of sequences (e. g. with the rubber band) and click one of them with the text tool. [. . . ] Arrange Window Window in Logic fun where tracks and sequences are displayed and edited. After Touch Ruler in Logic fun windows, that displays the time axis--subdivided into measures. This is also where the Cycle and Autodrop zones are graphically displayed. Use the mouse to control different functions in M. L. (Locators, Song Position Line). Bar Ruler A mode that keeps the visible section of a window updated with the current song position. Catch Function Click Another term for the metronome of a sequencer. Control Change Various types of MIDI data that add expressiveness to recorded music by controlling standard parameters such as volume, pan, portamento, etc. Programmable number of beats before recording actually starts. Count In Cycle Mode Mode in which Logic fun repeats the passage between the left and the right Locator Position. Setting that allows a track to be slipped forward or backward in timeTick Steps.
