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. A text input box appears User Guide Version 4. 1 117 Chapter 7 Arrange Window where you can name the sequence. All sequences are given the same name. . . . with incrementing Numbers If you end the name of the sequence with a number, then all selected sequences are given the same name, with increasing numbers. If you want to give all the sequences the same number at the end, just add a space after the number. The above also applies if you enter the name via the top line in the sequence parameter box, instead of using the text tool. Inserting Events MIDI events can be added directly to the selected track on the Arrange window, at the current song position, from one of the edit windows via the clipboard. Logic fun checks as it does this that you have selected a sequence, and then adds the data to that sequence. If you have not selected any sequences, Logic fun will create a new sequence on the selected track. 7. 4 Sequence Parameters The Sequence Parameter box displays the parameters Quantize, Loop, Transposie, Velocity and Delay for the currently selected sequences. 118 Emagic Logic fun Sequence Parameters r If you select several sequences which have different play parameters, then the corresponding parameter(s) will be marked with a * You can preset parameters for newly recorded sequences, by clicking on the background of the Arrange window. The Sequence parameter box will display the label MIDI THRU, instead of a sequence name. Any settings now made in the parameter box will affect incoming data in real time, and will be applied to all subsequent recordings. An example: Let's assume you want to play in the entire rhythm accompaniment, including: drums, bass, piano, and guitar for a refrain. You already know that all the sequences you will record will have the quantize value "16C Swing", and the transpose value "+3". Click on a free space in the arrangement field, so that no more sequences are selected. In the Sequence Parameter box, you will now find the entry MIDI THRU, instead of a sequence name. All of the newly recorded sequences will have these settings, and the settings will be heard in real time, as you record. Quantize Here you can select a quantization grid for individual sequences, and use it to correct the timing of your MIDI recordings. 6 ­ 136. xref Loop With the loop function, a sequence can be continuously repeated. The frequency of the repetition corresponds to the sequence length, so a sequence that is two measures long, will repeat every two measures. User Guide Version 4. 1 119 Chapter 7 Arrange Window You can activate the loop function for selected sequences by setting the parameter for Loop to On. The repetitions are graphically shown as gray boxes. Use the loop function when certain passages are to be repeated exactly. Another advantage is that any changes made to the original sequence automatically affecrt all its loops. Please be careful not to confuse "Loop" with "Cycle". "Cycle" repeats an entire piece of a song, including corresponding jumps in position. [. . . ] opens the information box containing information on the program version and authors.
