16 Chapter 1 Using Logic
Text Input
You can input text names in the same way as numbers, but you only need to click a
name field once to allow input. You can directly click on an object with the Text tool to
rename it.
Numbered Names
Any number of selected Objects or Regions can be assigned same name. If the name
ends with a number, this number will automatically be incremented by 1 for each
subsequent Object or Region. This allows you to quickly, and uniquely, name all of the
Regions on a track or all of the Fader Objects in the Environment, as examples.
Note: To turn off automatic numbering, place a space after the number at the end of
the Object or Region name. All selected Objects and Region will then end in the same
number.
Tools and the Toolbox
Logic allows recorded data to be handled graphically. This means that you don’t need
to input instructions in command lines in order to perform operations, but rather, do so
by manipulating graphical “objects”. This is done with the help of Tools (see “The Tools”
on page 18). Each edit window provides different Toolboxes that are suitable for the
tasks performed in the editor.
The Arrange window Toolbox looks like this:
When editing objects graphically, you always have two tools available at the mouse
pointer position: one is already active, the other is activated by holding down
Command.
