Keyboard Objects
You can use a keyboard object to create notes with the mouse. A keyboard object also
displays all notes passing through it. In this sense, you can think of it as a real-time, MIDI
note on monitor. Although you can record the output of the keyboard in Logic Pro, its
main purpose is for testing and monitoring in the Environment.
To create a keyboard object
µ
Choose New > Keyboard (or use the New Keyboard key command).
Apart from the Icon parameter, you can also set the following in the Object Parameter
box:
• Channel field: Sets the MIDI channel for the keyboard’s output.
• Velocity field: Determines a fixed velocity value for all notes.
• Lowest field: Defines the octave of the lowest note on the keyboard object. You can
resize the keyboard to control its range above the lowest note.
Monitor Objects
A monitor object displays all events (MIDI and meta) passing through it. It remembers
the last 32 events, with the newest events shown at the bottom of the list. You can resize
it to show from 1 to 32 events. Clicking anywhere in the body of the monitor clears all
events.
