Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 193)

2 Type in 45, followed by the Return key.
The playhead moves to the beginning of bar 45.
You can also use the mouse to make a partial selection in an input field, so that only the
highlighted part is overwritten. As long as the input field is open, the computer keyboard
can only be used for data entry, and cannot be used for key commands (with the exception
of the main menu functions).
Discrete Values
Using numerical input, you can type in:
• Decimals: 1, 01, 2, 3, 4, 127, …
• Hexadecimals: $1, $01, $2, $3, $A, $0A, $7F
• Notes: “C3,” “C#3,” “Cb3,” “C##2” (equivalent to D2), “Dbb2” (equivalent to C2). If you
double-click the note “E3,” you can enter a decimal value such as “64” or a hex value
of “$40” instead of the note name.
• ASCII Code: You can also input numbers as ASCII code: just place a ` or " in front of the
selected key, and the ASCII code is input as a number. For example, "! results in a value
of 33; "a results in a value of 97. This function is particularly useful for entering text in
SysEx strings.
Arithmetical Operations
In many parts of Logic Pro, mathematical operations can also be used to change values.
For example:
• You can subtract from the existing value by entering “−5.”
• You can sum two values by entering “38+17.”
• You can multiply two values by entering “7*8.”
• You can divide two values by entering “80/5.”
Canceling Numerical Input
You can cancel numerical input by entering no text at all, and pressing the Return key.
Entering Text
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 a region (or Mixer channel strip) with the
Text tool to rename it.
