Copying Events via the Clipboard in the Arrange Area
You can use the Clipboard to add MIDI events directly to the selected track in the
Arrange area, at the current playhead position. This also works for events from another
project.
To copy MIDI events in the Arrange area:
1 Select the events you want to copy in one of the event editors.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (or use the Copy key command, default: Command-C).
3 Select the track (and MIDI region, if applicable) you want to copy the events to.
4 Choose Edit > Paste (or use the Paste key command, default: Command-V).
Logic Pro adds the Clipboard contents (MIDI events) to the selected MIDI region.
Note: If no MIDI region is selected, Logic Pro will create a new MIDI region on the
selected track, at the current playhead position.
Monitoring and Resetting MIDI Events
The top line of the Transport bar’s MIDI Activity display shows the last MIDI message
received. The bottom line shows the most recently transmitted MIDI message. The
monitor is mainly used for checking MIDI connections.
When Logic Pro receives more than one MIDI note simultaneously; the respective, held
intervals (between notes) are interpreted and displayed as chords.
To switch off stuck notes:
m Click on the lower MIDI Activity display section, or click the Stop button twice in rapid
succession.
In both cases, reset messages are sent, as defined in Logic Pro > Preferences > MIDI >
Reset Messages.
On occasion, MIDI modules continue to sound, even when no note data is being sent
to them. This indicates that your sound sources have not responded to the All Notes
Off messages sent by Logic Pro.
