986 Glossary
local menu bar Menu in a window that only contains functions that are relevant to
that particular window.
Local Off mode Operating mode on a MIDI keyboard where the keyboard does not
directly play its own integrated sound generator. This is useful when using it as a
master keyboard for Logic Pro.
locators Lower two sets of numbers, displayed to the right of the position indicators in
the Transport bar. The number on top is the left locator; the number below is the right
locator. The left and right locators define the cycle time-range, useful for cycle or skip
playback operations and cycle recording. The locators are also used to define the
editing area for certain functions.
loop An audio file that contains recurring rhythmic musical elements, or elements
suitable for repetition. Logic Pro supports Apple Loops, amongst other file formats.
Loop Browser Window (or tab in the Media area of the Arrange window) used to
access and manage Apple Loop and ReCycle files.
Loop function The Loop region parameter Logic Pro creates loop repeats for an audio
or MIDI region. These repetitions will continue until the project end point is reached, or
another region or folder (whichever comes first) is encountered on the same track in
the Arrange area.
main menu bar The bar at the top of the screen, offering global functions such as
opening, saving, exporting, or importing projects. It does not offer access to local
window functions. It does, however, contain an Edit menu—with commands that apply
to the window with key focus.
marker A marker is an indicator, or bookmark, that is tied to a specific time position in
a project. It can contain text which act as notes for different versions of a project, for
example. Markers can also be used for a number of selection and navigation tasks.
Marker List Window (or tab in the Lists area of the Arrange window) that shows an
alphanumeric listing of all marker events. It also includes a Marker Text area that allows
you to add text information (notes) to particular marker events.
Marker track One of the global tracks, used for the creation, editing, and display of
marker events.
marker text Text information (notes) attached to particular marker events. Added in
the Marker Text window or Marker Text area of the Marker List.
Marquee tool Crosshair-shaped tool in the Arrange Toolbox, used to select and edit
parts of audio and MIDI regions.
