Apple Logic Express 9 - Manual (Page 646)

To create an empty MIDI region
µ
Click at the desired position on a software instrument track lane with the Pencil tool.
This inserts an empty MIDI region, allowing you to manually enter events into it.
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 corresponding key command, default
assignment: 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 corresponding key command, default
assignment: Command-V).
Logic Express adds the Clipboard contents (MIDI events) to the selected MIDI region.
Note: If no MIDI region is selected, Logic Express creates a new MIDI region on the selected
track, at the current playhead position.
In general, event-level editing cannot be performed on regions in the Arrange area, but
there are a few exceptions. In some cases, it may actually be more efficient to perform
your edits (or operations) on MIDI regions in the Arrange area, rather than in a MIDI editor.
For example:
• Altering note lengths by resizing the region (see Adjusting the Start or End Point of
MIDI Regions ).
