Getting Started With Logic

Controlling Windows—Screensets

Every song created in Logic can have up to 90 Screensets. Screensets are window
combinations that can be customized by you, and stored to a specific numeric key/
combination of keys on your computer keyboard. To recall a Screenset, you simply
need to press the appropriate key or key combination. Each Screenset remembers the
type of edit or Arrange window(s) opened plus their individual size, position, and zoom
settings. This facility accelerates your workflow massively, and allows you to tailor Logic
to fit your needs and tastes.

To set up a Screenset:

1

Press any of the numeric keys above your computer keyboard (you can also use a
numeric keypad, if using a PowerBook or iBook).

2

Open the desired windows by selecting them from the Windows menu, or by using the
appropriate Key Commands.

3

Resize, zoom, and reposition your selected windows to meet your needs. Resizing and
repositioning of windows is as per any Macintosh application. Zooming of individual
windows is achieved with the Zoom sliders.

4

Press the numeric key again.

Note: This will only work for keys/Screensets 1 to 9.

To set up more than nine Screensets:

m

Press Control while typing in the desired numeric key combination.

Important:

You can not use the number 0 for any of your Screenset combinations. The

reason is that number 0 is assigned for the Transport Bar Play function, using the
computer’s keyboard.

To lock Screensets:

m

If you want to ensure that your Screensets remain as you intended, you should always
lock your Screensets by pressing Shift-L. The lock also includes zoom settings, catch
mode and the visible area.
