MIDI Regions
MIDI Regions are containers for MIDI events. They offer a
number of additional editing possibilities over Audio
Regions.
In the following chapter we will look at these more flexible aspects of MIDI Regions. We
will also explore Logic’s event editors.
Transposing MIDI Regions
Transposition is a pitch change of either a MIDI event or Region by a number of
semitones. The Transpose parameter is found in the Region Parameter box. It can be
used to change the transposition of the selected Regions.
Note: Audio Regions can not be transposed with the Transpose function. This isn’t true
of Apple Loops, however. These loops may be transposed, and can also be played back
at varying speeds.
To transpose a MIDI Region:
1 Select the last of the four “Bass” MIDI Regions in the first track.
2 Click-hold to the right of the Transpose parameter in the Region Parameter box.
3 In the menu that is displayed, select a value of +12 by carefully dragging your mouse
upwards.
4 Release the mouse button. The selected Bass MIDI Region will be transposed up 12
semitones (an octave). Listen to the result.
When multiple MIDI Regions are selected, an asterisk ( ∗) may be shown instead of a
value for the Transpose parameter in the Region Parameter box. This indicates that the
selected MIDI Regions each have different transposition values.
