No Reset
If the box next to the No Reset parameter is checked, no reset messages will be sent to
this instrument. This can be useful if controllers are being used for non-musical
purposes, for example when an Instrument is used for mixer automation. The
Preferences > MIDI > Reset Messages window controls what reset messages are normally
sent, but these messages are not sent to “No Reset” instruments.
Style
The Style parameter is located at the bottom of the Parameter box. It displays Auto by
default but can be changed to any of the available score styles. Whenever a Region is
created on one of the Instrument’s tracks it will be assigned the score style displayed
here. In the case of Auto, Logic will pick an appropriate style based on the pitch range
of the notes in the Region.
Don’t forget: you can change a MIDI Region’s Score Style at any time in the Display
Parameter box in the Score window.
You can change the score styles of all MIDI Regions on an Instrument’s tracks by
holding down Option when selecting the Instrument’s default score style.
Additional Audio Instrument Object Parameters
All of the abovementioned parameters are available for Audio Instrument Objects,
which also share the following additional checkboxes with Audio tracks/Objects. There
is one exception, however: Audio Instrument Objects have a Device parameter instead
of a Port parameter, which allows you to specify the audio device, rather than a MIDI
port.
• Show EQs: Hides/shows the Track EQ button at the top of the channel strip.
• Show Inserts: Hides/shows Insert slots on the channel strip.
• Show Sends: Hides/shows Sends on the channel strip.
• Show I/O: Hides/shows the Input and Output slots on the channel strip.
A further Value as pull-down menu is available, which allows you to display parameters
numerically (Num) or in decibels (dB).
