Apple Logic Express 7 - Manual (Page 115)

Chapter 3 Arrange Window 115
Naming a Region
Click the Region with the Text tool (see “The Tools” on page 18), and a text input box
will appear. Enter the desired name and press Enter, or click another Region or the
Arrange area background to exit text input mode.
The same applies if entering a name in the Region Parameter box.
Multiple Naming
Select a group of Regions (with the rubber band, for example), and click one of them
with the Text tool. A text input box will appear, allowing you to name the Region. All
Regions are assigned same name.
With Incrementing Numbers
If you end the name of the Region with a number, all selected Regions are assigned the
same name, but are incrementally numbered (region 1, region 2, region 3, and so on).
They are numbered in accordance with their temporal (time) positions. If you want all
Regions to end with the same number, just add a space after the number.
The above also applies if you enter the name in the top line of the Region Parameter
box, rather than use the text tool.
Special Functions
Inserting Events
MIDI events can be added directly to the selected track in the Arrange window, at the
current song position, via the Clipboard. Events can be copied from one of the edit
windows (even from another song).
This function allows you to insert MIDI events—from the Matrix Editor, for example—
directly into the Arrange window. Logic checks for a selected MIDI Region (for use as a
destination), and adds the data to it. If no MIDI Regions are selected, Logic will create a
new MIDI Region on the selected track.
Deleting Duplicate Events
The Erase Duplicates key command searches all selected MIDI Regions and all MIDI
Regions in selected folders, for identical events with the same time position. Any events
occurring twice or more at the same position are deleted (allowing one to remain).
• The search looks for notes, controllers, monophonic aftertouch and program change
data.
• Events of the same type, but on different channels, are not viewed as being identical.
• The “same time position” includes two notes which are output simultaneously
because of the current quantization setting.
