• A long Shift-click allows a rubber-band selection. The selected area will toggle.
• Moved automation data will automatically erase any data which exists in the
destination area.
Relative and Absolute Value Changes of Selections
There are two choices available when changing the values of a selection of nodes:
• Clicking on a line or node enables you to change all values by the same absolute
amount.
• Clicking outside a line, within the selected area (a node or outside a node), changes
all values proportionately, by a percentage value.
Track Automation: Select All, Scaling
Command-clicking on either; the numerical or graphical value displays in the Arrange
track list allows the following:
• A short Command-click selects all (current parameter) automation data of the track.
• A long Command-click scales all (current parameter) automation data of the track.
Pen Tool
The Pen Tool allows you to freely draw automation events.
Eraser Tool
The Eraser Tool allows you to erase automation events.
Value Display in Hyper Draw
Numerical values are automatically displayed at Hyper Draw nodes, if there is sufficient
space onscreen. Numerical values are context-sensitive—the centered pan position is
displayed as 0 (not 64), and volume is displayed in dB, as examples.
If no events exist for volume and pan, Logic draws a horizontal line of the current value
(if available). If clicked, a single event of that value will appear on the Hyper Draw track/
area. Further clicks work as per usual.
Activating Region Hyper Draw
To activate Hyper Draw for the currently-selected Region(s), select View > Hyper Draw…
You can select different Hyper Draw modes for different Regions.
Event Type
You can select the following types of events directly from the Hyper Draw menu:
• Volume
• Panning
The chosen event type is displayed as a controller number, or by name, in the upper
left corner of the Hyper Draw area.
