Apple Logic Express 7 - Manual (Page 36)

36 Chapter 1 Using Logic
To apply the same quantization value to another series of selected events (even in
other editor windows), select Functions > Quantize Again, or click (quickly) on the Q
button a second time.
Note Quantization
Normally, all notes in a MIDI Region are quantized in accordance with the Quantization
parameter value chosen in the Region Parameter box
Reversing Note Quantization
Note events can be returned to their original record positions, or moved manually, by
selecting the off setting in the Quantization menu. Alternately, you can click on the Q
button while holding down Option.
You can also achieve the same result by selecting Functions > De-Quantize.
Key Commands
You can activate nearly all Logic functions with key commands or MIDI messages. The
Key Commands window is used for the assignment of key commands to computer
keyboard keys or to MIDI messages.
Note: A number of Logic functions are only available as key commands.
Whenever this manual mentions a key command, this refers to a function or option
that can be accessed by either a computer keyboard keystroke (or keystroke
combination) or a MIDI message. This allows you to completely customize Logic to suit
your own working style.
Saving Key Commands
Your personal key assignments are stored in a separate Preferences file. You should:
• Make a backup of this file at another hard disk location.
• Make a backup on removable media (a CD-ROM, for example), in case you need to
use Logic on another computer.
Whenever you install Logic updates, your personal key commands will remain
unaltered.
Note: Even the fixed global key commands of older versions are user-definable. Please
keep in mind that some of these commands such as Undo, Save, Quit, New, Open, Cut,
Copy, and Paste follow Mac OS X conventions, and probably shouldn’t be altered.
