Chase

This MIDI Song Settings panel is used to alter the Chase Events (see “Chase Events” on
page 89) settings
.

You can reach this page via the main menu File > Song Settings > Chase Events option.

You will see a number of checkboxes that determine the event type(s) that will be
chased. If a checkbox is ticked, it indicates that chase events is activated for that event
type.

Notes
This button only affects Note On and Note Off events in Regions played by instruments
where the No Transpose box is not checked.

Sustained
Activation of this checkbox causes Logic to search (before the current playback start
point) for any notes that should still be playing because of a sustain pedal message.

In ‘No Transpose’ Instruments
Activation of this checkbox ensures that all notes (including instruments with an active
No Transpose parameter) are chased. If these are instruments for drum sounds or loops,
as is typically the case, this box should not be checked.

Program Change
The most recent program change event (before the current playback start point) is
sent.

Note: Please keep in mind the time that your sound module may require to respond to
an incoming program change event.

Pitch Bend
Pitch bend data is searched for.

Control Changes
If this switch is active, you can switch three groups of MIDI controllers (control change
messages, such as modulation, volume, pan, and sustain) on and off individually:

0–15
Controller numbers 0 to 15 are chased. These include the following
controllers: modulation wheel, breath, foot, volume, pan, portamento time, balance,
and expression, plus the MSB (most significant byte) for data entry and bank selection.
