Further Parameters
You also find the following parameters in the Instrument’s Parameter Box:
Transpose
The Transpose parameter allows you to define the number of semitones that all note
events will be transposed by on output. Negative values transpose downwards.
Velocity
The Velocity parameter allows you to increase or decrease the “note on” velocities of all
note events by an amount adjustable between
−
99 and 99.
Key Limit
The two note values of the Key Limit parameter define a pitch range. All notes outside
this range will be ignored by the instrument when it plays a MIDI Region.
Vel Limit
The two values of the Vel Limit parameter define a velocity range. All notes whose
velocity is outside this range will not be played by the instrument.
Delay
The Delay parameter causes all MIDI events to be sent early or late by from
−
99 to 99
ticks. This allows you to adjust for any differences in reaction time between your
various MIDI devices. For delay effects use the Region parameter of the same name, as
this allows longer delay times.
No Transpose
If the box next to the No Transpose parameter is checked, all Regions on any tracks
played by this instrument are protected from transposition. In other words, the
Transpose Region parameter is ignored. This is very useful for instruments assigned to
drum or other multi-timbral samples, as transposition will cause the sounds rather than
the pitches to change for these instruments.
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.
