206 Chapter 5 The Environment
Replacing Objects
If any Objects are selected when attempting to add Objects to the current layer via Edit
> Paste, a dialog box asks if you want to “Replace current selection? No/Replace”. If you
press Enter or click Replace, the selected Objects will be replaced by the Objects in the
Clipboard. The existing cabling remains intact.
Assigning an Object to the Selected Track
You can assign any Environment Object to the selected Arrange window track by
clicking on the Object with the MIDI Thru tool.
Remember: Logic’s MIDI Thru function diverts all incoming MIDI events to the
Environment Object assigned to the selected track.
Special Selection Commands
Selecting All Used Instruments
The Edit > Select Used Instruments function selects all Objects that are assigned to tracks
in the Arrange window, or are connected to such Objects via cables.
Selecting All Unused Instruments
The Edit > Select Unused Instruments function selects all Objects that are neither; used in
the Arrange window, nor connected to any such Objects via cables.
Selecting Cable Destination Objects
The Edit > Select Cable Destination option highlights the destination Object of a selected
cable connection. This is particularly useful in two cases:
• The destination Object is in a different layer. You can use the function to select and
display the destination Object in its layer;
• From the list display (View > By Text), you can locate the destination Object of a
source Object, because selecting the source Object also selects its cable connections.
This function allows you to follow the cabling from one serially-cabled Object to the
next. If several Objects are connected, or several cable connections are selected, the
path of the top cable is followed.
Toggling your selection
Just as in the Arrange and editor windows, you can change the status of any selected
Objects in the current layer by choosing Edit > Toggle Selection.
