The Environment

Toggle
Playing the trigger note starts the Region. Playing it again stops playback.

Toggle Loop
Playing the trigger note starts Region looping. Playing it again stops playback.

Start

This column allows you to quantize Region start and stop. Free means no quantization.
The next 1/16, 1/4 or 1/1 settings start or stop the Region at the next 1/16 or 1/4 note
or at the beginning of the next bar, when a trigger note is played.

Delay

This column allows you to assign a delay to the Region startpoint. As in the Region
Parameter box, the delay is set on the right side of the column in ticks, or on the left
side in note values.

You can use both Delay and Start to make Regions start at any position in the measure.
As an example: Set Start to 1/1 and Delay to 480 ticks to commence playback at the
second 8th note in the measure.

Physical Input/Sequencer Input Objects

The physical input Object represents the physical inputs of your MIDI interface; the
sequencer input represents Logic’s MIDI input. You can only have one of each of these
Objects in the Environment. The default sequencer input Object is named “to
Recording & Thru”.

To create either type of input Object, select New > Physical Input or New > Sequencer
Input
. To make use of an existing Object, drag it onto the relevant layer. This will not
affect its cabling.

Physical Input Object

The physical input represents the MIDI inputs of your MIDI interface. Each song can
have only one physical input Object. You only need to create a physical input Object if
you have deleted the one that existed when the song was created. Do so by selecting
New > Physical Input.

The physical input Object receives MIDI signals from the inputs of the MIDI interface(s)
connected to your computer. This Object has a total of 65 outputs.

The outputs follow the input assignment of all connected MIDI interfaces.
