Menus: Sort Instrument menu by layers
The instruments in the pull-down instrument selection menu are sorted by
(Environment) layers.
Displays: Display Middle C as:
This pull-down menu option affects the description of notes in the editors. The bottom
C on a five-octave keyboard (note # 36) is labeled C1, and middle C (#60 or c’) is labeled
C3. According to this standard, the lowest MIDI note (# 0) is called C-2. This is the
official standard, and is used by most manufacturers. Use of the C3 (Yamaha) option
will set Logic to this “standard” mode.
Should you select the C4 (Roland) option, the bottom C on a five-octave keyboard is
labeled C2, and middle C is labeled as C4. In this standard, the lowest MIDI note is C1.
Displays: Zeros as Spaces
In SMPTE times that start with zeros, the zeros will be replaced by spaces when this
checkbox option is selected.
Displays: Display SMPTE:
This pull-down menu can be used to set the following options for the SMPTE time
display:
• With Bits: subframes (SMPTE bits 0 to 79) are shown.
• Without Bits: subframes are not shown.
• With Quarter Frames: quarter frames are shown.
• As Feet Frames, 35 mm film: the display is displayed in feet and frames, for 35 mm
film.
• As Feet Frames, 16 mm film: the display is displayed in feet and frames, for 16 mm film.
• With Milliseconds: the frame fractions are displayed in milliseconds instead of SMPTE
bits (also called “subframes”). Don’t forget that this value is dependent on the frame
rate: at 25 fps, a frame is 40 milliseconds long, at 30 fps, approximately 33 ms.
Displays: Display Tempo As
This pull-down menu can be used to set the following options for the tempo display:
• Beats Per Minute (BPM, Maelzel): beats per minute, to four individually adjustable
decimal places.
• BPM without Decimals: beats per minute, with no decimal places.
• Frames Per Click with Eights: frames per beat with eighths. After the value, you will
see “fpc”.
• Frames Per Click with Decimals: frames per beat, to four decimal places. Take care, this
display can easily be confused with the bpm display.
