Apple Logic Pro 7 - Manual (Page 70)

70 Chapter 1 Using Logic
Quitting the Program
Choose File > Quit (Command-Q) to leave the program. If you’ve made changes, but
haven’t saved them, you will be asked if you want to do so before quitting (press Enter
to save).
Closing the Song without Saving
The Close Song without Save key command closes the currently active song without
saving it—and you will not be asked to do so. This command was included at the
request of many experienced Logic users. Please only use it if you know what you’re
doing.
Standard MIDI Files
Standard MIDI files are not specific to a particular sequencer program, or type of
computer. They contain the following information:
• MIDI events, including time positions and channel assignments
• Names of the individual tracks
• Names and positions of markers
• Tempo changes
• Copyright marks
Logic supports the importing and exporting of Standard MIDI file formats 0 and 1:
• Format 0 can contain one track.
• Format 1 can contain multiple tracks.
Neither format recognizes any division of a track (into several MIDI Regions, for
example).
Loading Standard MIDI Files
To load a Standard MIDI file, select File > Import.
Note: If you select the MIDI files option in the Open file type menu, only MIDI files will
be displayed in the File Selector.
If a song is loaded, you will be asked to “Create new environment or copy current
environment for MIDI File? New/Copy”.
If you click Copy, the existing environment is copied. The tracks of the Standard MIDI file
are automatically assigned to suitable instruments.
If no song is loaded, or you answer the question by clicking New, the default
environment (the default song) is used.
Copyright
The copyright mark is read as Marker text.
