Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 710)

You can use these filter buttons alone, or in conjunction with, specific selection commands
available in the Edit menu and as key commands. These include:
• Select All (default key command assignment: Command-A): Selects all visible events.
• Select All Following (default key command assignment: Shift-F): Selects all events after
(below) the currently selected event.
Note: When a marquee selection is active, using this key command extends the marquee
selection—over all tracks within a marquee selection—to the project end point.
• Select Inside Locators (default key command assignment: Shift-L): Selects all events that
fall within the locator boundaries.
Note: When a marquee selection is active, using this key command sets the marquee
selection to match the locators.
• Select Overlapped Regions/Events: Selects all events that overlap one another. This is
usually the end of one event, and the start of the following event.
• Select Muted Regions/Events (default key command assignment: Shift-M): Selects all muted
events. This selection command is usually a precursor for deletion (Delete).
• Select Similar Regions/Events (default key command assignment: Shift-S): Selects all C#3
note events, for example.
• Select Equal Regions/Events (default key command assignment: Shift-E): Selects identical
events (same event type, and value).
• Select Equal Channels (default key command assignment: Shift-K): Selects events on the
same MIDI channel.
• Select Equal Subpositions (default key command assignment: Shift-P): Selects events that
start at the same position.
Details on what constitutes equal or similar events can be found in Selecting Similar or
Identical Objects, Regions, or Events .
Creating Events
The Event List accepts real-time and step recording of MIDI events, as described in
Recording in Logic Pro . As with the other MIDI editors, you can also create events directly
in the Event List.
To add an event manually
1 Move the playhead to the insert position.
The current playhead position is used as the insert position if it is not moved.
2 Click the Create button.
3 Click an event type button.
The event is added at the playhead position, and is automatically selected.
