Editing MIDI Events in the Event List
 Num(ber): MIDI note number (or pitch). The range is from C –2 (note #0) to G8 (note
#127). Middle C is note #60. It’s known as C3 in MIDI terminology. On some keyboards
and synthesizer modules (notably those made by Korg and Roland), the note range is
from C –1 (note #0) to G9 (#127). Middle C is called C4 on such devices. The Display
Middle C As menu in the Logic Express > Preferences > Display tab allows you to
alter the display to match your device.
 Val(ue): Velocity of a note from 1 to 127. The zero value (0) acts as a note off message,
and cannot be used.
 Length/Info: Length of the note. Although MIDI can only transfer note on or note off
messages, Logic Express actually stores the position and length of all notes, which
makes them easier to access musically. The note off message is generated
automatically during playback.
Mapped Instrument Notes
If the edited MIDI region is played through a mapped instrument, the names defined
for each individual note appear in the Status column. A small note symbol to the left of
each name aids in identifying these named events as note events.
