Introducing the Hyper Editor
The Hyper Editor displays MIDI note or controller events as vertical beams, placed along
a user-defined time grid. This makes the Hyper Editor the ideal place to:
• Add or edit controller data, such as note velocities. It makes some editing tasks—such
as data scaling—much faster.
• Quickly create and edit MIDI drum parts.

Event definitions
• Event definition: Each horizontal row (or lane) provides an event definition, which
determines the type of event displayed or affected. When you select a row in the name
column, its event definition is shown in the Inspector’s Event Definition Parameter box.
• MIDI events: Each MIDI event is represented by a vertical beam, aligned with a particular
time position. The value of the controller, or velocity of the note, is indicated by the
height of the beam. Taller beams indicate higher values.

Understanding Common Elements of Logic Express Windows
All Logic Express windows, including the Arrange area, feature a number of common
elements. This consistent approach between windows makes your life easier, as you’ll
find these elements in the same place throughout the application.
