If you have created a controller transform, you can filter the input message type, and the
controller transform will still send its output message type. It is also possible to filter the
output message type, but in this case the output of the controller transform will be filtered.

Setting a Channel Strip to Ignore Hermode Tuning

If a patch (or the concert or set containing the patch) is set to use Hermode tuning, but
the patch contains a channel strip (for example, one with a drum or percussion instrument)
that you do not want to use Hermode tuning, you can set the individual channel strip to
ignore Hermode tuning.

To set a channel strip to ignore Hermode tuning

µ

In the MIDI Input tab of the Channel Strip Inspector, select the Ignore Hermode Tuning
checkbox.

For information about using Hermode tuning, see the Logic Pro User Manual.

Working with Graphs

Using graphs, you can graphically remap the values for some MIDI control messages so
that input values from your controller produce different output values for the channel
strip or plug-in parameter. Graphs make it easier to see and modify a range of values for
a parameter, such as velocity or filter cutoff.

You can use graphs for the following types of parameters:

• Controller transforms

• Velocity scaling (both input velocity and note input)

• Parameters to which a screen control is mapped

You open a graph window by clicking the button for that type of graph in the appropriate
Inspector. The Transform and Velocity Scaling graphs for the selected channel strip are
available in the MIDI Input tab of the Channel Strip Inspector. The Parameter graph for
the selected screen control is available in the tab for the individual mapping as well as
in the Mappings tab in the (Edit mode) Screen Control Inspector.

The graph shows the range of input values on the horizontal (x) axis, moving from left
to right, and shows the range of output values on the vertical (y) axis, moving from bottom
to top.

In the graph window, you have several ways of working. You can edit the graph curve
directly, edit values numerically using the Precision Editor, or use the Curve buttons to
set the graph to one of the predefined curves.
