Auto-zoom in Piano Roll Editor?

Is there a way to auto-zoom the piano roll editor so it encompasses all the notes in the region?
Thanks

1 - Press Escape - it should give you a list of the tools.
2 - Press - 9 ...this corresponds to the Zoom tool/Magnifying Glass
3 - Click draw a zoom area with the Tool on all you want to see
4 - Click anywhere outside to return to original zoom
This takes micro seconds once you are familiar with the Key Commands.. and you could call it;
Auto- Zoom in the Piano Roll Editor

MIDI In button (Step entry) in Piano Roll editor

I'm observing a behavior in the Piano Roll editor that does not seem to be documented in the user manual. If I double-click on it fast enough, it turns red with the MIDI plug graphic filled in black. In this state, it will not accept MIDI input from my keyboard controller. Anyone know what is going on with this
TIA.

Ah! Got it. Instead of quickly doubleclicking the MIDI-out symbol (that's what it is) you can also option-click.

8.0.1 has broken Content Link in Piano Roll Editor

Logic 8.0.1 has managed to break Content Link in Piano Roll Editor... Select a MIDI region in Arrange, choose a Screenset for Piano Roll and, with Link active, you'll see the contents for the selected MIDI region. From that point on though, you'll only ever see the contents of that first selection, no matter what other MIDI region is selected. Logic can be forced to reveal the contents of another MIDI region by double-clicking or Option-double-clicking but it's hardly ideal; not when your workflow for the past ten years has been screenset based.
That bug alone is enough for me to go straight back to 8.0
Nice one Apple.

Sorry Captain - you're quite right. When changing screensets, the link is lost.
In Logic 7 the default behaviour is what you want - screensets follow the selected region. This does appear to be broken in 8.0.1
Perhaps some people would prefer this - so that you could have screensets that have Show Contents link mode on for different regions, for example. The best solution would be to have a Preference where one could choose the option one prefers.

Logic Pro X. Right-click not working in the piano-roll editor. And colour issues.

I usually use the right mouse-button to open the toolbox under the cursor but this doesn't appear to work within the piano-roll edit window in Pro X. Is this the same for everyone? The right-click works in all other windows. Seems pretty odd.
Also is it just me who finds the near-black background very oppressive? I worked in front of Pro X for several hours yesterday and was left wishing I could change the background colour of the main and edit windows. Is there any way to do this?
I also really need to be able to access custom colours for the colour palette as the new palette doen't sit at all well with me. Any ideas anyone? The manual states that if you double-click on a colour it should open the colour editor but it doesn't.....

It turns out that if you assign the right button to 'Open Tools and Shortcut Menu', it works in the piano roll. It's obviously a bug which should get ironed out.
The other thing that's driving me nuts though is that when I change tools in the main window, the pointer still appears like an arrow, even though its function has changed. When I pass it over a region, it usually changes to to the correct icon - but not always! Aarghhh I'm going back to Pro 9 for now......

My main page has disapeared I can only see the piano roll editor

In one of my songs in Logic Pro X only the piano roll is visible - I cant see the main page or access any other editors

Great - thank you!

LP8 - Are there q-strength options in the piano roll editor?

Hey Everybody-
Can you quantize single notes using the q-strength, etc., functions that are available in the inspector? I like to quantize individual notes in the piano editor and would love to have that option.
I looked in the manual and ran a search on this forum and didn't see anything. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom

Yes. Press Opt + R for the floating Region Inspector. There you have the same things as in the Inspector in the Arrange.

In Piano Roll, double click on note opens List editor. CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

While editing in the Piano Roll Editor, double clicking on a note opens up the List Editor.
CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

I realize that it is my way of working that causes the editor to open up. When I work fast and with the zoom out a little to far, some times when trying to move a note it fails to move and when I try to move it again the List Editor opens up. I am very set in my ways after 20 years of non linear and 30 years of midi programming. I was just surprised that this is not a preference.
I really don't want to slow down my double click settings. I like them fast to avoid this very thing, false double clicking. Maybe I'll try making them faster.
Does anyone know where the support Feedback is located? I would love to request another pref be added.

The only version(s) that showed both previously recorded notes and new ones as they were played was the last few PC versions of Logic.
pancenter-
I wonder why they did away with that...it's very helpful to be able to see that....

How to edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

When i try to open piano roll it is stuck on the same track regardless of whether another track is selected. I cannot elect a new synt track and pull up in piano roll

When i try to use piano roll it always goes back to a single track. Even if I select another track or adda new blank track it will not open.
Also if I add notes to the track that opens I cannot hear them when i place them on piano roll

There's a little icon in the top left corner of the piano roll window that looks like a pair of chain links. If that is selected (goes yellow) then the piano roll editor is linked to the arrange page region selection(s). Sounds like what you want.
It's really useful sometimes to be able to unlink, so that you can keep one piano roll open (to watch the timing of the notes, for example) and not haver it change each time you do something in the arrange page.
Also, next to it is a little man running icon. If that is selected, the piano roll will chase the cursor. If not selected, it won't. Also useful sometimes.
Hope that helps

Cant get software loop to show in piano roll to edit

Hey
               Ok creating a song and made a software loop and i want to loop it straight through it stops at 49 at the original color so I can see it in the piano roll now that i looped and dragged it to 120 its a different shade of color and i cant see it in the piano roll. So i can edit this one off beat snare and kick,
             I tried dragging regions / copy and paste but it not keeping the same tempo so i revert or undo to last saved or last undo
               Ok the question........ how do i get the whole region to be the same color so it will show in the piano roll editor with no splits or differnet region I know merge but whet do I do ..... its probably simple as **** but I am new and trying here

Drag your Project End Marker to the right - now it is at 49.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=7%26sec tion=8%26tasks=true
To define a project’s end point
Do one of the following:
Drag the project end marker in the Bar ruler to the left or right.
Set the value in the Transport bar’s numerical Project End display (by click-dragging or double-clicking the value).
Note: If your Transport bar does not include the Project End display, Control-click it and choose Customize Transport Bar in the shortcut menu. Select the Tempo/Project End checkbox in the Customize Transport Bar pane.

Enter triplet values in piano roll... and volume question

How can I get the piano roll grid view to temporarily change to subdivisions of 3 per per beat (instead of 4) in a 4/4 piece so I can align triplets?
Also, how do I change the volume of a single note in the piano roll editor?
TIA

1. In the transport bar, where you see the time signature (default 4/4), just below that is the beat subdivision. You can click on it and drag up or down to change the value. A value of 12 will subdivide a beat into thirds.
2. You can't really change the volume of a note, per se, since volume is a MIDI parameter that doesn't apply to single notes, but rather as continuous data. You can, however, change the velocity of notes, which will affect the volume of the note if the note's velocity is programmed for volume change. To do this, choose the Velocity tool (escape, then 9) and click the note and drag up or down.

Problems with Dedicated Piano Roll Screenset in 8.01 update

Anyone else having this issue?
If you have a dedicated piano roll screenset, does it show you the currently selected MIDI region from the arrange page?
Since updating to 8.01, this has stopped functioning for me. If I click the chain link icon off, and then back on, it snaps to show the selected MIDI region, whereas it used to follow automatically, like normal. So in other words, I used to select a MID region from the arrange page, hit my screenset number, and I would be looking at the MIDI data for that region. It no longer is doing that.
It shows the SAME midi region, regardless of which one is selected on the arrange page.
If I open the Piano Roll Editor from the tab at the bottom of the Arrange page (or open it hitting the key command "P"), it shows whatever MIDI region is selected, as expected.
It's just the dedicated screenset of the Piano Roll Editor that is not showing/updating the selected content/region.
Anyone else experiencing this?

It's interesting that one of my tests of whether I think Logic is moving in a positive direction, is after using a new major version for a few months, I go back to the old version, to see what my general impression is.
After using 7, and running 6, I was shocked at quite how horribly ugly LP6 was.
After running 8, I go back to 7 (I've tried this a few times) and every time I see my LP7 autoload it just feels so much better.
I don't like the lightened look, the ugly parameter boxes, and the horrible list windows (event list etc).
I'm going with it to stay current, and I'm hopping Apple are going to deliver on the Logic promise sometime during LP8. I hope they do, but if they don't, then I will probably stick with what I have, and start to change my opinion about my "Logic forever" position since, well, Logic 1.x, and slowly start thinking about falling from my Logic tree.
Apple have done amazing things with FCP, and it took time, so I am really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Logic is so brilliant in many ways.

Chaning pitch in piano roll like in Gragaband and Akai MPC

The other day I was fiddling around with Garaband on my buddies new Macbook and I found a cool feature which I thought the MPC was the only that has it.
If you select a MIDI note in the piano roll in GB, you can change the pitch of that note and it tunes the sample it triggers (the mIDI note remains at the original place, however). How do I do this in Logic?? This is an excellent thing if you fi are programming a snare roll or if you trigger different samples in 1 sampler and can't change pitch other than automating the sampler's tuning parameter.
I hope I make sense? This is hard to explain in a foreign language.

sorry, but just wanna cover this...say if im programming a drum beat in the piano roll. i dont like to use mouse or trackpad at all.
i would record a pattern with caps lock on-screen keyboard, i tend to copy and paste certain notes via mouse drag to select and copy and drag to copy too. but i guess i can select multipe notes with modifiers..?...and copy and paste too, by moving the song position line via the transport display figure...right....
(theres no avoiding mouse/trackpad is there?)
then moving and shifting notes is ok...
any other cool shortcuts for building a drum pattern in piano roll editor, for someone who doesnt wanna use mouse or trackpad?

How to enable note names in piano roll in Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I am trying to understand how to enable the note names in the piano roll editor, according to some posts it should works creating a mapped instrument, I follow up each step but for me this solution does not work.
Basically I have created a software instrument with Drum Kit and I would like to see the names of each component of the drum when I am editing(for example snare, kick, toms HH etc), currently I only can see values as C4, C3, C2 etc
I appreciate your help, thanks in advanced.

Well it is a shame because the "Piano Roll" is a good and quickly tool for edit drums and midi software. I have used Cubase, ProTools, Reaper and they have notes names options available, I do not understand why Apple did not think in that option as well.
By the way today I have practiced with "Step Editor" option, it is interesting option but it is not better than edit with "Piano Roll".
I hope that Apple think in this little option but great tool for the next release.
Thanks Ericksimon.
PD: If anyone have another idea to edit drums quickly with Logic Pro X I appreciate the recommendation.
