Missing lines in Piano Roll grid

Hellow ,
In Piano roll window (Matrix editor before Logic 8 tsunami), some of the grid lines are missing after inserting , p.e. ,a 3/8 bar an going on in 4/4 bar .This is really uncomfortable .
¿Can anybody tell me how should I overcom this lack of versatility ?
Thanks in advance

I think you're probably thinking of the Hyper Draw area at the bottom of the Piano Roll. This is explained in the manual (pdf, p. 675).
You can also draw curves in the Hyper Editor (p. 679). In a comment here, I gave some simple instructions for drawing a drum roll.
edit: oops, about a minute too late!

  • 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.

  • How do I get infinite bars when zooming in on piano roll?

    When zooming in on the piano roll, the bars stop at 128th notes or something. I can add smaller values of notes, but then theres no grid to make the input accurate. Is there a setting or button within the piano roll Im missing?
    Thanks, Sverre

    No, there isn't.
    You could use the "Quantise Time" option on the track or use a groove track to align your notes automatically.

  • Why was the link button removed from the piano roll?

    Why was the LINK (chain) button removed from the piano roll? This makes Logic X useless to me as I can no longer compose or perform new lines based on previous midi performances. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    I miss that button too and just filled out the LX Feedback form (Menubar -> Logix Pro X-> Feedback) with the following text. Maybe if you guys did the same, we had a chance revive this essetial feature!!!
    thanks!

    Hi there,
    it seems as if the Link Button (Yellow chain symbol) has been removed from the piano roll for no reason. In Score View it is still there.
    I (and probably more users) absolutely NEED that Button to decouple the content of the piano roll from the selected track/region AND to use multiple piano roll windows with independent content.
    - For transscripting (Mute/Solo Audio regions while editing a Midi-Region)
    - For arranging. Edit 2 different midi regions both in separate Piano Roll windows
    - For recording. "Reading" Drum-Patterns while recording the Bass e.g.
    Please bring that button back or explain why it was removed
    Best regards,

  • Subdivisions in Piano Roll

    Hey all. I'm a little new to logic 8 but I'm having a problem.
    The **** grid in logic 8 piano roll seems to be stuck on subdividing notes into triplet sets. No matter what I do to change to division of the quantizing, it's still the same.
    In Logic 7, when you changed the quantizing to say 1/32-note, it would reflect that in the grid in the background, but nothing changes when I do this.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for any help.

    Check your Transport window (underneath the time signature), I suppose you have changed the grid to triplets in there .

  • Fixed note length in piano roll

    Hello ,is there any way to draw notes with a fixed length in the piano roll rather than using the last edited note's length?
    In other words,i want the default note length not to automatically change every time i draw/edit a new note (with a different length).
    Im quite sure this cannot be done, but i thought i should ask to confirm...
    I also feel i want to say my opinion on that,you dont have to read it or answer back to it:
    I find this way of editing very confusing and counter creative ,it sure adds extra thinking proccess.While you are drawing notes it
    constantly keeps your mind away from your melody line since in every step, you have to stop some milliseconds and think
    "which side should i drag to resize now given the new facts left or right?"....
    And extra (unnecessary) thinking always acts against creativity.
    I think it seems very logical the way i said that and that objectively, irrelevant to any personal preferences, this way of editing
    ,even if i doesnt annoy everyone ,it is indeed counter creative.
    Especcially if one really does a lot of editing rather than recording.
    I wish there was an option for that in the preferences, maybe something very simple like a checkbox "Automaticaly define default note" to uncheck.
    Im sure it would be only a few hours of programming for the developers to do something like that, but it would be such a saver for people
    who edit a lot or for people coming from other DAWS, or for anyone that simply cant get used to it because they feel it anti-intuitive / unatural...
    There...i shared my thoughts, at least i feel a better know...!
    (However if you read my opinion i d like to hear what other people (that do a lot of editing) feel )

    You can use the transform tool but it's "after the fact". Simply rubberband a group of notes to be changed and use the Transform tool under the piano roll's "function" menu. Choose "Fixed Note Length" then set the parameter box to the value you need.
    There's also this workaround:  Find a note of the correct length already in the sequence or create temporary notes of the correct length. I'm assuming by "draw" you mean using the pencil tool. Move the pencil over the *center of note with the length you need, left mouse click and hold for a second, until the pencil turns into a hand, you will now have the length set for drawing new notes. The pencil tool is still selected so you don't have any additional selections to make.
    Yes, it's a hassle, but once you get used to it you will find it's faster than what you've been doing.
    *slight correction: when moving the pencil tool over the *center of a note, it will change into the pointer arrow, left click and hold and it will change into the hand, move the pointer away and it goes back to the pencil.

  • Displaying multiple midi regions in piano roll

    I have overdubbed some midi tracks and would like to view and edit them in one window of the piano roll.
    The manual says "Ensure that View > Show Selected Regions Only is switched off."
    Well for the life of me, I cannot find any option in either view menu (arrange window or piano roll) for "Show Selected Regions Only."
    Am I missing something?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Not sure if this will help or not, but if you select all the MIDI you have, and then open piano scroll view, all the MIDI will be there. The drag is it is a litle hard identifying one from the other.
    I have two Ultrabeat tracks and selected both tracks, then opened Piano Scroll and both were there.
    Not sure if that helps or not bro but it is what I have done to address the problem

  • 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?

  • Drill down on piano roll

    Hello,
    I am missing a very important feature in Logic Pro X which is the ability to drill down in the Piano Roll. In Logic 9 (and below) I was able to select multiple midi tracks and edit them in the piano roll (this is still possible in Logic Pro X) but was able to double click on a note and show only the notes in the single track. Double clicking on the piano roll background would bring back all the notes from all the selected tracks again. Although this feature is removed I would be happy with a key command to be able to switch between single track view and all selected track view. Does anyone know whether this is possible?
    Thanks,

    Hi user8173722,
    When it comes to drills in OBIEE, you've got a few tools at your disposal:
    1) Dimension hierarchies in RPD -- This method won't work for you because these are drills on measures. Dimension hierarchies only work with dimensional data and not fact measures
    2) Navigate -- This associates reports from the same subject area on related columns. The issue you are having with this is that this method requires the field clicked on to be an RPD column which in your case is not true.
    3) Bins -- These provide pseudo drills that are only one level deep and each bucket has to be custom setup by you. This is not what you want.
    4) GO URLs -- This allows you to specify a custom filter and target report in the URL. The problem is that you'll have to turn the field in question into a text type field and not a number. If you are putting your count(*) into the measure section of the pivot table, this will cause problems.
    Out of the above methods, there are only two that are viable. 2 and 4 are the only viable solutions. Method 4 is rather difficult to code and not the most pleasant thing to support. So I recommend you go with the navigate feature.
    In order to get it to work, you'll need to add the column as a measure in your fact table in the RPD. Add a logical column and specify the Aggregate behavior to COUNT. Then bring this column into you presentation layer. Keep in mind that you cannot navigate across subject areas, so make sure both reports are coming from the same subject area.
    Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

  • How can I edit note events in Piano Roll?

    Hi, I am still using 9.1.8 and in the Piano Roll the rectangles representing note events have a line inside the rectangle and I was hoping to use the event list to get that line to extend the audible length of some long notes.
    But changing the length values in the event list seems to lengthen the note not the audible portion which I think is represemted by the line inside the rectangle.Is that true?
    Is there a way to get the audible sound to keep playing until the end of the visible note event?

    Thanks you both ErikSimon and Pancenter. The velocity can be lengthened ,Erik, by what you describe but to the line in the Piano Roll when adjusted in the event list will only lengthen the note. Sorry,hoor you are right but velocity isn't the problem-sustain length is.
    Pancenter hit the nail on the head. The sample libraries are put together appently by developers who have some strange ideas about what orchestral intruments can do in the right hands. I have played Baroque Bassoon here in Europe for 20 years and have sat next to classical flute players who can easily hold a note for the length I need. And it is no problem for them to hit it exactly in tune, but we played in tune=meantone, not everything out of tune=Equal Temperament.
    Somehow the false assupmtion that all classically trained musicians are incapale of hittng and sustaining a note in tune at the exact moment needed has becom an accepted belief. This is NOT true, the sound of E.W.Q.L. products is the Romantic 101 mantovani string culture which owes more to hollywood films than to reality.
    I now see that all I have to do is replace the whole note with two half notes,the second one muted ,and it should play as I want.
    Again thank you both for your brave an wise help.

  • Converting audio files to piano roll?

    Hi,
    I know how to do this in FruityLoops and I think I've found a way in Logic Pro X, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it in GarageBand? Essentially, my roommate and I come up with melody lines and little phrases when we're out and about. We record them with our phones, making the noises with our mouths. Usually, we then come home and have to figure out what each note is and play them on a different instrument. I was hoping there might be a way to take audio files of us mimicking instrument sounds, extract piano roll data from that, and then drop that piano roll into different tracks and to be played by different instruments. If anyone can give me some tips on how to do this in GarageBand, I'd be really grateful. I don't have a Windows PC anymore, so I need to figure out how to do it with GarageBand, or else I'll need to pick up Logic.

  • How do you get the piano roll on logic pro x to show 1/64th notes?

    On the piano roll in Logic Pro X the grid only shows like 1/16 notes. I want to be able to zoom in and have the grid at 1/64 notes.

    Transport is at the top center of the Logic window. If you click on the "/16" which I circled in red, you will get a drop down menu to change the the note length you want.
    Your transport may look different and might not have the "/16" right now. I have a custom transport displayed. "Custom" can be selected by clicking the "gear" icon on the left of the transport. Various options for what to display in the transport can be accessed by right-clicking in the transport bar and selecting "customize transport and display." The option you are looking for will be in the "LCD" section - choose "custom" and check the box for "signature division."

  • 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
