Next Region/Event in Piano Roll ???

Having trouble with the coupled key command of "Select Next Region/Event".
When I first press this key command while editing in a separate/floating Piano Roll window, it jumps the content of the Piano Roll window to that of the next region (per the Arrange window). Then the second (and each subsequent) time I press it, it stays on that second region and starts selecting each next note (event).
What I need is for the Piano Roll to remain on the current region I am editing and for this command to simply select the next note.
The pop-up Piano Roll seems to work this way, but I can not get this to work when using separate/floating Piano Roll windows...
Why on Earth would "select next region" and "select next event" be coupled? Or why not at least also give separated commands as well?

Hi
Confirmed.
I'm not sure that this has ever worked in the Piano Roll.

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

Region handles in piano roll-where are they?

Hey!
In Logic 9's piano roll, there were handles on either end of the regions so you could drag the region ends to make them longer or shorter.
I see no handles to do that in Logic Pro X. Where are they?
In Logic Pro X the only way I can see to lengthen or shorten a region is to do it in the Main Window. So, in piano roll I have to got to the Main Window to adjust a region. How clunky is that?!!
Is there a way to expand or contract regions in the piano roll? Anyone?
Thanks,
P.

I don't use iCloud and the last time I backed up was on September 29th to my computer, but I don't import photos or video when I backup, just music, apps, etc. And there's no other albums besides my camera roll, which only has the 29 pictures/videos.

How to show all regions when opening piano roll?

hey,
I want to be able to see all events in all regions when opening (not toggling!) a piano roll. I just switched from version 5 (yes, 5) to 9. It used to be like this: you deselect all regions and then just open the matrix editor (that's how the piano roll was called in ancient times).
If I do this in 9, the piano roll shows nothing. If I select all regions and open the PR, it shows only one. If I select one region, open the PR and then go back to the arrange window and select all regions it does show all info in the PR but this is a bit of a not-very-efficient work around.
Anyone any idea?

double click a region, then highlight the ARRANGE window and type command + a. It is essential to choose all regions this way not as you mentioned by choosing all by hand. Remember that when you doubleclick a region Logic highlights the PIANOROLL. So you have to highlight the arrange window by clicking on the bar just below the main tools or in other words, just above the ruler (I don't know the exaqct word for it but I hope you know what I mean.

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.

Write note with Slide/Hammer on/Pull of in Piano Roll

How can I write the next midi event in Piano Roll or other tools of Logic Pro X?:
        - Slide
        - Hammer on
        - Pull of, etc.
Please, my question is for use just the computer, not external tools (keyboards).
Thanks,
Daniel

One method is to use the event list....

..and create midi notes or CCs in there depending on how your plugin/library works....

Copy and Paste Disabled in Piano Roll

HI All - this is probably something very basic, but I can't do a simple 'copy and paste' in the piano roll view of MIDI events. If I select a group of events on a drum track and then select Copy, the Paste command is greyed out, i.e. the events are not being copied to the Clipboard. I don't know what setting or preference I could have changed that makes such a basic functionality unavailable. Any tips?

Hey Thanks Bob, and, aw shucks, that is so obvious now you mention it. I think it was flashback to my original sequencing software, in which you would do all your edits in the Piano roll view, and I was subconsciously remembering that.
??? Copy and Paste works perfectly in the Piano Roll editing.... unless you're using the new standard (somewhat lame) single screen editing function in early versions of Logic 9... it's a shame they made this the default behavior.
Next time you wish to have all the the editing functions in the Piano Roll (formerly Matrix) editor hold down the Option key when Dbl clicking on a MIDI region. The Piano Roll will open in a floating window that has full editing functions...
Upgrade to 9.1.3 as this has been fixed, why are you using older versions of the program? You have Intel machines, right?

Why do the piano roll and event editor act differently?

In Logic Studio 9, this wasn't the case, but there are numerous examples now where editing MIDI in the event view acts right, and editing the same MIDI content in the piano roll acts wrong. It's extremely frustrating! Personally, I think who ever modified the behavior of the Piano Roll in Logic 10 should be fired on the spot. I'd downgrade to 9 in a heartbeat if it was still available in the App Store.
Two examples off the top of my head:
- Selecting a MIDI note in the event viewer selects ONLY the note and not all the MIDI objects that fall within the time span of that note. This is not the case in the piano roll as it assumes that when you select a note, you want *more* than just the note you're clicking on. This is a stupid assumption and is new in 10.
- Dragging midi notes in the piano roll randomly deletes all non-note events and changes the action from "move" to "copy" where the only workaround when the piano roll gets stuck in this state is to do the same action in the event viewer.
Please rollback changes made to the piano roll in 10 back to what 9 was as I've wasted countless hours of my life trying to work around these flubs!

Try making a blank project with no settings at all and just add a bass from whatever plugin. Make sure there are no plugins at all on the track (not just muted but removed). Then try again.
I believe palying on the pianoroll with the mouse plays at 127 velocity but I ain´t sure. How about the output? Does it clip/go red? Then it will disort.

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

Paste notes in Piano Roll changes Region size

Hi,
When I copy/paste a note in the piano roll, using cmd+C, cmd+V, it also changes the Region size. Which is not convenient at all.
When I do it with alt+mouse, it works perfectly fine. But I work mainly with keyboard commands.
Also, sometimes it even creates a new region on its own.
I am on LogicPro X 10.0.1, OS X 10.8.4, iMac 2.5 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM.
I saw similar questions already, but no answer yet.
Thank you by advance

You shouldn't have an issue...doing what you are doing.. and I cannot recreate it here..
But an alternative would be to simply copy the Region itself in the Arrange window....
Hold Down the Option key and drag region using mouse or trackpad....

In Piano Roll: no "Show Selected Regions Only" View menu item !!

I need to use this function, and it's not there!
The Manual says it should be!
Any one else have this problem, or know the answer?
Thanks!

Why don´t you just select the Region in the Arrange and then open the Piano Roll? If you select two Midi regions the content of both will be displayed...

View two midi events on the piano roll

Hi, my issue is a follows:
Take two midi events on two separate channels (eg kick on inst 1 channel 1 and snare on inst 2 channel 2) - when highlighting both strips in the arrange, then opening the piano roll (cmd+6), I used to be able to view both. But in logic 9 only one of them can be viewed.
I can view both on the piano roll on the arrange, but that's less desirable (takes away space on my arrange screen).
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Note: If you cannot find any of the files mentioned in this tip,you didn't follow the instructions exactly as written

Groove template from MIDI region inspector copy to piano roll

How do you do this? in logic 9, it just happened. In logic X, I can make as many groove templates from midi regions as I like in the inspector, but how do I get them to show up in piano roll so that I can make apply them in varying dgrees to other regions?
I asked this question a few months ago and no-one responded. Am i the only one who can't figure this out?

Select Audio Region
Click on the Show Flex Mode button
Select Flex mode from drop down selector in the track header..... (Change from Auto) and Quantize functionality in Region Inspector will reappear.

Why when I move a midi event in the piano roll the film does not move with this event?

LOGIC X 10.0.3. Why when I move a midi event in the piano roll the film does not move with this event?

Film? Have you dropped a movie file into your Logic project as well? You need to be a little clearer.
