Chapter 1

Using Logic

This chapter summarizes Logic’s general operating functions.

But first, a quick word about this manual.

1.1 Conventions Of This Manual

Menu Functions

Menu functions are written in this font: Function.

If the text is dealing with functions which can be reached viahierarchical menus, the different menu levels are described asfollows: Menu > Menu entry > Function.

Key Commands

When a function can be operated by a key command of thesame name, you will see this symbol at the side of the text. Ifnames differ, or if a function is only available as a keycommand, its name will be printed like this: Key Command .

All Logic’s key commands can also be accessed via Midicommands (for more on this, see the section Key Commands and

Remote Control via Midi on page 1 - 40).

Options and Parameters

The options you can set from the Preferences or Song Settings,and the parameters in dialog boxes are printed like this: Param-eters.

Different parameter values are printed like this: Parametervalue .

Detailed Explanations

Sometimes, detailed explanations will be given for things which you don’t necessarilyneed to know about to understand how to use Logic. These are printed in this

smaller font.

1.2 The Mouse

Basic functionsUnless stated otherwise, the left mouse button is the one youshould use whenever “the mouse button” is mentioned.

Clicking

Place the mouse pointer on the object (button, input field, etc.)and press the mouse button once.

Double-clickingThe same as clicking on an object, but you press the mousebutton twice, in quick succession. You can set the appropriatetime-span for this in the System Controls.

Grabbing or Clicking and Holding

The same as clicking on an object, but you keep the mousebutton held down.

Moving or Dragging

Grab the object and move the mouse (keeping the mousebutton held down) to the desired position.

Mouse Input

Checkboxes

Checkboxes are square boxes which become “checked” whenyou click them to activate an option (or function). Click themagain to remove the “check” and deactivate the option.

Pull-down Menus

Pull-down menus open when you grab certain input fields orbuttons. You choose a command by moving the mouse onto thedesired item. If you want to choose an item which is outside thevisible section,

• move the mouse over the top or bottom edge of the menu;the further you move it, the faster you will scroll through themenu.

•Now click using the right mouse button. You can then let goof both mouse buttons.

Mouse as Slider

You can set practically all the numerical parameters, (even notevalues or names) by grabbing the parameter value and movingthe mouse up or down. If the parameter is made up of severalseparate numbers (e.g. song position), you can adjust eachnumber individually.

Using the Mouse for In/Decrementing

All the parameter values which can be set using the mouse as aslider may also be increased or decreased in single units byclicking on the top or bottom half of the value with the left orright mouse buttons while holding down the A key.

Numerical Input

Double-clicking on a numerical parameter value opens aninput field. The previous value appears pre-selected, (i.e. high-lighted) to allow it to be overwritten by a new entry. You canalso use the mouse to make a partial selection in an input fieldso that only the highlighted part is overwritten (for more onthis, see the section Numerical Value Input on page 10 - 6). Aslong as the input field is open, all the keys may be used forinputting data only, and may not be used for key commands

(the exceptions are the main menu functions).

… by arithmetic

At any time, you can enter numbers by typing in an arithmeti-cal operation, e.g. “+2” or “-5”, which then simply changes thecurrent value by that amount.

… as ASCII-symbols

You can also input numbers as ASCII symbols: just put a ̀ or " infront of it, and the ASCII code will be input as a number. Forexample:

"! gives 33"a gives 97

This function is particularly useful for entering text in SysExstrings.

Text Input

You input text names in the same way as numbers, but you onlyhave to click the name fields once to allow input.

Numbered Names

As you might expect, you can give any number of selectedobjects the same name. If the name ends in a number, thenumber will automatically be incremented by 1 for each object.

This allows you to name all the sequences on one track, or all

the faders in the Environment quickly.

Disabling automatic numbering

To turn off the automatic numbering, place a space after thenumber at the end of the name. All the selected objects willthen end in the same number.

Tools and the Toolbox

Logic allows recorded data to be handled graphically. Thismeans that you don’t have to carry out operations by inputtingcommands via number tables, but rather by manipulatinggraphic “objects”.

When editing objects graphically, you always have two toolsavailable at the mouse pointer position: one is already active,the other is activated by the right mouse button.

You change the currently active tool by clicking on the toolbox.The mouse pointer then adopts the shape of the tool you clickon, so that you can tell what its function is by looking at thesymbol: the Eraser is used for deleting, the scissors for cuttingand the glue tool for merging objects. To assign a tool to theright mouse button, click on the desired tool in the Toolbox,with the right mouse button.

Below is a diagram of an artificial toolbox containing all Logic’s

tools. Since you don’t need all the tools in all the windows, the


38/545

toolboxes in the various windows will contain an appropriate

selection of the tools displayed here.

Effective Range of the Tools• Tools are effective only in the working area of the window

they were selected from (you can define individual tools foreach opened window).

• A tool basically affects the objects you click on. If the clickedobject is already selected, the tool operates on all otherselected objects, as well.

Hiding/Showing the Toolbox

The Toolbox can be hidden in the Arrange and Score Editorwindows to save space, which can be very helpful if you onlyhave a small monitor. The function is View > Hide/Show Tool-box.

Opening the Toolbox at the Mouse Position

Use Show Tools (default:™) to open a toolbox at the mouseposition.

Selecting Tools

You select the tool you want to use by clicking on it in the tool-box (or clicking while holding down the right mouse button forthe alternate tool).

If a toolbox is opened at the mouse position you can also useone of the number keys to choose a tool at the correspondingposition. The tools are always numbered from left to right andtop to bottom. Press the Show Tools key again to switch to thepointer, and close the box.

Moving to the Next Tool

Use Set next Tool and Set previous Tool to switch to the neighbor-ing tool in the top window.

Info Line

When operating many of the tools an info line appears at thetop edge of the window for as long as the mouse button is helddown. The info line replaces the local menus in the window.This info line provides useful feedback about the type of oper-ation you are performing.

During operations involving arrange objects, the line will looksomething like this:

From left to right, the readouts are: operation, mouse (orarrange object) position, arrange object name, track number,and length of the arrange object.


40/545

1 - 8


Emagic


During operations involving events, the line looks something

like this:

From left to right, the readouts are: operation, mouse (or event)position, event type, event Midi channel, first data byte (i.e. thepitch for notes), second data byte (i.e. velocity for notes), andfor notes: length of the note.

The Tools

Pointer

The pointer is the default tool. The mouse also takes on thisshape outside the working area when you are choosing from amenu or inputting a value. Within the working area the pointeris used for selecting (by clicking on objects), moving (by grab-bing and dragging), copying (by holding down theç key and

dragging) and editing lengths (by grabbing the bottom rightcorner and dragging). Grabbing and dragging anywhere in thebackground opens a rubber band (see page 1 - 25).

Pencil

The pencil is used to add new objects. You can also select, drag,and alter the length of objects.

Eraser

The Eraser deletes clicked objects. When you click on aselected object all of the currently selected objects are deleted(as if you had used theB key).

Text Tool

The text tool is used to name arrange objects or add text to amusical score.

Scissors

The scissors are used to split arrange objects, e.g. before copy-ing or moving individual sections (see page 3 - 17).

Glue Tool

The glue tool is the opposite of the scissors: all selected objectsare merged into a single object, which is given the name andtrack position of the first of the objects on the time axis (moreinformation can be found on page 3 - 19).

Solo Tool

Grabbing with the solo tool allows you to listen to only selectedobjects during playback. Moving the mouse vertically alsooutputs any events the cursor touches, even when thesequencer is stopped (please refer also to section Soloing

sequences on page 3 - 20).

Mute Tool

Clicking on an object with the mute tool stops it from playingand places a dot in front of its name, to indicate that it is muted.You can unmute it by clicking it again with the tool. If multipleobjects are selected, the setting of the object you’ve clicked onapplies to all selected objects (see also section Muting sequences on page 3 - 20).

Magnifying Glass

The magnifying glass allows you to zoom in on a “rubber-banded” section, right up to full window size. You revert tonormal size by clicking on the background with the tool(formore on this, see the section Zooming Selectively on page 1 - 14).You can also access this function via other tools by holdingdown theA key.

Finger

The finger is used in the Matrix Editor to alter note lengths,and, in the marker list window to jump to the markers, andposition the locators to the marker position simultaneously.

Crosshair

The Crosshair is used in the Hyper Editor to input a linearseries of parameter values.

Midi Thru toolThe Midi thru tool assigns the instrument clicked on in theEnvironment to the selected track in the Arrange window,thereby making it the active Midi Thru instrument.

Layout tool

The layout tool is used for graphically moving objects in theScore Editor to optimize the display (e.g. bars to lines: “Local

Formatting”) without altering the timing of actual Midi events.

Size Tool

The size tool is used to adjust the size of graphic elements inthe score.

Quantize Tool

You use the Q tool in the note editors to quantize notes to themost recently set value.

Velocity Tool

In the note (i.e. Matrix and Score) editors), you can use the Vtool to change the velocity of notes.

1.3 Window FunctionsThe basic functions of the Logic windows are the same as thosein other Windows application programs. However, the displayoptions in Logic’s windows are far more extensive.

In Logic, you can open different combinations of windows(even several of the same type) and adjust each one individu-ally. All open windows in a song are constantly updated. Thismeans that the windows update to follow the song position, and

any alterations that you make in one window immediatelyupdate the display of all the other windows you are workingwith. It is also easy to save different window arrangements(called “screen sets”), and recall them at the push of a button.

Working with windows

Opening windows

All Logic windows can be opened via the Window main menu.You can open as many of the same type of window as you like.

Closing windows

You close windows (A£) by clicking on the close symbol inthe top right of the windows.

Moving up one level in the display hierarchy The black box in the Menu line on the left takes you to thenext-highest level of the display (for more on this, read thesection Changing Display Levels on page 3 - 35.).

Setting window size

As is usual for Windows, you can change window size by posi-tioning the mouse over a Window edge, or corner and pulling.

Maximizing window size

The windows maximize button, in the upper right corner of thewindow, toggles the window between its maximum size, andthe size it was before you clicked on the button .

Minimizing window size

Clicking on the minimize button reduces the window to itsminimum size. Double-clicking on a minimized windowrestores it to its original size.

Selecting the Working Area

Scroll Bars

The scroll bars are situated at the right and bottom edges of awindow, if you can only see one section of the working area ineither the vertical or horizontal dimension.

You can move the visible section by clicking the arrows or grab-bing and dragging the scroll slider. There are two points ofnote:

• The size of the scroll slider in relation to the size of theentire scroll bar corresponds to the size of the visible sectionin relation to the overall size of the window,

• the visible section changes as you move the scroll slider.

X/Y Element

The X/Y element is situated in the bottom left corner of thewindow. By grabbing and dragging it you can move the horizon-tal and vertical window section, as if you were dragging bothscroll bars simultaneously.

Page Scrolling

Use the key commands Page Up, -Down, -Left and -Right to scrollone page up, down, left or right, as if you had clicked in the greyregion above / below the vertical scroll bar, or to the left / rightof the horizontal scroll bar. The key commands Page Top, -

Bottom, -Left most and - Right most take the visible section of theworking area to the top, bottom, left or right, just as if you hadgrabbed one of the scroll sliders, and moved it to one of itsextreme positions.

Scrolling to selected objects

In the Arrange, Event List, Hyper and Matrix Editors, View >Scroll to Selection allows you to move the visible windowsection to the first set of selected events. This function is avail-able as a key command from the “Various sequence editors”area. The key command works in the currently-active window.

ZoomingThe telescope-shaped zoom symbols in the top right of thewindow are used to zoom in and out of the working area display.Clicking the left, smaller side of the telescope symbol reducesthe size of the objects in the display, allowing you to see moreobjects in the same space (zoom out) and clicking the right,larger side enlarges the objects in the display (zoom in).

The telescope with the downwards-pointing arrow is for verti-

cal zooming (Zoom Vertical In/Out , default assignment:çU /çN), while the one with the sideways-pointing arrowhandles horizontal enlargement (Zoom Horizontal In/Out ,default assignmentU /N). In some windows, only one tele-scope is available, and this then handles both horizontal andvertical zooming at once.

Whike “zooming”, the top left selected object is kept in thevisible region, whenever possible.

Storing and Recalling Zoom Settings

You can store three different zoom settings for each windowusing the key commands Save as Zoom 1-3. Use Recall Zoom 1-

3 to call them back up. These commands always apply to thetop window only.

Zooming Selectively

Zooming In On One Section of the Screen

To enlarge a section of the screen to the size of the wholewindow use the magnifying glass tool to drag a “rubber band”over the section you want. You can do this more than once.

Reverting to the Previous Zoom Setting

Click on the background with the magnifying glass. This willreturn the zoom to the original setting, by backtracking through

the previous steps.

You can call up the magnifying glass functions with any othertool (apart from the pencil) by holding down theA key. Thepointer will still look like the previous tool, but if you “rubber-band” with it, it will behave like the magnifying glass.

Window Elements

Adjusting the Size of the Window Elements

If you move the mouse over the top left corner of the arrange

area the mouse pointer turns into a crosshair. By dragging it,you can now adjust the size of the bar ruler, arrange area, tracklist, and transport buttons. You can also adjust the windowelements in the Score, Hyper, and Matrix Editors using thesame method.

Concealing/Revealing the Transport Functions

Use View > Show Transport to display or remove the transportpanel buttons from the top left corner of the Hyper, Matrix or

Arrange windows. The number of buttons and indicatorsdepends on the amount of space available (see the section

Adjusting the Size of the Window Elements on page 1 - 15).

Concealing/Revealing the Parameters

The function View > Show Parameters ( Hide/Show Parameters)allows you to display or remove the entire area to the left of theArrange, Environment, and other Editor windows, which

contains the sequence parameters, instrument parameters, andthe toolbox. Hiding these parameters gives you more space forthe editor window itself.

In many windows, you can hide and/or reveal further screenelements, such as the toolbox. These display options are alwaysavailable from the View menu.

Menus

Because of Logic’s great range of functions, most of them arenot found in the main menus, but appear as local menus. These

X


48/545

1 - 16


Emagic


are always in the menu bars of the Logic windows where they

are required.

Hierarchical Menus

You use the menus (whether main or local) in the same way asin other application programs: grab the menu title, move themouse over the desired item , and release the mouse button. Inhierarchical menus, there is a right-pointing arrow after theitem. If you highlight this item, a sub-menu drops down to the

right. To choose an item from this sub-menu, move the mouseto the right, into the sub-menu, and then vertically over thedesired item. Releasing the mouse button will activate theselected function.

The following example demonstrates how hierarchical menus

will be referred to in this manual: Structure > Track > CreateNew Instrument.

Using a keyboard

You can also select the active window’s menu using theA key,and step through the menus in the usual way using theJ andK keys (or by hitting the typewriter keys for the underlinedletters) to select the one you want. You then use theM andI keys to select the menu entry you want (or carry out the menufunction immediately by hitting the key for the letter under-lined in the menu function’s name).

If you encounter a hierarchical entry (which has a triangle at the

end of the entry line), you can use theK key to access the sub-entries (theJ key closes the sub-menu again) and, again, useM and/orI to make your selection.

When you have chosen your function, hit theR key to acti-vate it.

Fixed key commands

Some menu functions can be accessed via fixed keystrokes orcombinations of keystrokes. The keys (or combinationsthereof) are shown on-screen next to the menu entries andoperate globally. For example, you can open a song withço,or copydata to the Clipboard (=Copy) viaçc.

Please note that you may assign practically any other functionto any key you like using the Key Commands window.

Menu options with “…” in their titleThree periods, like this: …, next to the menu function titleindicate that the entry does not activate a function immedi-ately, but instead opens a dialog box.

Dialog Boxes

In Dialog boxes, you can hit the thick-bordered button bypressing theR key, or by clicking with the mouse.

As per usual for Windows, you can toggle the thick border frombutton to button with theJK cursor keys.

Window Types

There are two different types of window in Logic: normalwindows and float windows. The contents of all the windowsbelonging to the current song are always updated, no matter

what the type of window.


50/545

Emagic


Normal Windows

You can open as many normal windows as you want, includingseveral of the same type. Even though the contents of all thewindows is constantly updated, only one of the windows everhas the status of being the “top”, or “active” window. This isthe window which is in the foreground when several normalwindows are overlapping.

Top or Active Window

This window can be recognized by its fully-shaded title list.The main distinguishing characteristic of this window is thatkey commands only affect this window, and not any of theothers. Window > Next Window (·) brings the next windowforward if it is fully covered up by others. Window > PreviousWindow (˜) brings the previous window back to the front.

Background Windows

Background windows are identified by the color of their titlebar. This color is determined by your “Appearance settings inWindows. You bring the window to the foreground by clickingon it, clicking on the title bar, or calling up one of the localmenu functions.

Float Windows

Float windows are so called because they always “float” in the

foreground, even above the top normal window (if there are toomany open float windows, they will inevitably cover each otherup — just click on them to bring them to the front). Floatwindows are recognizable by their narrower title bar, whichcontains no name. Mouse operations can be carried out in thesame way as in normal windows.

The most often encountered example of a float window is theTransport window.
