Logic
Using the
Chase Events Function
Using the Chase Events Function
If you start playback in the middle of a project, some
events might not be heard (such as notes, sustain pedal
events, and pitch bend events that start before the point
where playback begins). Using the Chase Events function, you
can have Logic Express analyze the project and include some
or all of these events when the project plays back.
To set up the Chase Events function
-
Open the MIDI project settings by doing one of
the following:
-
Choose File > Project Settings > MIDI (or
use the Open MIDI Project Settings key
command).
-
Click the Settings button in the Arrange
toolbar, then choose MIDI.
-
Click the Chase tab, then select the checkboxes
of all events that the Chase Events function
should look for before the playback start point.
Chase Settings
If you start playback in the middle of a project, some
events might not be heard (such as notes, sustain pedal
events, and pitch bend events that start before the point
where playback begins). Using the Chase Events function, you
can have Logic Express analyze the project and include some
or all of these events when the project plays back.
The Chase MIDI project settings pane offers the following
checkboxes that determine which event types are chased:
-
Notes checkbox: Any
notes due to start playing at the
playback start point.
-
Notes: Sustained
checkbox: Any
notes that are still playing at playback
start point (due to a sustain pedal
event).
-
Notes: In “No
Transpose” Instrument Channel Strips
checkbox: Instrument
channel strips (particularly drums) can
be assigned No Transpose status in the
Inspector. This is a playback parameter
that is ignored if the region containing
the instrument notes is started midway
through.
-
Program Change
checkbox: Any
program changes in regions that fall
across the playback start point will be
sent.
-
Pitch Bend
checkbox: Pitch
bend events that immediately precede the
playback start point will be sent.
-
Control Changes,
0-15, 64-71, and All Other checkboxes: Select
to search for continuous controllers 0
to 15, continuous switch controllers 64
to 71, or all other controllers.
-
Aftertouch
checkbox: Looks
for monophonic (channel) aftertouch
messages.
-
Polyphonic
Aftertouch checkbox: Scans
for polyphonic aftertouch messages.
-
System Exclusive
checkbox: The
most recent SysEx message before the
playback start point is transmitted.
-
Text Meta Events
checkbox: The
most recent Text Meta Event message
before the playback start point is
transmitted.
-
“Chase separate
channels in ‘All Channels’ instruments”
checkbox: Multi-instruments
(found in the Environment) have a global
channel, and can have up to 16 MIDI
sub-channels. Select this option to scan
for events on each MIDI sub-channel,
rather than the global multi-instrument
channel.
-
“Chase on Cycle
Jump” checkbox: Scans
for, and sends, all event types if the
cycle start and end points fall across
regions.
-
Chase on Cycle
Jump: Notes checkbox: Limits
cycle jump scan to note events.
-
“Send full MIDI
reset before chasing” checkbox: Sends
a MIDI reset message before chasing,
ensuring that all MIDI devices being
triggered are set to their defaults.
