114 Chapter 5 Navigating Your Project
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:
1 Open the MIDI project settings by doing one of the following:
 Choose File > Project Settings > MIDI (or use the corresponding key command).
 Click the Settings Toolbar button, then choose MIDI.
2 Click the Chase tab, then turn on the checkboxes of all events the Chase Events
function should look for before the playback start point. You can choose from:
 Notes: Any notes due to start playing at the playback start point.
 Sustained: Any notes that are still playing at playback start point—due to a sustain
pedal event.
 In “No Transpose” Instrument Channel Strips: Instrument channel strips (particularly
drums) can be assigned No Transpose status in the Inspector. This is a playback
parameter, which would be ignored if the region containing the instrument notes
was started mid-way through.
 Program Change: Any program changes in regions that fall across the playback start
point will be sent, when this checkbox is turned on.
 Pitch-bend: Pitch bend events that immediately precede the playback start point will
be sent.
 Control changes 0–15, 64–71, All Other: Click to search for continuous controllers 0 to
15, continuous switch controllers 64 to 71, or all other controllers.
 Aftertouch: Click to look for monophonic (channel) aftertouch messages.
 Polyphonic Aftertouch: Turn on to scan for polyphonic aftertouch messages.
