Chapter 8 Basic Operations 161
Here are some of the possible methods. You can type in:
 Decimals: 1, 01, 2, 3, 4, 127, …
 Hexadecimals: $1, $01, $2, $3, $A, $0A, $7F
 Notes: “C3”, “C#3”, “Cb3”, “C##2” (equivalent to D2), “Dbb2” (equivalent to C2). If you
double-click on the note “E3”, you can enter a decimal value such as “64” or a hex
value of “$40” instead of the note name.
 ASCII Code: You can also input numbers as ASCII code: just place a ` or " in front of
the selected key, and the ASCII code will be input as a number.
As an example: "! results in a value of 33; "a results in a value of 97.
This function is particularly useful for entering text in SysEx strings.
Arithmetical Operations
In many parts of Logic Express, mathematical operations can also be used to change
values. As examples:
 You can subtract from the existing value by entering “–5”.
 You can sum two values by entering “38+17”.
 You can multiply two values by entering “7∗8”.
 You can divide two values by entering “80/5”.
Canceling Numerical Input
You can cancel numerical input by entering no text at all, and pressing Enter or Return.
Entering Text
You can input text names in the same way as numbers, but you only need to click once
on a name field to allow input. You can directly click on a region (or Mixer channel
strip) with the Text tool to rename it.
Any number of selected objects (such as regions) can be assigned the same name. If
the name ends with a number, this number will automatically be incremented by 1 for
each subsequent object. This allows you to quickly, and uniquely, name all of the
regions on a track, for example.
Note: To turn off automatic numbering, place a space after the number at the end of
the name you type in. All selected objects will then end with the same number. This
may be useful for identifying all main vocal regions recorded in another session, for
example (rename to “mainvox 030707”, followed by the space, to identify the regions by
date).
