Zooming Tracks With Key Commands
You can assign, and use, the following key commands to zoom tracks:
 Individual Track Zoom In and Individual Track Zoom Out: Increases or decreases the
“individual track zoom” factor of the selected track by one.
 Toggle Individual Track Zoom: Switches the selected track between its individual
zoom level and the window zoom level. This would be useful for zooming in on a
track to edit its automation data. After editing, use the Toggle Individual Track Zoom
key command to return to the original zoom level.
 Individual Track Zoom Reset: Resets the selected track to the window zoom level.
 Individual Track Zoom Reset for All Tracks: Resets all zoomed tracks to the window
zoom level.
Assigning Track Icons
Logic Express offers high resolution, scalable (from 128 x 128 pixels downwards), and
user-definable track icons.
To assign an icon to a track:
m Click-hold on an existing track icon in the track header or in the Track Parameter box,
and choose the desired icon from the menu.
Note: The Track Icons checkbox must be turned on in the Track Header Configuration
dialog for icons to be visible. Activate the Allow Large Icons checkbox to display large
track icons. Large icons are automatically resized and repositioned when tracks are
zoomed.
Creating Your Own Icons
You can create your own icons for tracks. User created icons are saved in the following
folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons.
These icons must have the following attributes:
 128 x 128 pixels in size
 An alpha channel for transparency
 Must be saved in the portable network graphics format (with the .png suffix)
 Must be given a file name that starts with a three-digit number
