Editing Several Regions Simultaneously
If several regions are selected, the number of selected regions is displayed, in place of a
region name. If you alter any region parameter, all selected regions will be affected. If a
given parameter is set differently in the individual regions, a * appears in the Parameter
field. You can alter this parameter for all selected regions, and the value differential will
be retained (relative alteration). If you want to set all selected regions to the same
value, hold down Option while changing the value (absolute alteration).
Audio Region Parameters
Audio region parameters vary, dependent on the type of audio region selected:
basically this is broken down into Apple Loops or standard audio regions.
The Fade parameters are only available when standard audio regions are selected.
When Apple Loops (either green or blue) are added to audio tracks, the Follow Tempo
and Transposition parameters are shown.
Follow Tempo
This parameter (on by default) allows Apple Loops to follow the project tempo.
Transposition
This parameter adjusts the pitch of the Apple Loop audio region up or down by the
chosen amount.
MIDI Region Parameters
If you select a MIDI region (on a software or external MIDI track), the Region Parameter
box displays the following MIDI region specific parameters.
These parameters are also shown when a green Software Instrument Apple Loop is
added to a track routed to an instrument channel (the Apple Loop instrument is loaded
into the Instrument slot of the channel strip).
Quantize
All note events contained in the MIDI region are time corrected to the (quantize) grid
format chosen in the menu. Full details on all quantization functions available in
Logic Express are found in Chapter 19, “Quantizing MIDI Events,” on page 477.
