Meta events in Logic Pro
Meta events are control messages that are specific to Logic Pro. They are used to
automate certain functions, and to organize and arrange Score Editor elements (particular
notation symbols and formatting) that can’t be represented by MIDI events.
The value in the Number column determines the meta event function, and the value in the
Value column determines the value that is sent. The name of the meta event function that
corresponds to the value in the Number column appears in the Length/Info column.
You should only ever insert and edit the following column values in the Event List:
Ch(annel): MIDI channel of an event from 1 to 16.
Num=47 (Send Byte to MIDI): This sends the track instrument any byte value (Val)
between 0 and 255 ($00-$FF). For example,if you send 246 as the byte, this is
equivalent to a MIDI tuning request message. The display shows Send Byte $F6. Use
this meta event only if you know what you’re doing—if you don’t, your sound modules
and synths may start to behave very oddly.
Num=48 (Switch Fader): This sends MIDI events to a particular output number (Val) on
a cable switcher. You first need to connect a cable between a track instrument and the
cable switcher in question. For details about cable switchers, see Cable switchers in the
Logic Pro Environment.
Num=49 (Go to screenset): This event selects a screenset. Val determines the
screenset number. For details about screensets, see Create and recall screensets in
Logic Pro.
Num=50 (Project Select): This event switches projects on a MIDI data filer or player.
Val determines the stored project number.
Num=51 (Go to Marker): When this event is sent, playback jumps to another marker.
Val determines the marker number. For details about markers, see Logic Pro markers
overview.
Num=52: This meta event stops playback.
Meta events can also be generated by fader objects in the Environment. See Overview of
the Environment in Logic Pro.
