Effective Range of the Tools

∏Tip: You can quickly access tools by pressing the Esc key on your computer keyboard. The Tool menu will float at the current mouse pointer position. When this floating menu appears, simply click the appropriate tool (or press the corresponding keyboard key, shown to the right of the tool names) to make it active.

Effective Range of the Tools

ÂTools are only effective in the working area of the editing window that they were selected in. As the Arrange window can contain other windows, you could assign (up to) three tools for the Arrange area, three tools for the Piano Roll Editor, and three tools for the List Editor, for example. As you move the mouse pointer between these areas, the active tool (and cursor) changes.

ÂA tool basically affects the region (or event in one of the event editing windows) you click on. If multiple regions (or events) are selected, the tool will operate on all of them.

About the Tools

There are many additional tools to those outlined below—found in specific editing windows. The following are the four primary tools used during project construction and editing. Information on the Solo and Mute tools follows. Window-specific tools are discussed in the respective chapters of the Logic user manual.

Pointer

The Pointer is the default tool. The mouse cursor also takes on this shape outside the working area, when you are selecting from a menu or entering a value. Within the working (active) area, the Pointer is used for:

ÂSelecting (by clicking on regions/events).

ÂMoving (by click-holding and dragging).

ÂCopying (by holding down the Option key and dragging).
