Editing and Creating Events

Full details on the use of each editor are found in the Logic user manual. For now, revisit the sections on Selecting Regions” on page 23, and Editing Regions” on page 38. All of the techniques for region selection and editing (except looping) also apply to event selection and editing.

Tip: Don’t forget the shortcut menu, accessed with a right-click. Many “common” editing commands (also available in the Arrange and other windows) are found here, plus a few that are specific to the Piano Roll Editor.

Experiment with the Piano Roll Editor, where MIDI note events are represented much like Arrange window regions—as horizontal beams. The major difference is that moving a note event vertically—to another note’s lane—will alter its pitch.

A few techniques that were not covered in the region editing section—which you may find useful for event editing—are discussed below.

To create new note events in the Piano Roll Editor:

mChoose the Pencil tool, and click at the desired position (and pitch—aligned with the keyboard at the left).

You can also use this technique in the Event List and Score Editor windows, but it is easiest in the Piano Roll Editor.

To change the velocity of a note in the Piano Roll Editor:

mChoose the Velocity tool, and click-drag vertically on the desired note.

The note color (and length of the line through the center of the note) will change as the velocity changes.

This technique also works on multiple selected notes, with the relative velocity values of each note (in relation to each other) being retained.

8 specifications

The Apple iPhone 8, introduced in September 2017, marked a significant evolution in the company's smartphone lineup, bridging the design elements of the past with cutting-edge technology. The iPhone 8 brought several notable features and advancements that enhanced user experience and performance.

One of the most striking design elements of the iPhone 8 is its glass back, a departure from the aluminum unibody design of its predecessors. This transition not only provided a fresh aesthetic appeal but also enabled wireless charging, allowing users to power their devices conveniently without the need for cables. The iPhone 8 supports Qi wireless charging standards, making it compatible with a wide array of wireless charging pads.

Under the hood, the iPhone 8 is powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip, which features a six-core CPU. This powerful processor significantly improved the iPhone's speed and efficiency when compared to previous models. The A11 Bionic was designed for machine learning applications and includes a dedicated neural engine, allowing for better performance in tasks such as image recognition and augmented reality experiences.

The display of the iPhone 8 is a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, boasting True Tone technology, which adjusts the screen's white balance based on the ambient light. This feature not only enhances color accuracy but also improves comfort for users by reducing eye strain in various lighting conditions. With a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, the display delivers sharp and vibrant visuals.

Camera capabilities on the iPhone 8 also received significant upgrades. The rear 12-megapixel camera features optical image stabilization, providing clearer photos and smoother video recording, even in low light conditions. The introduction of new color filters and a larger sensor allowed for improved photo quality. The front-facing 7-megapixel camera supports 1080p HD video recording and features advanced portrait mode, offering users new ways to create professional-quality selfies.

Another important aspect of the iPhone 8 is its robust security features. The device continued to use Touch ID for biometric authentication, ensuring that users' data remained secure. Additionally, the iPhone 8 was water and dust resistant, rated IP67, which added an extra layer of durability.

In summary, the Apple iPhone 8 successfully combined innovative technology with timeless design. Its wireless charging, powerful A11 Bionic chip, enhanced camera features, and sturdy build quality made it a compelling choice for consumers looking to experience the best of Apple’s engineering prowess.
