Logic Pro Expert - Remote from London UK

20th March 2025

This afternoon I connected with a composer in Suffolk, England with a large collection of hardware synthesisers in their home studio. They are using Logic Pro on an Intel Mac and the system is running smoothly. Last week I solved a problem for them that involved the arpeggiated data coming from a Moog Muse and how it is recorded in Logic Pro and then transmitted back to the Muse.

This week, my client and I connected again to answer some questions about advanced features in Logic Pro.

How do I fix the length of MIDI notes I’ve recorded in Logic Pro?

I explained to my client how to do this using the Functions Menu inside Logic Pro’s Piano Roll Editor

How do I edit modulation data recorded into Logic Pro?

I showed my client that there were a number of ways to edit modulation data (and any other CC information sent from his synths) but the simplest method that I would use would be to use the lower lane of the Piano Roll editor. I showed my client how to find this and the various tools that were available for MIDI CC editing.

Is it possible to make the patches on my synths change automatically when I load a Logic Pro project?

I showed my client how it is possible to set bank and program information inside Logic’s External MIDI instrument plug-in. My client found this very helpful as he would no longer need to manually set ten patch changes on his synths when he changed which song he is working on.
