Split and join regions in Logic Pro for iPad
You can split a region in the Tracks area, and use the segments of the region in different places in the project. Splitting a region can produce different results, depending on the region type:
MIDI regions: Any MIDI notes at the split point are shortened to that point. If you subsequently lengthen the region to the left, the notes regain their full length (duration).
Note: When you split a MIDI region at a point where one or more MIDI notes exist, an Overlapping Notes dialog opens, asking whether you want to keep, shorten, or split the notes.
Audio regions: On any region segments following the first (initial) one, a decimal and a sequential number are added to the end of the region name.
Session Player region: Splitting a Session Player region might change the pattern, depending on the Fills setting. After splitting, settings for the region segments can be edited independently in the Session Player Editor.
Pattern regions: After splitting, each region segment plays the part of the pattern contained in that segment of the original region.
Split a region
In Logic Pro, tap the region to select it.
Tap the Split button
in the Tracks area menu bar.A Scissors tool appears in the upper area of the region.
Move the Scissors tool to the position where you want to split the region.
Swipe down with the Scissors tool.
The region is split into two regions, each with the name of the original region. On split audio regions, each segment created by splitting has a decimal and a sequential number added to the end of the region name.
You can split a region multiple times. To split a region again, move the Scissors tool to a new position on one of the region segments, then swipe down again.
Note: When you finish splitting regions, tap the Trim button in the Tracks area menu bar to avoid splitting regions unintentionally with the Scissors tool.
Split a region at the edges of the cycle area
In Logic Pro, select a region.
Tap the region, tap Split, then tap Split by Locators.
The region is split at the left and right edges of the cycle area. If the region extends beyond the cycle area in only one direction, it is split into two regions, if it extends beyond the cycle area in both directions, it is split into three regions.
Join regions
In Logic Pro, select the regions.
Tap one of the selected regions.
Tap Bounce and Join, then tap Join.
Regions being joined must be of the same type (audio, MIDI, or Session Player). Pattern regions can't be joined.
If regions are on different tracks, they are joined to a new region on the first (highest) track containing the selected region or regions. When you join audio regions on different tracks, a Mixdown dialog opens; you can use it to choose Mono or Stereo format for the mixdown.
