Note events in Logic Pro for Mac
Note events are used to trigger (play) software instruments and external MIDI sound modules or keyboards. You can create note events and other types of MIDI events in the Event List. For more information, see Create events in the Logic Pro Event List.
Note event parameters
Ch(annel): MIDI channel of a note from 1 to 16.
Num(ber): MIDI note number (or pitch). The range is from C −2 (note #0) to G8 (note #127). Middle C is note #60 (known as C3 in MIDI terminology). On some keyboards and synthesizer modules (notably those made by Korg and Roland), the note range is from C −1 (note #0) to G9 (#127). Middle C is called C4 on such devices. You can use the Display Middle C As pop-up menu in the Logic Pro > Settings > Display pane to alter the display to match your device.
Val(ue): Velocity of a note from 1 to 127. The zero value (0) acts as a note off message and cannot be used.
Note: The format of displayed values for note velocity and release velocity can be changed in the Display MIDI Data As pop-up menu. See General View settings.
Length/Info: Length of the note. Although MIDI can transfer only note on or note off messages, Logic Pro stores the position and length of all notes, which makes them easier to access musically. The note off message is generated automatically during playback.
If the edited MIDI region is played through a mapped instrument, the names defined for each individual note appear in the Status column. A small note symbol to the left of each name aids in identifying these named events as note events.
View and change note release velocity data
You can view and edit the release velocity of a note event in the Status column when the Additional Info button is on.
In Logic Pro, click the Additional Info button (only available in Filter mode).
