Step record patterns in Step Sequencer in Logic Remote
With Step Recording, you can record both MIDI note events and automatable parameter events to a pattern region or pattern cell in sequence, similar to step input recording of MIDI events. You can step record to a pattern with the playback either running or stopped.
When step recording is active, incoming MIDI events turn on steps in sequence (one step at a time), starting from the position of the currently selected step. If a row assigned to the incoming MIDI event exists, the step on that row is turned on. If no corresponding row exists, a row assigned to that event is created, similar to the way Learn mode and Live Pattern Recording function.
For incoming note events, once the Note Off message for the last held note event is received, the next step in the row is selected. For example, if you are using a standard MIDI keyboard controller, the step is turned on when you press a key on the controller and the next step is selected when you release the key. If you press additional keys on the controller before releasing the currently held ones, the next step is not selected until you release the last held key. This makes it easier to input chord notes.
Unlike note events, MIDI CC and automation events do not move to the next step automatically. When Logic Pro detects a new incoming event, either the matching row is selected or a new one is created and then a step is turned on at the current location with the current parameter value. The value of that step continues to change as long as the parameter or CC value is manipulated, until the user selects a new step, either directly or by using the pointer to move to the next (or another) step location.
