Automate cells in Live Loops in Logic Pro for iPad
Automation can also be created in cells when you work in the Live Loops grid. Cells are containers that include one or more regions of any of the four region types (audio region, MIDI region, Step Sequencer pattern region, or Session Player region). Adding and editing automation in cells is technically region automation for the region contained in the cell.
Selecting a cell and opening the Editors area shows the Cell Editor, which can have four different interfaces depending on the region type. It can be an Audio Editor, a Piano Roll Editor, a Step Sequencer, or a Session Player Editor, each one with some cell-specific controls. The Cell Editor also has the Automation View button to view and edit region automation.
Note: A cell that contains region automation shows the automation symbol 
in the lower-right corner of the cell (visible when zoomed in).
Add cell automation
In the Tracks area menu bar, tap the Grid View button
.Tap the Edit button
in the Live Loops menu bar, then tap a cell to select it.Tap the Editors button
in the middle of the view control bar to open the Cell Editor.The Cell Editor shows the user interface of the editor related to the region type. For example, if the cell contains a MIDI region, the Cell Editor will show the Piano Roll Editor.
Tap the Automation View button
in the Editors area.The Cell Editor doesn’t have an Automation View button if it shows a pattern region.
Perform any of the graphical automation editing tasks.
Note: You can also write region automation in real time when you record to Live Loops cells.
