Add notes in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro for iPad

You can tap anywhere in the working area of the Piano Roll Editor to add a new MIDI note event. The horizontal tap position determines the start time, the vertical position determines the pitch, and the note length is 1/16 by default. If you change the length of an existing note, then that is the new default length for any newly added note.

1. In the Piano Roll Editor menu bar, tap the Pencil button .

2. Do one of the following:

   • Tap anywhere in the working area.

     A new note (Velocity value 80) will be added at the tap position that defines the time position and pitch.

   • Touch and hold anywhere in the working area, then drag vertically (to determine the note pitch) and horizontally (to determine the time position).

     The horizontal movement is restricted by the boundaries of the region.

The Snap value you set in the Snap pop-menu in the Piano Roll Editor menu bar applies to placing and moving the note event horizontally.

1. In the Piano Roll Editor menu bar, tap the Brush button .

2. Touch and hold at a point in the working area that determines the timing position and pitch of the first note, then drag right or left.

   The repetition rate of added notes is based on the current Snap value set in the Snap pop-up menu of the Piano Roll Editor menu bar. The pitch of each note is determined by the vertical position of your movement, and their Velocity values are 80.

3. Release your finger to stop creating the note sequence.
