Set the articulation IDs in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro for iPad

A MIDI note in Logic Pro for iPad can embed an articulation ID, which is a number from 1–255, or you can set the articulation ID to off. You can program a software instrument plug-in (for example, Studio Strings) that supports articulation IDs so that individual patches representing various playing styles (for example, legato, pizzicato, or staccato) are mapped to individual articulation IDs. When the plug-in receives MIDI notes during playback, it not only reacts to the pitch and velocity, it can also switch to a specific playing style based on the articulation ID it receives from a MIDI note. For example, when the plug-in receives a note with ID 1, it switches to staccato, and when it receives a note with ID 2, it switches to pizzicato.

With the Articulation Set Editor, available in Logic Pro for Mac, you can create Articulation Sets that let you add names to articulation IDs, making mapping easier. An Articulation Set is loaded in Logic Pro for iPad when you import a Logic Pro for Mac project that uses those Articulation Sets or when you load a software instrument plug-in with an embedded Articulation Set, such as Studio Strings or Studio Horns.

By default, when you open the Articulation menu, it only shows the numbers 1–255. With an Articulation Set loaded on a track, the menu displays those articulation names instead of numbers.

Note: The Articulation Set loaded on a software instrument track is used on all MIDI regions on that track.
