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

In Logic Pro for iPad, selecting notes in the Piano Roll Editor is similar to selecting other items in Logic Pro for iPad.

Select a single note

  1. In Logic Pro, in the Piano Roll Editor menu bar, tap the Trim button  or Velocity button , then tap a note bar to select it.

    The vertical keyboard on the left highlights the corresponding key to show the note pitch.

  2. Tap the working area to deselect any selected notes.

Select multiple notes

You can apply most of the editing tasks to a group of notes at once and change the parameter value of those notes to a specific value (absolute) or apply a value offset to all notes (relative).

  1. In Logic Pro, in the Piano Roll Editor menu bar, tap the Trim button  or Velocity button , and then tap the Select button  to turn on Select mode.

    The function buttons disappear.

  2. Tap individual notes to select or deselect them.

  3. Once you’ve selected the group of notes, tap the Select button  again to turn off Select mode.

    The function buttons appear again with the current selection, and you can perform the edit, which applies to all selected notes.

To select multiple adjacent notes, you can also touch and hold the working area next to the first note you want to select, then drag across multiple notes.

Select multiple notes using momentary mode

You can apply most of the editing tasks to a group of notes all at once and change the parameter value of those notes to a specific value (absolute) or apply a value offset to all notes (relative).

  1. In Logic Pro, in the Piano Roll Editor menu bar, tap the Trim button  or Velocity button .

  2. Touch and hold the Select button , or press and hold the Shift key on an external keyboard.

    The current function button is deselected momentarily.

  3. While still holding the button (or pressing the Shift key), tap individual notes to select or deselect them.

  4. Once you’ve selected the group of notes, release the Select button  (or release the Shift key).

    The previous function button is selected again, and you can perform the edit, which applies to all selected notes.

Note: Select mode remains active (Trim, Pencil, Brush, and Velocity buttons are hidden) if you don’t tap any item before releasing the Select button (or the Shift key).
