Work in the Cell Editor in Logic Pro for iPad

You can use the Cell Editor to view and edit the regions in cells, similar to the way you edit regions in the Piano Roll Editor, Audio Editor, Session Player Editor, and Step Sequencer. You can graphically change loop settings for audio and MIDI cells. You can also edit region automation for individual cells. See Automate cells in Live Loops and Show region automation.

Open the Cell Editor

  • In Live Loops, select a cell, then tap the Editors button  in the middle area of the view control bar.

    The Cell Editor opens below the Live Loops grid. Audio cells show the Audio Editor, MIDI cells show the Piano Roll Editor, Session Player cells show the Session Player Editor, and pattern cells show the Step Sequencer.

Change loop settings for audio and MIDI cells

While you can change the loop settings for all cells numerically in the Cell inspector, you can also change them graphically for audio and MIDI cells in the Cell Editor.

In Logic Pro, open the Cell Editor and do any of the following:

  • Move the start position: Drag the start marker to the desired position.

  • Move the loop start position: Drag the loop start to the desired position.

  • Move the loop end position: Drag the loop end to the desired position.

  • Move the end position: Drag the end marker to the desired position.

  • Move the loop area: Drag the area between the loop start and loop end horizontally.

  • Turn off cell looping: Tap the loop area.

Show and edit automation curves for a cell

Each region within a cell can have its own set of automation curves that you can view and edit in the Cell Editor. You can add and adjust automation points, similar to the way you edit automation in the Audio Editor and edit automation and MIDI parameters in the Piano Roll Editor. When a cell contains automation curves, an Cell Automation indicator  appears in the lower-right corner of the cell in the Live Loops grid.
