Edit a Keyboard Player performance in Logic Pro for Mac

You can use the Keyboard Player in Logic Pro for Mac to create authentic piano and keyboard harmonies in a variety of styles.

In addition to the common settings available for all Session Players, the Keyboard Player has settings that are designed for keyboard and piano performances. These settings control various aspects unique to keyboard and piano performances, such as hand positions, voicing, and style. They appear in the Session Player Editor when the Keyboard Player is the Session Player for the selected Session Player region.

The harmonies played by the Keyboard Player follow the global Chord track or region chords. See Chords and Session Players.

Some settings and menu options only appear in the editor for specific Keyboard Player styles.

Mute or unmute a playing hand

As with a real keyboard player, the left and right hands work together to create the performance. This means, for example, that muting the left hand changes how the right hand plays voicings.

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, click the Left Hand or Right Hand button so that it’s selected (unmuted) or dimmed (muted).

Set the hand positions

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, drag the Left Hand and Right Hand sliders to set the hand positions.

    The slider control represents the range of the keyboard, with the lower keys on the left and the higher keys on the right.

    Tip: You can simultaneously move the Left Hand and Right Hand sliders by dragging the space between them.

Edit left-hand voicing and style

The left hand typically plays the root notes of chords or an alternative bass note when one is specified in the Edit Chord dialog. In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, do any of the following:

  • To change what notes the left hand plays: Choose one of the following options in the Left-Hand Voicing pop-up menu:

    • Root Only: Play just the root note.

    • Root & Octave: Play the root note and octave.

    • Root & Fifth: Play the root note and fifth.

    • Root, Fifth & Octave: Play the root note, fifth, and octave.

    • Broken: Play the root note, fifth, and octave, but rhythmically separate (Rhythmic Chords style only).

  • To change the complexity of the left-hand playing style: Choose one of the following options in the Style pop-up menu:

    • Sustain Only: Play only long, sustained notes.

    • Simple: Play mostly long notes and sometimes short notes.

    • Moderate: Play a moderate rhythmic pattern.

    • Complex: Play a more intricate rhythmic pattern.

    • Follow Right Hand: Play accents in sync with the right hand.

    • Steady 4ths: Play straight quarter notes (available only for the Rhythmic Chords style).

    • Steady 8ths: Play straight eighth notes.

Edit right-hand voicing and movement

The right hand plays chords in the chord progression of the region or Chord track. Voicing refers to the notes played in a chord. In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, do any of the following:

  • To influence the voicing number, common tones, and chord extensions: Choose one of the following options in the Right-Hand Voicing pop-up menu:

    • 2 Voice: Play two appropriate chord notes, such as the third and the fifth. The Keyboard Player tries to stay in the same register when changing chords.

    • 2 Voice (Fixed Interval): Play the two most appropriate notes for a chord, using the same interval for all chords.

    • 2 Voice (Common Tone): Play two notes that work across all chords in a progression, similar to the concept of pedal notes or pedal chords.

    • 3 Voice (Common Tone): Play triads that work across all chords in a progression.

    • Full Chord: Play full chords. The number of notes played depends on the type of chord. For example, a C major chord contains the root, third, and fifth. A C major 7 chord also contains the seventh.

    • Full Chord (Fixed Inversion): Play full chords, then use the same inversion for all chords.

    • 4+ Voice:  Play stacked voicings that include notes in a different octave. For example, the root, third, fifth, and the root an octave higher.

    • 4+ Voice (Fixed Inversion): Play stacked voicings, using the same inversion for all chords.

  • To change the range of keys the right hand uses: Choose an option in the Right-Hand Movement pop-up menu.

More right-hand voicing options for the Synth Keyboard Players

For the Synth Keyboard Player styles in Logic Pro, additional options are available for the right-hand voicing:

  • 1 Voice: Play a single note from the chord.

  • 3 Voice Wide: Play triads spread over at least 2 octaves.

  • Stacked: Play stacked chord notes that include notes in a different octave.

  • Stacked (Fixed Inversion): Play stacked notes, using the same inversion for all chords.

  • Shape 1, 2, and 3: Add coloring notes to the chord, including notes that aren’t in the chord.

  • Root Only: Play only the root of the chord.

  • Root & Fifth: Play the root and the fifth.

  • Root, Fifth & Octave: Play the root, fifth, and the root an octave higher.

For more information about the Synth Keyboard Players, see Edit a Synth Keyboard Player performance.

Adjust the probability of grace notes

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, click the Details button, then drag the Grace Notes knob vertically.

    Note: The Grace Notes knob isn’t available for Simple Pad.

Adjust other performance settings for specific styles

In Logic Pro, some Keyboard Player styles provide additional settings in the Session Player Editor to complement performance aspects and articulations typical of the playing style.

  • For Block Chords:

    • To fill the pattern with eighth notes: Click the Patterns button, then turn on the Steady 8ths switch.

    • To have the player play staccato notes, more longer notes with some short notes, or all long notes with the sustain pedal pressed: In Details view, choose an option from the Phrasing pop-up menu.

  • For Arpeggiated:

    • To influence the primary direction of arpeggios and include chords on the beats accented by the pattern: In Details view, choose an option from the Arpeggio Mode pop-up menu.

  • For Simple Pad:

    • To have the player sustain notes of the same pitch that are common across multiple chords in the progression: Choose an option from the Tie Notes pop-up menu.

    • To shift the start and end of each note so that it is ahead or behind the beat: Drag the Note Start knob vertically.

    • To change the length of notes: Drag the Note Length knob vertically.
