Logic Pro X also provides a number of impressive tools for creating sounds, such as Space Designer, Ultrabeat Drum Synthesizer and the EXS24 sampler, which are not part of GarageBand. Perhaps the most unusual of these tools is called Sculpture, which Apple claims can create the sound of vibrating materials such as wood, glass, nylon or metal. Logic Pro analyzes the file, and creates a tempo map. To make any adjustments in the Smart Tempo Editor, click Show in the dialog. For example, you might need to set a new downbeat at the beginning of the file. In the Tracks area, trim and move the song’s beginning and end as desired. Question: Q: Logic Pro X Piano roll not displaying the correct track. Hi, when I usually double click a track, the midi notes will appear in the piano roll below. However, despite restarting the project, or deleting a track then replacing it, the issue still persists. It would consistently show. In Logic Pro, the Piano Roll Editor shows the notes in MIDI regions as colored bars in a time grid.
