Using Advanced Selection Commands<br />

You can make moving and copying tasks faster and easier by using the selection<br />

commands outlined below.<br />

• Selecting All Used Instruments: The Edit > Select Used Instruments function selects all<br />

objects that are assigned to the selected track in the Arrange window (or tracks that<br />

contain regions), or are connected to such objects via cables.<br />

• Selecting All Unused Instruments: The Edit > Select Unused Instruments function selects<br />

all objects that are neither used in the Arrange window (as tracks which contain regions),<br />

nor connected to any such objects via cables.<br />

• Selecting Cable Destination or Origin Objects: The Edit > Select Cable Destination<br />

command highlights the destination object of a selected cable connection. This is<br />

particularly useful in two cases:<br />

• The destination object is on a different layer. You can use the function to select and<br />

display the destination object (and layer).<br />

• When in the list display (View > By Text), you can locate the destination object of a<br />

source object, because selecting the source object also selects its cable connections.<br />

This function allows you to follow the cabling from one (serially cabled) object to the<br />

next. If several objects are connected in parallel, or several cable connections are<br />

selected, the path of the top cable is followed.<br />

The Edit > Select Cable Origin command essentially performs the reverse task, where<br />

the MIDI signal flow is back-tracked to the source (or origin) object. This is particularly<br />

useful for troubleshooting, or when you want to make changes to a number of serially<br />

cabled objects (by changing the original).<br />

• Toggling Your Selection: Just as in the Arrange window and editors, you can change<br />

the status of any selected objects in the current layer by choosing Edit > Toggle<br />

Selection.<br />

Creating Your MIDI Signal Path<br />

Before any MIDI events received at your computer’s MIDI inputs can be recorded by<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>, there must be a connection between two Environment objects:<br />

• Physical Input object: This represents the MIDI In port(s) of your MIDI interface.<br />
