MIDI region Data container for MIDI events, shown in the Arrange area as a named<br />

horizontal beam.<br />

MIDI Time Code (MTC) Translation of a SMPTE time code signal into a MIDI standard<br />

time code signal. MTC is used to synchronize <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> with MIDI devices, other sequencers,<br />

video and audio tape or hard disk machines that support MIDI Time Code. MTC determines<br />

absolute time positions and supports start, stop, and continue messages.<br />

mixdown A term commonly used to describe either bouncing (see bounce) or merging<br />

of tracks (see merge).<br />

Mixer The Mixer window displays all (or the desired) track, instrument, and MIDI channel<br />

strips. These channels allow you to control all aspects of track output and processing,<br />

including level, panning, effect and instrument processing, routing, and more.<br />

Mixer layer An Environment layer that shows all channel strips in a project (except MIDI<br />

channel strips). In general, you will not need to access this Environment layer as all mixing<br />

duties can be performed in the Mixer window.<br />

mixing The process of shaping the overall sound of a project by adjusting the volume<br />

levels, pan positions, adding EQ and other effects, and using automation to dynamically<br />

alter these and other aspects.<br />

M-LAN A Yamaha-designed variant of the FireWire interface. It enables Yamaha digital<br />

mixers and other devices to be directly connected to a Macintosh FireWire port (see<br />

FireWire).<br />

modifier key Computer keyboard keys used in conjunction with alphabetical keys to<br />

change functionality. Modifier keys include Control, Shift, Option, and Command.<br />

modulation Generally, a slight, continuously varying change. Many <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> effects and<br />

synthesizers contain modulators.<br />

modulation amount The strength, or intensity, of modulation.<br />

modulation matrix The EXS24 mkII (and some other <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> instruments) contains a<br />

grid that allows you to vary a number of target parameters, such as pitch, with a number<br />

of modulators (modulation sources). This grid is referred to as the modulation matrix in<br />

the EXS24 mkII.<br />

modulation path A modulation path determines which target parameter will be affected<br />

by a specific modulator (modulation source).<br />

modulation wheel A MIDI controller found on most MIDI keyboards.<br />
