Editing Track Automation Data in the Event List<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> allows track automation data to be altered in a dedicated Event List window,<br />

which can only be opened via the Automation Event List key command (default<br />

assignment: Control-Command-E).<br />

Each automation event is displayed as a MIDI controller event, and can be adjusted in<br />

length, value, and so on.<br />

Tip: If you open another Arrange window (Command-1) while the Automation Event List<br />

window is open, you will see all automation data as folder regions in a separate Arrange<br />

window. These can be handled just like MIDI regions, but only affect automation data.<br />

This functionality generally won’t be required in most automation editing situations, but<br />

it’s there if you need it.<br />

Writing Track Automation with External Controllers<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> provides support for a number of dedicated control surfaces that make writing<br />

and editing track automation data fast, efficient, and easy. Depending on the facilities<br />

available, you can simultaneously write automation data for several channels, or multiple<br />

plug-in parameters. Full details on all supported devices can be found in the <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong><br />

Control Surfaces Support manual.<br />

Any MIDI controller—such as the modulation wheel, or a front panel slider or knob on<br />

your MIDI keyboard—can be used to write automation data. You can use one such<br />

controller for all automation writing duties (see Using Automation Quick Access), or can<br />

assign individual controllers (if available on your MIDI keyboard) to different parameters<br />

(see the <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> Control Surfaces Support manual).<br />
