To set the MIDI Channel
µ Choose a channel number from the View > Hyper Draw > Channel submenu.
The chosen channel number is also displayed alongside the event type.
To define other MIDI controllers in Hyper Draw
µ Choose View > Hyper Draw > Other, and select the number of the controller and the MIDI
channel in the Hyper Draw window.
Use this option if you want to use Hyper Draw to edit a controller that isn’t directly
available in the Hyper Draw menu.
Using the Autodefine Mode
The Autodefine mode sets the Hyper Draw parameters automatically, making the first
event in the region visible.
Autodefine is not limited to switching the Hyper Draw display to the first incoming
controller; it can also respond to other types of events. It responds in this order:
• Controller
• Aftertouch
• Pitch Bend
• Program Change
• Note Velocity
Recording MIDI Automation Data
You can record MIDI automation just like regular MIDI events. Logic Pro must be in record
mode to capture this type of automation.
To record MIDI automation data
Do one of the following:
µ Move any Environment fader to record the fader’s MIDI events to the currently selected
track. For more information see Recording and Playback of Fader Movements.
µ Record events via external MIDI controllers, such as the modulation wheel or filter cutoff
control of your MIDI synthesizer.
Editing MIDI Automation Data
As MIDI automation data consists solely of MIDI events, you can edit it just like any other
MIDI events, using the Event List, Hyper Editor, or the Transform window.
Using the Note Velocity Mode
Hyper Draw offers the Note Velocity mode, which is perfect for creating crescendos or
diminuendos across a range of notes. You can use it at any point in a region (on a note
in the Piano Roll window, for example).
