I have been using Logic since version 5 and upgraded to 8 the day it was released.
I posted this topic in the Bugs forum but after 3 weeks no one has responded.
Does anyone else notice that some of the key commands programmed in Logic 8 under the U.S. Standard key command template do not work properly? Or that certain keys on the keyboard do not actually correspond to what is written in the key command window?
Here's some examples:
1. Go To Position is supposed to be "/" on the NUMBER PAD, at least that is what it says in the key command window. For me, on my full-sized aluminum Apple Keyboard, pressing "/" on the number pad engages Cycle Mode.
If I use the "/" on the Alphanumeric section of the keyboard, this brings up Go To Position.
2. The "=" sign on the NUMBER PAD is supposed to be programmed for Merge Regions/Notes, again, this is what it says in the Key Commands Window.
In order for me to merge regions together, I actually have to press "=" on the Alphanumeric keyboard instead. Pressing "=" on the Number Pad performs Set Rounded Locators by Region, even though that command is supposed to be executed when the "=" sign on the Alphanumeric keyboard is pressed.
3. While the Key Commands Window is open, pressing the "-" on the NUMBER PAD only brings up one command as a result: Decrease last clicked parameter by 1.
Now, if I press the "-" key on the Alphanumeric keyboard while the Key Commands Window is open, it will scroll through three different options:
-- Decrease last clicked parameter by 1.
-- Note Overlap Correction
-- Remove Overlaps
When Logic displays the command for "Note Overlap Correction" and "Remove Overlaps", the Key Commands window tells me that this is executed by pushing the "-" key on the NUMBER PAD. Remember, I was pushing "-" on the Alphanumeric keyboard to find these functions in the Key Commands Window.
The strange thing is that I cannot for the life of me get "Remove Overlaps" to work, regardless of which "-" key I use. If I highlight two regions and then choose "Remove Overlaps" by right-clicking and picking it from the pop-up menu, it works fine.
It seems like many of the keys that double on the Alphanumeric keyboard and the Number Pad are working backwards, even though they are not programmed that way, or at least, they do not display that way in the Key Commands Window. And again, some commands, like "Remove Overlaps, do not work at all.
