danielh002 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 If I select a portion of audio in a clip in the tracks view, I have the option to "Copy marquee selection to Live Loops". Can I do the same with MIDI? I want to select a group of MIDI notes and create a new Live Loop from that selection only. I tried using the command shortcut (CMD+HOME) but that copies the entire MIDI region to a Live Loop, ignoring your selection. Thanks!

Atlas007 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just a hunch, have you tried using the marquee tool approach as you described above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielh002 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just a hunch, have you tried using the marquee tool approach as you described above? When selecting multiple MIDI notes and right clicking, there is no option for creating a Live Loop. I only see that when selecting a portion of audio...

Atlas007 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Are you selecting part of the MIDI region (containing the targeted notes) or are you trying selecting from the Piano Roll editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielh002 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Are you selecting part of the MIDI region (containing the targeted notes) or are you trying selecting from the Piano Roll editor? I was actually selecting MIDI notes from the MIDI editor. Per your question, I tried using the marquee tool in the region in the track view, and that does give me the option to create a Live Loop. It's a little less exact selecting from the region as opposed to the editor, but at least it's a work-around. Thanks so much for your help.

Solution Atlas007 Posted October 24, 2021 Solution Share Posted October 24, 2021 There are different ways to perform a selection in the track area. Also the Marquee selection could be fine tuned by doing one of the following: Using the Marquee tool: -Press and hold Shift, then click in the Tracks area to change the selection in any direction. -Shift-click inside a selection to move the selection end closest to the pointer. -Option-Shift-click inside a selection to move the selection end farther from the pointer. Using any marquee selection: -Press and hold Shift while using the Left Arrow key or Right Arrow key to move the marquee start point. -You can also use the Toggle Previous Region/Cell/Event or Move Marquee Start to Previous Transient key commands, depending on the type of region selected. -Use the Left Arrow key or Right Arrow key to change the selection end points. -You can also use the Select Previous Region/Cell/Event or Move Marquee End to Previous Transient key commands, depending on the type of region selected. You can access Logic Pro key commands in the Key Commands window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
