MIDI Instruments

In order to know where specific MIDI messages are to be sent, Logic needs to have

some idea of how the MIDI devices in your setup are connected. This is portrayed

graphically in the Environment, which shows the sequencer’s connection with many

other Objects, which we will refer to as “Instruments” in this section. Each instrument is

an Environment Object, which represents a physical MIDI device. You can think of the

Instrument Object as being a virtual instrument, or a representation of a real

instrument.

To learn how to configure the Environment, refer to the Environment section (see

“Environment—Introduction” on page 201).

To make an instrument visible:

Double-click on the instrument name in the Track List. This directly opens the

Environment window, with the Object selected.

Creating a New Instrument

It is best to create Instruments directly in the Environment, but you can also do so from

the Arrange window, by using the Create New Instrument key command. The selected

track will then contain a new Instrument, whose parameters can be adjusted in the

instrument’s Object Parameter box. The new Instrument will also be present in the

Environment. All Instruments in the Arrange window exist in the Environment, no

matter where they were created originally.

The Instrument Parameters

The Instrument’s Object Parameter box is located at the bottom left corner of the

Arrange window.

The Instrument parameters belong to the Instrument Object, not to the track per se, so

if you alter the parameters here, it will affect all tracks playing (addressing) the

Instrument.
