Cycle Mode

In Cycle mode, a selected passage of the current song is constantly repeated. This is

useful for:

• composing a song section.

• practicing a recording.

• recording individual tracks consecutively.

• editing events.

The Cycle area is shown as a green stripe in the top part of the Bar Ruler.

There are four ways of switching Cycle mode on and off:

• clicking on the Cycle button.

• using the Cycle key command.

• clicking on the top part of the Bar Ruler.

• inputting a Cycle area graphically in the Bar Ruler.

How Logic behaves in Cycle mode:

• The Song Position Line jumps from the end of the Cycle to the beginning.

• When this happens, the playback from Environment Objects that are generating

notes is interrupted.

• The Play command starts playback from the beginning of the Cycle.

• To start playback from another position, hit Pause twice, or Pauseand then Play.

• At the cycle jump point, you can use the Chase Events (see “Chase Events” on

page 106) function—File > Song Settings > MIDI > Chase > Chase on Cycle Jump.

• You can determine the way recording works in Cycle mode, by using the various

options on the File > Song Settings > Recording page.

Defining the Cycle

There are a number of different ways to define a Cycle.

Defining the Cycle graphically in the Bar Ruler:

Click-hold in the top third of the Bar Ruler, and define the desired Cycle area by

dragging the mouse from left to right. Dragging from right to left generates a Skip

Cycle (see “Skip Cycle” on page 102).

Grab the Cycle “bar” in the middle to reposition it.

Grab the bottom corners to move the start or end points of the Cycle (you can even do

this while the sequencer is still running.). If you set the start and end points to the

same position, Cycle mode is switched off.
