Touch Tracks Object

Touch Tracks turns Logic into an interactive live sequencer. A touch tracks Object allows

you to trigger MIDI Regions or folders with single notes.

You can not use touch tracks to trigger audio. In the following section, any references

to Regions mean folders and MIDI Regions, not Audio Regions.

To create a Touch Tracks Object:

Drag a MIDI Region or Folder from the Arrange window into the Environment window

or select New > Touch Tracks.

To use a Touch Tracks Object:

Simply assign it to an Arrange window track, or place it anywhere in the MIDI signal

path.

Here are some things to remember:

• Only the touch tracks input has meaning—trigger notes must appear here. Although

the Object features an output triangle, it has no use, as events never appear here.

• Regions triggered by touch tracks play exactly as they would from the Arrange

window—they play back through the instruments assigned to their tracks.

• Logic’s Transport must be running for touch tracks to work.

The Touch Tracks Window

You open the touch tracks window by double-clicking on the touch tracks Object. This

window is set up similarly to the mapped instrument window (see “Mapped

Instrument” on page 219)—the input note is selected via the keyboard on the left, and

the output Region assignment and parameters are set in the columns of the

corresponding row.

Region Note Assignment

Dragging a MIDI Region or Folder into the Environment creates a touch tracks Object.

All notes (initially) trigger this Region. Middle C plays the Region/Folder at its original

pitch, and all other notes transpose it—relative to middle C.

In the Input column, you can see the input notes, and to the right, in the Region/Folder

column, the names of the assigned Regions or Folders. On the vertical keyboard to the

left, you can select individual notes or whole pitch ranges, by grabbing and dragging. If

you then drag a MIDI Region or Folder from the Arrange window, it will only be

assigned to the selected notes.

Remember that all settings of the following parameters also apply to multiple

selections.
