MIDI Monitor/Song End

MIDI Monitor and Panic Function

MIDI Monitor

The top line shows the last MIDI message received, and the bottom line the last MIDI

message transmitted. The monitor is mainly used for checking MIDI connections.

Automatic Chord Interpretation

The MIDI activity panel of the Transport window shows chord symbols when Logic

receives more than one MIDI note simultaneously. The respective, held intervals

(between notes) are interpreted and displayed as chords.

Panic Function

Click on the MIDI monitor to silence any hanging notes. If this doesn’t work, double-

clicking on it will initiate a Full Panic reset, which should do the trick (see “Reset

Functions” on page 173).

Song Title

The title of the active song is shown below the MIDI monitor.

Song End

Below the song title, you’ll see a numerical field that indicates the song end position.

As soon as Logic reaches this position, it will stop automatically, except when

recording. In this situation, the song end point is automatically moved to the end of

the recording.

The maximum length of a Logic song is 8550 quarter notes, or about 2158 bars in 4/4

time.

A song can therefore last a maximum of around 70 minutes at a tempo of 120 bpm. At

95 bpm, the maximum length is over an hour and a half.

If you need to increase this length, for film synchronization as an example, just halve

the tempo. You can achieve the same result by using 4/8 time instead of 4/4 time, and

treating quarter notes as eighth notes. A 4/8 song at a tempo of 60 bpm (equivalent to

4/4 at a tempo of 120) has a maximum length of more than 4273 bars, or over 2 hours

and 22 minutes.
