Play Surfaces
Play surfaces. Logic pro for ipads play surfaces adds an exciting aspect to midi control play surfaces or interfaces are real instruments that can be played in time to use a play surface. Go to the keyboard icon at the bottom right of the arrangement window and let's drag this up to make more space. And you can see that we have two rows of keyboards. When we drag this up, the instrument will default to the one that best suits the chosen virtual instrument. But you can change this by tapping the keyboard drop down on the left side of the play surface window. You can see here we have different play surfaces to choose from such as drum pads, a guitar fret board cord strips and guitar strips. But let's go back to the piano keyboard and have a look at some more controls by pressing the side control button. The velocity range determines the range of velocities assigned to the pads or keys on your play surface. It's essentially the difference between the loudest and quietest note the surface ...
can play, tapping the screen harder will increase the velocity. There will be more info on velocity control later on in this course though, for now, let's close the side controls by pressing the side controls button again. When the piano surface is selected, the scrolling button, lets you scroll horizontally along the keyboard allowing you to play higher or lower notes. The play button freezes the position and settings of the play surface allowing you to play freely. Let's now change to another play surface by pressing the play surface button. The edit function can be used on the fret board, guitar strip and core strip surfaces and lets you change the way the instrument is set up. So let's press the edit button. Now, for example, the strings on the fret board can be retuned to different pitches and you can change the course that the core strip plays. You can then record in real time from the play surface by first making sure that the correct track you want to record on is selected and pressing the red button in the transport. It's worth noting that having the metronome on will help you stay in time. The metronome is located on the right of the transport. The numbers next to the metronome button indicate turning on accounting of usually four beats before the recording starts. Let's now drag up the cor strip control surface and let's press record and record something in and let's play this back now by pressing the play button to hear what we recorded in. I also turned off the metronome join playback by pressing the metronome button again. So it's not let up as it can get a little grating, hearing the metronome sound all of the time. OK. So just in this lesson, we've covered the essentials of Midi in Logic Pro for ipad from creating and editing Midi regions to the creative world that play surfaces. You now have the tools to infuse your projects with creative expression. In our next lesson, we explore recording and editing audio until then, keep experimenting and enjoy the creative possibilities of Midi in Logic Pro for ipad.
