But first, a quick word about this manual. 1.1 Conventions of this Manual Menu Functions Menu functions are written in this font: Function. If the text is describing functions which can be reached via hierarchical menus, the different menu levels are described as follows: Menu > Menu Entry > Function. Key Commands When a function can be operated by a key command of the same name, you will see this symbol at the side of the text. If names differ, or if a function is only available as a key command, its name will be printed like this: Key Command. All of Logic’s key commands can also be accessed via MIDI commands (for more on this, see the section Key Commands and Remote Control via MIDI on page 1-44). Options and Parameters The options you can set from the Preferences or Song Settings, and the parameters in dialog boxes are printed like this: Param- eters. Different parameter values are printed like this: Parameter value. 1-1 Chapter 1 Using Logic Detailed Explanations Hints, tips, examples, or information mainly of interest to the more technically-minded are printed like this. Sometimes, detailed explanations will be given for things which you don’t neces- sarily need to know about to understand how to use Logic. These are printed in this smaller font. 1.2 Dialog Language and Look Interface Language Logic supports multiple languages from the menu Options > Settings > Display Preferences. Switching to another language requires that you re-launch Logic. The preset “Default Language” automatically selects the lan- guage of your operating system (or, to be more precise, the lan- guage of your keyboard layout), if Logic supports that language; otherwise English will be used as the default. Logic’s Look You can, if you prefer, continue to work with the familiar look & feel of Version 3.x. Go to Options > Settings > Display Prefer- ences to switch looks. 1.3 The Mouse Basic Functions Clicking Place the mouse pointer on the object (button, input field, etc.) and press the mouse button once. 1-2 The Mouse Double-clicking The same …
