Hello everybody, I would like to introduce myself to this forum. I'm here more to learn about the technical stuff than to dispense with any advice. I was by no means born with the Logic-manual in my head! It's great that you are all here. I look forward to ask silly questions with everybody. Therefore my first question: In the grid Editor (I think it is called like that) there is a graphic representation of the Keyboard. Why do the keys not move (like in the plug-ins) when playing via Midi in? I often need to "construct" chords because of my lacking musical abilities and this would be VERY helpful. I know that Cubase once (Atari time) had this function. thank you very much

The chords played are displayed in the Trasnsport. Great stuff. Helps to "find" that chord. Gordon

It's called the Matrix Editor. I've been wishing for keyboard animation in this window for over 10 years. It works in the EXS24 editor and various 3rd party virtual instruments. However, in the Matrix there is a small readout that tells you what chord SELECTED notes are. And in the Transport (separate floating window version), it tells you in realtime what chord it's seeing. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>

In addition, having at least some choice about the Matrix Editor displaying an actual keyboards layout of white and black keys straight on the grid (rather than just displaying alternating white and black lines) would be immensely helfpul, if you asked me.
