  Select Used Instruments

Personally I prefer new instruments…

In the Environment. Part of the arcana of Logic Pro X. I don’t see myself building amazing MIDI environments in the near future.

Work with object groups — Logic Pro X

When building a virtual mixing desk or synthesizer layout in the Environment, you often need to work with large groups of fader objects that have the same size, regular spacing, or a similar definition.

Send All Current Fader Values except Sysex — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Send All Current Fader Values except Sysex

In Logic *everything* is controlled by “faders”. This is one of the functions that can be performed in the environment (which I still haven’t learned much about) that makes sense, but I do not have a context to place the “sense” into.

Most of the discussion I can find is at least 10 years old, from a time when people had to make their MIDI environment work for them. Flexibility can be a burden.

Special functions — Logic Pro X

Sending fader values: Choose Options > Send All Fader Values (or use the Send All Current Fader Values keyboard shortcut) to make all fader objects send their current values. Choose Options > Send Selected Fader Values to make all selected fader objects send their current values.

  Select Unused Instruments    ⇧U

In the MIDI Environment window. “Unused Instruments” is an interesting way of putting it. This command will select all non-instruments in the environment.

Currently I can think of no particular use for this command.

The ⇧U command is also used to select unused audio files in the Project Audio window.
