This feature is especially useful for separating drum parts that have been recorded into Logic Pro from a drum machine where all notes are on the same MIDI channel. Each note region can then be assigned to another channel strip, or perhaps some can be deleted, to thin out the original drum pattern.

We’ve all been there. We’re in the heat of working, editing away; we make a snip or cut with either a key command, menu function, or tool, and bam. It pops up. Stopping us dead in our tracks.

  Relative Position  ⌃⇧R

Show the MIDI event positions in a region as if the events occurred with the beginning of the region at the start.

“Calling macro 5, macro 5 can you please come to the front desk. We need your expertise here.”

The built-in presets can be used to spark your imagination.

Use MIDI transform sets in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Depending on your needs, it may be worthwhile to create your own transform sets. These can be configured and saved as part of a project. (Doing this in your template projects makes your transform sets available in all projects.) Your transform sets are shown at the bottom of the Presets pop-up menu.
