Apply Transform User Preset 5 to selected Events — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

List of built-in MIDI Transforms 
  Apply Transform User Preset  5 to selected Events

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

I have to remember the timeline of Logic. Its roots are 30 years old. Having any kind of preset is a workflow enhancer.

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

I write little macros all the time in text editors, don’t see why I wouldn’t if I was working on an involved MIDI project.

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.

Select And Operate using Transform User Preset 11 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

It’s good that there are up to 30 preset transforms. Unfortunately there is no way to see what, exactly, Transform User Preset 11 *is*.

It’s like trying to program with numbered subroutines or functions.

Far safer and more meaningful to “Open MIDI Transform ⌘9′ and select the transformation there. I guess some people can keep it straight between Group 27 and Transform Preset 27 — not me.

Oh, yeah, this is exactly the tool I was looking for back in the 1990s when I was programming MIDI “orchestras”.

The 30th of 30 — All the transform commands. Think of them as un-named macros or subroutines in a program.

Select MIDI events and apply the 30th preset to them…

Logic Pro MIDI Transform window overview — Apple Support

The MIDI Transform window is a powerful tool for edits that would otherwise be impossible (or tedious). For example, imagine an orchestral project that has been sent to you for editing. The individual violin and viola parts were recorded with a different string library. Two hundred MIDI regions contain aftertouch information that introduces an unpleasant pitch modulation, and some sample layer switching artifacts when played with your string samples. After looking at this aftertouch information, you discover that only a small range of values is causing the problem. Your options: edit your sampler instruments, manually remove all aftertouch information (region by region, or globally, thus losing the performance benefits that the aftertouch information provides), or alter the problematic values in the MIDI Transform window.

  Apply Transform User Preset 19 to selected Events

This is one of the 30 user transform commands. There are two ways to apply transforms — “Apply Transform” and “Select and Operate”. Looking at the Transform window I see that there are the options to “Select Only”, “Operate Only”, and “Select and Operate”. Sort of like PERL for MIDI events 😉

The best introduction I could find for MIDI Transform Sets is the table that describes the pre-defined transforms. The operations and selection criteria help me to understand what is possible.

The MIDI Transform window is so-named because it transforms MIDI events—based on conditions, operations, and values you choose—into different types of events, or events with different values.
