To change the MIDI grid in Logic Pro, you'll need to adjust the division settings, often found in the Piano Roll editor. When you uncheck the "Automatic" box, you'll gain access to further grid adjustment options.
Essentially, you're looking to manipulate the quantization settings to control the grid resolution. This impacts how MIDI notes snap to the grid during recording and editing.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
- Open the Piano Roll Editor: Double-click a MIDI region in the Tracks area to open it in the Piano Roll Editor.
- Access Grid Settings: In the Piano Roll Editor, look for a section that allows you to adjust the grid. This is often found in the inspector or a dedicated grid menu. Look for a checkbox labelled "Automatic".
- Disable Automatic Grid (if necessary): Uncheck the "Automatic" option. This reveals manual grid settings.
- Adjust Division: With "Automatic" disabled, you can now manually select the grid division (e.g., 1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note, triplets, etc.). Choose the division that best suits your desired level of detail and rhythmic precision.
- Experiment and Fine-Tune: Play around with different grid divisions to see how they affect note placement and editing.
The precise location of these controls might vary slightly depending on your Logic Pro version, but the general principle remains the same: disable automatic grid snapping and then select your desired grid division manually.
