Snap items to the grid in Logic Pro for iPad
The Tracks area includes a grid that helps you align regions, automation points, and other items with the time divisions in the ruler. When you perform any of the following actions, items move according to the current Snap value:
Moving and resizing regions
Moving the playhead
Adjusting the cycle region
Dragging loops to the Tracks area
Moving automation points
The Snap pop-up menu is available in the Tracks area, and also in the Piano Roll Editor, the Audio Editor, and the Automation view of the Drummer Editor. It can be set independently for each area. Using the Snap pop-up menu, you can set the Snap value and choose Snap options. You can also turn Snap to Grid off to move items freely in time.
When Auto is selected, the Snap value changes depending on the zoom level of the grid. You can set whether the Snap value uses normal (non-triplet) values (such as Bar, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and so on) or triplet values, and whether it uses all available triplet values or only smaller values (1/8 T, 1/16 T and 1/32 T). When closed, the Snap pop-up menu shows the current Snap value.
When you change the Snap value, the grid lines in the Tracks area grid change to reflect the new Snap value, indicating where regions and other items will snap to when you move them horizontally.
Set the Snap value for the Tracks area
When Auto is deselected, the range of Snap values become available in the Snap pop-up menu.
In Logic Pro, tap the Snap pop-up menu in the Tracks area menu bar.
If Auto is selected, tap to deselect it to show Snap values in the menu.
Tap the Snap pop-up menu again, then tap a Snap value.
Tap the Snap pop-up menu again, then tap Auto to select it.
Set Snap options for the Tracks area
In Logic Pro, tap the Snap pop-up menu in the Tracks area menu bar, then set the Snap options:
Snap to Grid: When selected, items snap to the grid. When Snap to Grid is deselected, you can move items freely in time (no snapping).
Auto: When selected, the Snap value changes with the zoom level of the Tracks area. The current Snap value appears in the menu bar, and you can see it change as you zoom in or zoom out.
Set Auto to use different note values
In Logic Pro, tap the Snap pop-up menu in the Tracks area menu bar.
With Auto selected, choose one of the following:
Normal: The Snap value changes between non-triplet values: Bar, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 as you change the zoom level.
Small Triplets: The Snap value changes between the triplet values 1/8 T, 1/16 T and 1/32 T as you change the zoom level.
All Triplets: The Snap value changes between the triplet values 1/2 T, 1/4 T, 1/8 T, 1/16 T, and 1/32 T as you change the zoom level.
