As Logic Pro 12 has just been released, remember to back up your current version of Logic 11 before updating. It’s nice to have a version of Logic to fall back on incase there are any new bugs that keep you from working on projects. With that out of the way, I am sure we are all curious to see how Chord ID works so here’s how it’s been working for me so far. Select the region you want to analyze and get the chords for. Then add those chords to the global chord track. Lastly I find setting the global track to show only the chord track helps when you want to edit the chords.
The LogicKeyboardNinja key commands file has been updated with these key commands so you won’t need to assign them yourself if you install the latest copy. Remember, Logic Magician includes the LogicKeyboardNinja key commands file and it’s recommended to install both with the Logic Magician Installer. Once installed follow the steps in the documentation to reselect the LogicKeyboardNinja key commands file after installation. If you are not a user of Logic Magician but still use LogicKeyboardNinja, you can download the key commands file here.
Below is the 3 main key commands needed to get Chord ID working as a keyboard user, and what they are assigned to.
Analyze Chords Option Command Dash
Apply Region Chords to Chord Track Option Command 0
Show/Hide Chord Track Only Option Command =
If needed, See how to assign a key command in this tutorial. However, as stated above, you can update to the latest version of Logic Magician, which includes the latest version of the LogicKeyboardNinja key commands file.
