Velocity colors in piano roll

Hello every/anybody,

I am stuck here: is it not possible to customize the colors used for velocities in the piano roll?
I cannot seem to find any reference to it in the manual, nor can I find a map of the colors as logic uses them, nor can I find anything on this forum... am I just overlooking something obvious...? The velocitycolors in Score are not related to those in the P-roll editor, that much I found out...

regards, Erik.

That program is 7 years old, why are you even mentioning it?

(for my personal expirience is Like a "trade Mark of Logic")

Did you ever consider you may have a limited personal experience?
Just like everyone else.

It's certainly not a trademark of Logic. There's far more options
available and have been for some time.

Bacause in Logic 3 (about 13/14 Years ago) you can see the same colors that are on Logic 8 now... in 2008!!!
Because Until Logic 7 I can Open my Notator/creator songs that I have composed in 1988!!!... this is Logic!!!

that's why I talk about a Trade Mark of Logic 🙂
my words must be understood as purely metaphorical ... but they are supported by historical evidence

please... don't take me so wrong...

I just talk about my experience...
this is a problem for you?

If this is a problem for you... I'm sorry... but that it is!

I hope NO!
Because I understand....
English is not My Native Lenguage...
But I understand the target of this kind of unuseful question!!!

Colors... HA HA HA!!!

Logic is the grand father of all computer sequencer!!!

Don't get me wrong Pancenter, please

I use Cubase
I'm not accustomed...

I make My choice after many years of working with ALL DAWS!!!

but why you want use Logic like as cubase???

this is not the rigth way...
this kind of questions are tipical...
only people that comes from cubase do always questions like that!

With Logic you can do Everything the same as cubase and you can get more great sound more power resource more faster workflow!!!

you can do everything in a different way... in a faster way, but you need to read the Manual and set your Key Commands.. there are no limitation...
you will get only advantage by using Logic way!

First you Assume Things and you Speculate
you seem to know what Im and others are thinking
then Flame people for there Idea's and opinions,

you are a Forum Bully.

I dont understand this right way Logic way attitude,
we as Customers are the ones who pay and use a product
we put are input in to the devolvement, I didn't come from Cubase
that is your assumption, your Belief,
I use Cubase at Work.
you dont know me! or anything about my working ways
in Logic or Cubase.
So don't come on here and flame me.
You said
this is not the right way?
what is the right way you mean ther is a rule
in the way a DaW is develop,
Apple wants to give us the best Daw ther is,
and if Customers ask for things that would make the
work flow more better for them, than Apple will
Apple Logic will go forward.

I have my opinions and Ideas, I dont tell people
that Im right,

I don't think Fermusic is actually a bully, it's just that he thinks everyone should work like he does, some of it may be a language barrier, if that's the case he may want to consider his replies and be a bit more thoughtful of others.

He's certainly not doing any good for Logic by having such a limited view.
"I Am Right, you are wrong" never wins people over.

Yes the Language Barrier that is a very good point, and to be fair to Fermusic
thankyou.

Aug 12, 2008 2:55 AM in response to Community User

I said only that using Logic by transfering the same method of work that you are familiar with Cubase is not the best approach to obtain the maximum performance in Logic!
So, there is a "Cubase way" and a "Logic way"
They are 2 different Daws
I cannot use Logic way on Cubase...
you cannot use Cubase way on Logic....

The better way should be to spend a little bit of time to learn how your prefered DAW works!

it is an advice and is not directed personally to anyone ...
it is only general purpose...

I hope to be helpful for someone

No it's not...

First of all, you didn't answer his question but instead went on a rant about how you should use Logic. the original poster never mentioned Cubase. Go look at the first messages.

I hope to be helpful for someone

Obviously it was not helpful, plus, you are wrong, there are DAWs with customizable color schemes. There's no need to be a Logic evangelist, the program can stand on it's own.

The original post mentioned a Specific Cubase Feature...
and I Just answer the question!

The Logic velocity colors are in harmony with the Universe and are always the same from over than 15 Years until Now!

There is no reason to change that (My personal opinion is only a loosing creative time)

The only reason is: to make Logic a little bit similar as Cubase?
It is not a useful features!
it is not an advantage for sound quality!
Why spend money for change that when there are many new advanced and useful features that can be added a faster way to work?
(Logic must remain compatibile with previous version... THIS IS THE FIRST IMPORTANT MISSING FEATURES IN LOGIC 8!!!!)

this is a really unuseful question ...this is my personal opinion about that!

feel free to explain your point about that... I just do that without any personal
you are welcome!

I do not think he had failed to respect as anyone (but someone not give to me the same respect)
and if someone feels offended by my words ... I apologise to him ... but I do not understand why this reaction ...
but perhaps the name of someone could be Cubase?

I Apologize to Cubase!
I have payed for it
I work with cubase too!

Sorry I don't understamd your Language

+The original post mentioned a Specific Cubase Feature...+
+and I Just answer the question.+

You could just have said, "No, it is not possible."

+The Logic velocity colors are in harmony with the Universe and are always the same from over than 15 Years until Now!+

Firstly, you DON'T KNOW the universe. The colors are perhaps in accordance with the spectrum AS WE PEOPLE THINK we know it. This 'universe' is YOUR universe.
They 'make sense'.

+There is no reason to change that (My personal opinion is only a loosing creative time)+

FOR YOU there is no reason to change that. But it is not about you, and neither is your way the "only right way". And since it is already possible to assign

+The only reason is: to make Logic a little bit similar as Cubase?+

Are you some sort of paranoid about the wrong things?

+It is not a useful features!+

Who are you? God?

+it is not an advantage for sound quality!]+

What is your REAL problem? That no-one listens? Anymore?

+Why spend money for change that when there are many new advanced and useful features that can be added a faster way to work?+

Spend money? Who spends money? You mean the half hour job at Apple/Emagic for the student programmer to integrate this tiny feature? ROTFL.

+(Logic must remain compatibile with previous version... THIS IS THE FIRST IMPORTANT MISSING FEATURES IN LOGIC 8!!!!)+

Your are a confused man... "first important missing feature"... where earlier your verdict was: 'it is not a useful feature'.

+this is a really unuseful question ...this is my personal opinion about that!+

But you just said it was the first important... o, forget it.

+...but I do not understand why this reaction ...+

I do. You come across as a pushy and arrogant man. It may be that your English has some dropouts that no soundengineer would tolerate in his material. So I suggest you brush up on your english.

+but perhaps the name of someone could be Cubase?+

you are either failing to be funny or a raving loonie.

+I Apologize to Cubase!+

my reply was referring to Pancenter ...
but now seems to be targeted by too many people ...

I am one against all?

I answer only this:
you really believe that this is the case?

I do not understand just because I think I have not insulted anybody!
!
...or my views about cubase is an offense for you?

It is just my opnion
I am alive ...
That's why I answer.

Thanks soo much!

fermusic, I truly think they just misunderstood you. Your writing is very passionate! Which is a good thing IMO, but it's easily mistaken for inflammatory. Reading enough of your other posts I know you are honestly here to help others.

The real intention is a good one and that's what counts.

I think the problem comes from stating his ideas in absolutes, black or white.
Real world scenarios are seldom so.
He doesn't seem to get people work in many different ways, what works for him
may not necessarily be right for others.
