In some other daws it’s possible, when viewing a tracks midi, to view the other tracks midi as well. It’s usually shown in the piano roll as faded and grayed out notes.
Is their a way to do this in Logic? If not, how can I do something similar?
It appears I can’t even open multiple piano role editors at the same time...
Im using 10.5.
thanks.

When I select multiple tracks and open the piano roll there is nothing in the midi area. Selecting multiple regions seems to be the only way to display midi notes from multiple tracks.
regarding the color, different colors make distinguishing the midi notes from other tracks easier.
see the attached picture. I think this is from FL Studio, but Cubase does it too.
OK I see. Thanks. It is just I don't use color that much.
Yes it can be done in Logic. I can see different approaches. Here few pointers:
Open Logic Preferences > General. There is an option to select Regions when selecting a Track.
Right-Click on a track header. There is an option to assign a color to the track.
Local Functions menu of the track Area as option about regions and tracks colors.
In the Midi editor be sure the Link Mode is active. The small "chain" icon at the top of the editor.
Hope that helps,

That works for selecting regions on different tracks, but not for selecting a whole track.
Also, the note colors for both tracks are the same so there is nothing differentiating the notes from different regions.
thanks.
Selecting a track selects all regions on that track.
As for the color by track; I don't see the point but I'm sure other members of te Forum can provide an answer.

Thats great, thanks!
Did you try to select more than one MIDI region? Or track if you prefer.

view midi for multi tracks at once ?
