How the Live Loops grid and Tracks area interact in Logic Pro for iPad
On each track in Logic Pro for iPad, you can listen to either a cell in the Live Loops grid or a region in the Tracks area—never both simultaneously. When you start a cell, any regions on the same track become inactive. When you stop a cell, the regions are not immediately reactivated; you need to tap buttons in the Divider column to do this.
You can also pause cells and activate regions on the same track simultaneously. The Divider column shows stop buttons next to tracks where cells are playing. When cells are stopped, the Track Activation buttons in the Divider column indicate with a solid arrow whether the cells or regions are activated. If you have a combination of tracks with activated cells and regions, both arrows of the Track Activation button at the top of the Divider column are hollow.
When you trigger cells while the project is stopped, the playhead starts. If the playhead starts from a quantize start point, the cells start playing immediately; otherwise, they start when the playhead reaches the next quantize start point.
If the playhead reaches the Project End marker while cells are playing, the playhead stops and the cells continue playing.
If you are only using Live Loops in your project, it is recommended to turn on Cycle mode. However, it is important to turn it off when you record a Live Loops performance.
