Logic Pro Reference (Offline)

Example session (illustrative; exact names, ranges and page numbers come from your own harvested copy of Apple's guides).

One-time setup (already done here)
python3 kit/harvest.py built the local corpus from the four Logic Pro guide PDFs you downloaded from Apple. No network was used.

1. Compressor parameters
I ran python3 kit/params.py "Compressor". It returned one record per documented control, each with:

• the control name exactly as Apple's Effects guide prints it
• its type (knob, slider, menu, button)
• its range or list of choices
• the printed page number to check it against
  I'll use these exact names when I set up the automation, so nothing is guessed.

2. Latch automation mode
I ran python3 kit/lookup.py "Latch". The top match is the User Guide's automation modes topic, with its page number. In my own words: Latch starts writing when you touch a control and keeps writing its last value after you let go, until playback stops. Touch, by contrast, returns to the existing automation when you release.

Why this matters
Every answer above comes from the documentation on your disk, not from memory, and each one carries a page number you can open.

Next steps

• Ask for any plug-in, instrument or control surface by name.
• Pipe the parameter list into your automation or scripting step.
