This method was more like a relational database than a modern computer sequencer. There was no timeline, no timeline-based looping of selections, and no arrange page. Like Notator, Vision, and several other of the early MIDI sequencers, it was pattern-based. Today, Logic still only exists on the Apple platform and is widely regarded as one of the most popular DAWS available.
#APPLE LOGIC STUDIO 10 SOFTWARE#
In 2002, Apple bought the software and discontinued all Windows based support for the program. Emagic quickly dropped the “Notator” from the name and was redesigned with a new look and called Emagic Logic. Notator Logic was launched in 1992 for both Atari, Macintosh and Windows. Creator was followed by Notator, which ran on the Atari ST platform.
Emagic, a software company based in Germany, was known for its early music sequencer called “Creator”.
#APPLE LOGIC STUDIO 10 PRO#
^ 'Logic Pro X 10.4 release notes - Apple Support'.in Addition, Logic now supports ARA (Audio Random Access Standard See also References The current version is Logic 10.4.4, where 10.4 introduced a new reverb called Chromaverb, and new functionality like Smart Tempo, as well as the option to undo mixer actions. Coinciding with the release of Logic Pro X was the release of a companion iPad app called Logic Remote, which allows wireless control of Logic Pro X, including Touch Instruments for playing and recording software instruments as well as tools for navigating, making basic edits and mixing. Further improvements were made to score editing, exporting (now compatible with MusicXML format), and introduces MIDI plug-in compatibility. In addition to this organization, Logic Pro X allows individuals to trigger 'solo,' 'mute,' and 'volume' controls for each group. Logic Pro X has also improved track organization by allowing users to group multiple tracks into 'folder' like categories (e.g., acoustics, synthesizers, vocals, percussion, etc.).
#APPLE LOGIC STUDIO 10 PATCH#
A completely rebuilt sound and loop library was introduced, along with a new Patch architecture. Redesigned keyboards and synths were included, together with new stomp boxes, bass amp and drum kit designers, and a chord arpeggiator. Also, a new 'Smart Controls' feature allows users to map parameters from an array of plugins to a single, convenient control interface. New tools in this release are Drummer, a virtual session player that automatically plays along with your song in a wide variety of drumming styles and techniques, and Flex Pitch, a Flex Time equivalent for pitch editing in audio recordings. Released as successor to Logic Pro 9 on July 16, 2013, Logic Pro X (10.0.0) included a new, single-window customizable interface, with a design in line with Final Cut Pro X, as well as new features.
As Apple has bundled so many software instruments with Logic, it is not likely that we'll see the return of integration with external synthesizer hardware to the Logic platform. SoundDiver, which had been quietly bundled with previous versions, was dropped, eliminating support for arguably the world's most popular synthesizer editor/librarian. Logic Pro 9 is Universal Binary, although not officially supported for use on PowerPC computers. Some of the bundled software, including MainStage 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3, was also improved. There were also a number of improvements to audio editing, fulfilled user requests such as 'bounce in place' and selective track and channel strip import, as well as an expanded content library including one more Jam Pack. A version of the pedalboard from GarageBand was included, together with a new virtual guitar amplifier where the modeled components could be combined in different ways. A major new feature included 'Flex Time', Apple's take on 'elastic' audio, which allows audio to be quantized. On July 23, 2009, Logic Pro 9 was announced.
