GarageBand Instruments are automatically installed with Logic Express.
GarageBand instruments are software instrument plug-ins that are used in Apple’s
GarageBand application.
You may freely use GarageBand instruments as you would other software instruments in
Logic Express.
GarageBand Instruments are actually less CPU and memory-intensive versions of equivalent
Logic Express instrument plug-ins. The GarageBand synthesizers use a cut-down version
of the ES2. Similarly, organ sounds are generated by a feature-limited EVB3, and electric
piano sounds are emulated by an instrument based on Logic Pros EVP88. Other sounds,
such as strings, brass, drum kits, and so on, make use of a simplified sample player that
is based on the EXS24 mkII.
The interface of all GarageBand instruments is limited to a few key parameters, simplifying
their use. The available parameters were carefully chosen to provide maximum impact
and flexibility, making it easy and fast to create great sounds.
The inclusion of these instruments makes it simple to import GarageBand project files
into Logic Express. After you import a GarageBand project, you will have access to the
advanced sequencing, mixing, and effect processing options in Logic Express. You can
also choose to replace the instruments in your GarageBand project with any of the
Logic Express instruments.
