Glossary 433
GM Abbreviation for General MIDI. A standard for MIDI sound modules that specifies a
uniform set of instrument sounds on the 128 program numbers, a standardized key
assignment for drum and percussion sounds on MIDI channel 10, 16-part multi-timbral
performance and at least 24 voice polyphony. The GM specification is designed to
ensure compatibility between MIDI devices. A musical sequence generated by a GM
instrument should play correctly on any other GM synthesizer or sound module.
grab (an object) Positioning the mouse cursor over an object, then pressing and
holding the mouse button down.
GS Extended GM standard developed by Roland Inc.
headroom An alternate term for dynamic range. See dynamic range.
help tag A small text window which appears when the mouse cursor is placed over an
interface element. It indicates the name or value of the element. When editing
operations such as moving or cutting a region are performed, a larger help tag will
display the current (and starting) position of the region or function—in real time.
hierarchical menu Structured menus that open cascading sub-menus when an
individual entry is chosen at a higher level.
high cut filter A high cut filter is essentially a lowpass filter that offers no slope or
resonance controls. As the name suggests, it attenuates frequencies above the cutoff.
highpass filter A highpass filter allows frequencies above the cutoff frequency to pass.
A highpass filter that offers no slope or resonance controls is generally known as low
cut filter.
icon Small graphic symbol. In Logic Express, an icon may be assigned to each track.
importing The process of bringing files of various types into a project. Imported files
can be created in another application, captured from another device, or taken from
another project.
Insert slot A panel on Logic Express channel strips where you can patch in (insert) an
effect plug-in.
Inspector Area at the left edge of the Logic Express Arrange and editors, containing
the Parameter boxes and channel strips (Arrange) of the selected track. Also see
Parameter boxes. The Inspector area updates to reflect the parameters relevant to the
window with key focus.
instrument channel Logic Express supports the use of software based instruments.
Software instrument plug-ins are inserted into the Instrument slot of instrument
channels.
