Support of Generator Audio Units Plug-ins
Logic Pro supports the Generators Audio Units plug-in type. As the name suggests,
these Audio Units plug-ins generate audio signals. In contrast to Audio Units
Instruments, however, they do not require a MIDI signal. All Audio Units Generator
plug-ins installed on your system can be found in the respective AU Instrument menu’s
Mono/Stereo/Multichannel > Generators sub menu.
This means that you can choose between three different types of Audio Units plug-ins
(provided you have suitable plug-ins installed on your system) in the Instrument menu:
 AU Generators
 AU MIDI Controlled Effects: As these effects can be controlled via MIDI, they are
inserted into the Instrument slot of Audio Instrument Objects. The audio signal that
you would like to process is then selected via the plug-in’s Side Chain menu.
 AU Instruments
Replacing Setting-Compatible Plug-ins
When you replace a plug-in with another plug-in that is setting-compatible, the new
plug-in automatically uses the setting of the replaced plug-in.
As an example: When you replace the Channel EQ with the Linear Phase EQ, the
inserted Linear Phase EQ uses the same setting as the replaced Channel EQ. The same
is true if you replace an ES2-based GarageBand instrument with the ES2. It also works
for most EXS-based GarageBand instruments (exceptions: Hybrid Morph and Hybrid
Basic).
Ultrabeat
The following updates the information in the Ultrabeat chapter of the Logic Pro 7
Plug-In Reference.
Importing Drum Voices and Sequences
Ultrabeat allows you to import drum voices and sequences from other Ultrabeat
settings into your currently active drum kit. This can be done by clicking on the Import
button in the upper area of the Ultrabeat interface.
Use the ensuing file selector box to open the desired Ultrabeat setting that you wish to
import drum voices and sequences from.
