Live Loops
With Live Loops, you can arrange and play with musical ideas in real time in a grid of cells,
each containing a musical phrase or loop. You can start and stop cells freely while keeping
everything in sync with the beat and the project tempo. Additionally, you can record a Live
Loops performance to the Tracks area. Live Loops is designed for use in live performance,
and can be used with compatible hardware control surfaces. You can use MIDI controller
assignments to start and stop cells and scenes, record to a cell, enable performance
recording, activate key commands, and perform other functions. See Logic Pro Live Loops
overview.
Remix FX
Remix FX includes a set of buttons, sliders, and XY pads you can use to control real-time
effects commonly used in electronic and dance music. It makes it easy to scratch mix a
project, like a DJ using a turntable, to play audio in reverse, to stop or downsample the
song, and to apply a variety of other dance-oriented effects. You can also use Remix FX
together with Live Loops. See the Remix FX chapter in Logic Pro Effects.
Step Sequencer
Step Sequencer features a grid with steps you can edit to create repeating patterns.
Each row controls either a sound or an automation parameter, and each step represents a
definable length of musical time. You can easily create drum and rhythm-based patterns,
as well as instrument and melodic patterns. You can adjust a wide range of parameters
for individual steps, including velocity, pitch, gate time, and more; and edit pattern and
row settings including pattern length, loop start and end points, playback position, and
rotation. See Logic Pro Step Sequencer overview.
New drag-and-drop workflows
You can quickly create new tracks and choose one of several instrument plug-ins, insert an
instrument plug-in on a software instrument track, replace the sound for Alchemy or Quick
Sampler, create Sampler zones, and add samples to Drum Machine Designer pads using
drag and drop. See Create tracks using drag and drop in Logic Pro and Insert an instrument
plug-in on a track. Also see the Alchemy, Drum Machine Designer, Quick Sampler, and
Sampler chapters in Logic Pro Instruments for plug-in specific drag and drop workflows.
There are also drag-and-drop workflows for Live Loops.
Sampler
Sampler is a full-featured software sampler in a modern design that provides synthesis,
mapping, and zone editing areas in a single window interface. You can show and hide
different sets of controls to easily switch between synthesizer processing and sampler
instrument editing. The zone editor offers detailed control over start, end, and loop points,
while the mapping editor enables fast and flexible assignment of samples across the
keyboard. Sampler supports all existing EXS24 mkII instruments. See the Sampler chapter
in Logic Pro Instruments.
