score set A saved collection of multiple staff styles, staffs, and other elements shown in
the Score Editor. You can use score sets to quickly switch between (and edit and print)
different portions of the score—such as a brass section—separately from the entire score.
It also simplifies experimentation with different layouts.
screen control Each Smart Control has a set of screen controls. Adjusting a screen control
can change one or more parameters of the track’s channel strip, instrument, and effect
plug-ins. Screen controls are labeled to help you understand which aspect of the sound
each one affects. See also Smart Control.
screenset A layout of various windows, including all display parameters (zoom, position,
size, and so on). You can save, recall, and switch between different screensets, much as
you might swap between different computer monitors.
scrubWhen you scrub a project, you quickly audition the project, or a part of it, by moving
the playhead across the Tracks area. For more information, see Scrub a Logic Pro project.
SDII Short for Sound Designer II. An audio file format very similar in structure to the AIFF
file format.
selection-based processingIn the Tracks area, you can apply audio effect plug-ins to
individual audio regions and to marquee selections of audio regions. You can preview the
result and make further adjustments before applying the resulting changes to the selection.
self-oscillation A typical characteristic of analog filter circuits that occurs when the
filter, at high resonance values, feeds back into itself and begins to oscillate at its natural
frequency.
semitone The smallest interval between two pitches in the standard diatonic scale. A
semitone is also called a half step or half tone.
send Short for aux send. An output on an audio device used for routing a controlled
amount of the signal to another device. Sends are often used to send several signals to
the same effect, letting you use computationally intensive effects such as reverb more
efficiently.
Send slot A panel on mixer channel strips used to send (via a bus) some or all of the audio
signal to an aux channel strip. You can use multiple sends on channels.
sequencer A computer app used to record both audio and MIDI data and blend the sounds
together in a software mixing console. Early sequencers controlled synthesizers via a
series of control voltages and gates, or via MIDI only. No audio recording or control was
available. See also DAW.
setting 1) A parameter value. 2) A set of plug-in parameter values that can be loaded,
saved, copied, or pasted via the Settings pop-up menu. A plug-in setting is also known as
a preset. See also preset, Setting button, and Settings pop-up menu.
Setting button A panel on mixer channel strips used to load, copy, and save channel strip
settings. These settings contain setup information for a channel strip, including plug-ins.
Settings pop-up menu The menu in the gray header at the top of all plug-in windows
used to save, load, copy, and paste settings (the parameter values of effects and software
instruments).
sharing Refers to the process of distributing your projects. Logic Pro provides several
options: the Media Browser, iTunes, SoundCloud, XML, MusicXML, and others.
