Studio Strings
Logic Pro Studio Strings overview
Studio Strings provides a collection of highly expressive single and section stringed
instruments. It has a simple, clean interface, with all main controls at hand. Additional
controls enable you to customize Studio Strings to match your preferences and to work
best with your controllers. See Logic Pro Studio Strings extended parameters.
Studio Strings instruments feature a large collection of samples that cover different playing
styles, such as sustain, staccato, or falls. These playing styles, called articulations, are
chosen in the plug-in header. You can also switch articulations remotely with keyswitches.
Default section and single instrument keyswitches are covered in Logic Pro Studio Strings
keyswitch mapping.
Studio Strings parameters
Preset pop-up menu: Choose a solo or section instrument.
You can use MIDI channel events to control section instruments. If you want to play
specific instruments in a section, you can send MIDI messages on their respective
channels, then add a list of channel assignments. See Logic Pro studio instruments
section MIDI channels.
Monophonic button: Turn on monophonic mode for solo instruments.
Auto Voice Split button: When on, chords played on the keyboard are automatically
assigned to different instruments or instrument groups, or “voices” in the section.
Depending on the size and type of section, a voice can consist of one or multiple
instruments. This mimics the distribution of notes (voicings) among players, based on
what instrument group is best suited to a particular note range, for example. See Logic
Pro Studio Strings extended parameters for details about additional Auto Voice Split
functions.
Note: When Auto Voice Split is off, String sections are split by key ranges, with each
string instrument within the section spanning a specific key range, and no layered
instruments.
Dynamics via CC button: Turn on to enable control of an instrument’s dynamics (soft-
loud) and timbre in real time. Additional dynamic control and mapping functions are
available in the extended parameters.
Last Played Articulation field: Displays the most recently used articulation. This may be
different to the articulation shown in the plug-in header.
