Legacy instruments overview
The legacy instruments are less CPU- and memory-intensive versions of equivalent Logic Pro
instruments. All legacy instruments feature a few carefully chosen parameters that provide
maximum impact and exibility, making it easy to create great sounds.
Legacy instruments are automatically loaded when a GarageBand project is imported, or a Logic
project or MainStage concert that uses these instruments is opened.

Emulated instruments
Bass
Bass emulates electric and acoustic basses.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Filter Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping
the sound or making it brighter.

your keyboard.
Church Organ
Church Organ emulates a pipe organ.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Registration pop-up menu: Provides a number of preset registrations. Registrations are
combinations of dierent pipe organ stop (lever) settings that change the tonal character of
the sound by enabling or disabling specic pipes, thus altering the harmonics that are heard
when you play a key.
•
Bass buttons: You can activate the lower (bass) pipes with these buttons, adding these lower
harmonics, which makes your sound richer and fuller.
Note: The bass buttons are not available in all registrations.
•
Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the
sound or making it brighter.
•
Attack slider: Makes the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a
piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
•
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on
your keyboard.
