Apple mainstage require logi pro12/31/2023 ![]() But it’s usable for sound design, and playing on the touchscreen is a perfect match – plus, if you get a USB-C hub, you can easily connect a proper pair of headphones and some kind of expressive controller.Īlchemy is there, too. While I don’t miss the convoluted desktop UI, I am sad that the visualization of the string and model are gone – you get basically a dump of parameters. ![]() What’s mind-blowing is the ability to run instruments like Sculpture right on the iPad. You can easily get lost in the preset browser, but if you just want to navigate the Logic device groupings, they’re tucked behind that disclosure (…) button in the bottom right of MIDI and Audio – or you can bring it up from a track. But I find the easiest way to bring up the instrument devices directly, in their init state, is to create a new track, then tap the (…) disclosure button: You can do that by navigating Instrument Patches and Plug-in Presets. Note that to get at these, you need to navigate the track creation dialog. (It’s quite a lot like Ableton Live – and like the Elisabeth Homeland custom skins for Live we’ve seen recently.) Plus there are Mini Plug-in Tiles, new condensed UI elements – something I hope we see the Mac version adopt, too. Internal instruments and effects get their own complete “detail” interface with most (and sometimes all) of what you have on the desktop. That means you can load up patches and play with them on the go – or even edit patches and patterns on the go and bring them back to your Mac to finish. With any of these instruments, you also have bi-directional file exchange with Logic on the Mac. Drum Synth and Drum Machine Designer nicely replace it in conjunction with the new step sequencer and midi effect tools. What’s missing? Literally just UltraBeat, the now-antiquated drum machine. Quick Sampler is an ideal match for a touchscreen. With the exception of some limited UIs (as in Alchemy), most have full parameters available, if sometimes in a different UI presentation (see Sculpture). ![]() Heck, Klopfgeist (the metronome – literally means “knocking ghost”) and the Test Oscillator are even in there. Here’s which is which, based on the documentation:įull editing (updated iPadOS UIs in bold): Drum Machine Designer (with full UI and an enhanced Play Surface), Drum Synth, EFM1 (with MPE support!), ES E, ES M, ES P, ES1, ES2 (with, like 50 pages of manual docs), EVOC 20 PS, Quick Sampler, Retro Synth, Sample Alchemy (updated UI), Sculpture, all Studio instruments (with keyswitch editing, etc.) But they’re not the full editable versions on the iPad, at least not yet. That doesn’t mean they’re factory preset players, so long as you have the Mac version of Logic – you can create your own patches, too – and they still offer some tweakability. But some are “playback”-based, meaning you have limited parameter editing on iPadOS – all have at least some “performance” controls, but not editing.
