General Improvements The Logic Express 7. 1 Update introduces the following general enhancements. Plug and Play of Audio Interfaces Logic Express 7. 1 supports plug and play for audio interfaces: it's possible to connect and switch on a new/additional audio interface while Logic Express 7. 1 is running. An alert appears when you connect a new device, and will prompt you to select and confirm the audio interface/driver that you would like to use. 1 Changes to Dialogs A number of enhancements have been made to the following Logic dialogs: · Sample Editor: Audio File > Save Selection As, Audio File > Save a Copy As. Both dialogs now allow you to set the desired sample rate, stereo conversion and dither type for the destination file. [. . . ] This folder is also used for GarageBand versions higher than 2. 0 and any additional Jam Pack libraries (higher than volume 4). ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops Used for user-created Apple Loops. Note: All Apple Loops libraries that were released before Logic Express 7. 1 (including the libraries that ship with Logic Express 7 and GarageBand 1, as well as Jam Pack libraries volumes 1 to 3) will use the following installation folder: /Library/Application Support/GarageBand. All Apple Loops that are already on your system, will remain in their original locations. For more information, please refer to the Logic Express 7 LateBreaking News. Control Surface Support In order to keep the Control Surface support current, the following control surfaces have been added: · Tascam US-2400 · Tascam FW-1082 · Frontier TranzPort · JL Cooper CS-32 · JL Cooper FaderMaster 4/100 · Korg microKONTROL · Korg KONTROL49 Note: For further information about the individual control surfaces, please refer to the Control Surfaces Support document--found in the Documentation folder on the Logic Express 7 Installation DVD. Modal Dialogs Display All modal dialogs (except file selector boxes) are now shown on control surfaces that feature text displays. All text fields are shown in the display's upper row. If the dialog text does not fit into the LCD's upper row, it will start scrolling after three seconds. You can scroll the dialog text manually with the appropriate control (see assignment tables in the Control Surfaces Support document). Once you start doing so, automatic scrolling is disabled. · If there is an Enter or OK button on the control surface, it triggers the dialog's default button, where applicable. 11 · If there is a Cancel or Exit button on the control surface, it triggers the button labeled Cancel or Abort, where applicable. · All buttons (push buttons, including Enter/default and Cancel, as well as checkboxes and radio buttons, but not pop-up buttons) are shown in the display's lower row. Pressing a control surface button below the display triggers the appropriate button/ function in the dialog, if applicable. Following use of the Enter/Cancel button on the control surface or with the mouse, the dialog will disappear, and all controls and displays will return to their previous state. Mackie Control Mode Support Logic Control, Logic Control XT, Mackie Control Universal and Mackie Control Extender (all with firmware version 1. 02 or higher) no longer need to be switched to Logic Control mode, to be recognized by Logic. If you use software that requires Mackie Control mode: 1 Switch to Mackie Control mode. (Details can be found in your control surface documentation). 2 Delete the Logic Control control surface in the Control Surfaces Setup window. 3 Turn on the power for your control surface. It will automatically be installed as a Mackie Control. The functionality of both modes (Mackie Control/Logic) is identical. Note: If you do not use software that requires Mackie Control mode, you shouldn't change anything. Mixer Windows The following enhancements have been made to the Mixer windows. Multiple Selection of Channel Strips The Multiple Selection function of channel strips in the Mixer windows has been enhanced: Clicking a channel background (without Shift held) now also allows you to select further channels by dragging over them (in the background). Hand Tool in Track Mixer and Arrange Channel Strip The Track Mixer now offers a Hand tool, which can be used to move and copy plug-ins between channel strips. 12 To move a plug-in between two Insert slots: 1 Select the Hand tool in the Track Mixer's Toolbox by clicking it. 2 Select the plug-in label and drag it to the desired target slot. During the drag and drop operation, the potential destination is displayed as an orange rectangle (empty slot) or line (when placing an effect between two Insert slots, see below). Pressing Option during dragging copies the plug-in.

If you want to transpose the pitch of a vocal line, or turn a vocal track into a "Mickey Mouse" voice--the Vocal Transformer will be your plug-in of choice. In the pop-up menu at the top of the Vocal Transformer interface you can choose between presets. With the two sliders below the menu you can modify the presets and create your own settings. [. . . ]
