David Nahmani Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Those two new tools on Logic Pro for iPad are really what brings it home IMO. I can't wait to see those added to Logic Pro for Mac. Anyone else having fun with those? 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscwilde Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Yep, agreed. They'll be great additions to LP for Mac - although much of the "fun" is around realtime interaction - kinda like Beat Remix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Oh ok! I thought I was missing one more toy! 😄 I've used Remix FX on the Mac, and I love what I can do with Step Sequencer automation. For me I believe I may use the iPad for fun and experimentations, and to throw down ideas, to later fine tune on the Mac. For example hear something that you can kind of perform with the touch screen but need to refine some automation on the Mac to make it sounds exactly the way you want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscwilde Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 My bad....it's early morning here, so not firing on all cylinders. I'm with you on the lay down some quick ideas use, but I find automation input is awesome on the iPad. Enable it and choose the paint tool....then draw. Much quicker and more intuitive and immediate for non-linear automation. Even on Logic Pro for Mac, I don't use the mouse for automation except the "bee's dick" stuff as I've used controllers for this since automation was first added - back in "the before time".👴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I've just glimpsed upon some secret production trick that's been eluding me all these years. But I'm too scared to google it... 😝 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrixx Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I just lost half and hour just playing with Beat Breaker...... must stop playing and do my work LOL. This iPad version is way better than I had expected. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It'd be interesting if someone could make a LogiPad project featuring those two plugins, and then bring that project into Logic 10.7.8 and see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totigerus Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Yeah Beat Breaker and pencil style automation are killer, but arranging my songs has been a pain. 😡 I'm also thinking I'm not crazy about Step sequencer on iPad. It's too difficult making complex drum arrangements, other than one 16 bar loop. I'm just glad there's MIDI FX in the iPad version. I was getting worried when it wasn't mentioned in the ads. 🫤 But I haven't added my iPad songs to Mac yet. I don't see how I'm gonna keep working on tracks that have missing plugins like Beat Breaker, or the third party plugs I bought on iPad that I never bought on Mac like the Moog stuff. I really don't wanna buy everything twice just for compatibility so I'm sticking with all stock stuff for now. EXCEPT BEAT BREAKER because it's too damn fun!! 😆 Edited May 26, 2023 by Totigerus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project still plays the same as on the iPad but you can't edit the two plug-ins: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Cool, nice to know the (current) behaviour in those cases! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Yes it's handled really elegantly. I can play the Sample Alchemy instrument with my keyboard, or edit the MIDI data on the region. As for Beat Breaker, I can move it to another track and it will process that track (but with the same exact settings I had dialed in on the iPad). It feels like we're really not far from having those two plug-ins included in Logic Pro. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogika Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 FWIW, the Moog iOS plugins work fine on the Mac, as well. No additional purchase needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this. I was surprised that my iPad purchase from 2 years ago works in Mac Logic. Anyways, do you know of any other plugins from the app store that work on both iPad and Mac with only one purchase?

Nola111 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 When I saw Logic 10.7.8 released a couple days ago, I was like “Yes! Beat Breaker’s GOTTA be in there!” But alas, no such luck. Here’s to hoping it’s coming very soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if someone can confirm how long it took Apple to transfer GarageBand's guitar strumming feature to Logic Remote, because to me, that would indicate SOME form of timeline here that we can expect for Logic to catch up to some of the new stuff featured in LogicPad.

Agreed! A Mac version of Sample Alchemy would be great, along with an interface for Logic Remote to take full advantage of the touch GUI. Crossing fingers! 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrdjf Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Sample Alchemy clarifies how they've hacked original Alchemy into pieces. It's like Apple took many of the advanced source editing features in original Alchemy that were missing from the Alchemy they shipped with GB for iOS (which looks a heckuva lot like the one they've shipped with LogiPad), and bundled that up as its own plugin, with a nicer touch screen UI. Insert a Phat FX and/or a Step FX after it, a couple MIDI modulators and arpeggiators in front of it, and add that other Alchemy in parallel via a track stack (voila the missing VA engine), and you almost have a serviceable Alchemy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
