Massive Logic Pro X Update Hits Today With Live Loops More

Apple has now unleashed the latest update for its flagship music production software, Logic Pro X. And it’s a major one. As expected from a leaked screenshot late last month, the Logic Pro X 10.5 update includes some amazing new features like Live Loops, Remix FX, and much more. Head below for a closer look.

Logic Pro X Update 10.5:

Apple has issued a major new update for Logic Pro X today and one of the standout features would have to be the inclusion of Live Loops. A feature once only found in Garageband for iOS is now available inside of Apple’s professional DAW suite. Here’s more from Apple:

You can see from the release notes above, the GarageBand Remix FX — a plug-in suite of sorts that offers up DJ-style FX — is also now available in Logic Pro X alongside using Logic Remote on iOS to perform Live Loops using multi-touch gestures.

With Live Loops on the Mac, Logic users can now create music in new freeform and nonlinear ways. Loops, samples, and recordings can be organized into a new musical grid, where musicians can spontaneously perform and capture different arrangement ideas into the timeline. From there, tracks can be further refined using all of the professional production features in Logic.

Live Loops

Compose music by arranging and triggering cells in a grid using loops, samples and your recordings
Perform and capture freeform arrangement ideas into the tracks area
Add Remix FX to perform creative effects like filters, gates, repeaters and bitcrusher
Use Logic Remote on your iPad or iPhone to perform Live Loops and Remix FX using Multi-Touch gestures to trigger several loops or effects simultaneously

And whoa! A new sampler for Logic is here. What feels like 10+ years in the making has finally landed in Logic Pro X. Drag and drop sampler instrument creation from basically any source. And it “supports all existing EXS24 instruments.” Thank you Apple.

Sampler

Create and edit sophisticated multi-sampled instruments using a drag-and-drop workflow
New modern design provides synthesis, mapping and zone editing in a single window interface
Integrated zone editor offers detailed control over start, end and loop points
Mapping editor enables fast and flexible assignment of samples across the keyboard
Flex Time has been integrated into Sampler, allowing sounds to be played at the same length, regardless of pitch
Auto Sampler automates the process of converting MIDI-enabled hardware and software instruments into Sampler instruments
Supports all existing EXS24 instruments

Here’s a look at the rest of the new update notes and you can expect a full break down of Logic Pro X 10.5 coming later today:
