It’s not just Dolby you know
Some of the most impressive new ‘other’ additions to Logic Pro 10.7 include updates to the Step Sequencer introduced in 10.5. Live recording is the main one – and something we confess we thought it already had. Here you can add beats using the keyboard or external controller. It’s easy to use and includes useful note velocity, quantise and length options. There’s also a new real-time step mode that lets you input notes more easily, plus a mono mode for entering non-overlapping basslines (for example). Other Step Sequencer additions include automation and note pitch options and all of these extras make SS one of the highlights of the new Logic Pro and one feature alone that other developers would have introduced in an integer update.
10.7 also adds those 2800 samples from famous producers as Producer Packs (also added in GarageBand earlier this year) which you can load individually from Logic’s library or check out as Starter Grids. You get demo songs too – actually almost complete songs – something started at Pro X and most famously delivered at 10.5 with Billie Eilish’s Ocean Eyes. This time you get a couple of versions of Lil Nas X’s track Montero, one a spatial mix, which you can fully explore which is both educational and a little creepy…
