Merge Channel Strip Settings in Logic Pro X Very Cool Feature [Video]
In Logic Pro X you can merge patch settings from another patch with the current patch. This has several uses: for example, you can merge effects with a patch while keeping the existing instrument, or conversely try out different instruments while preserving the existing effects setup.
The patch merging area contains buttons for four types of patch settings: MIDI effects, instruments, audio effects, and sends. By default, all four types are selected, in which case selecting a patch replaces the current patch. By deselecting some items, you can choose which patch settings are merged with the current patch. When you choose a different patch from the Library, only those settings corresponding to the selected buttons are changed, while other settings remain unaltered.
If you deselect the Sends button, the channel strip (or strips) in the patch can access the existing project auxes (or any auxes created by existing tracks/channel strips).
This video shows one way to use patch merging in Logic Pro X. Here I show you how to use an audio bass patch on a virtual instrument.
Multi-Sampled Mellotron Sound Demos [Mac, Windows]
Hark back to the heyday of classic rock and one instrument stands above the rest, a 350lb behemoth that would forever change the way we think about making music. At the heart of this monster was an array of tape machines, one per note on the attached keyboard, each playing a uniquely recorded sound. With only 8 seconds of tape per key and a cumbersome frame this machine had its limitations but was nonetheless impressive for its time, boasting a multitimbral and truly polyphonic ‘engine’. Instantly made famous by the Beatles hit ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ and used by countless others including The Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, and prog rock legends Yes, this was the ‘must-have’ sound of the 60’s. While its use fell out of fashion the implications it made have become fundamental to modern music production.
Features
◆ Pristine and comprehensive sample library from 3 original machines
◆ Mixable key and mechanical noise for authentic experience
◆ Switchable keyboard range (original or extended)
◆ Stereo modes including custom unison
◆ Switchable multimode filter with cutoff and resonance
◆ ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter with velocity sensitivity
◆ 3-band EQ with sweepable mid frequency

Size : 1.7 GB library
12 presets, 28 sounds, 2,000+ samples

All your 32-bit only plug-ins will again re-appear in the plug-ins menu as they always were.
32 Lives is currently in open beta and available for purchase for a discounted price of $69 (instead $99) for the duration of the pre-release beta stage. All beta users will be upgraded to the full release version at no extra charge.
