A Apple released updates today for the Logic Pro (version 11.1) and for the Logic Pro for iPad (2.1). With the update, both apps gained the Quantec Room Simulatorwhich provides original algorithms and codes for Wolfgang Buchleitner (founder of Quantec) in a plugin format.
According to Apple, Quantec Room Simulator lets you choose Yardstic with enhanced room simulation algorithms, which allow you to model acoustic spaces with more precision, clarity and detail.
The plugin also allows you to add the sounds of Quantec’s hardware reverberators, as well as select vintage QRS to “add a natural acoustic space to the music while preserving its sonic characteristics.”
Specifically in the iPad app, improvements were made to the sound browser with Sample Folders:
- Preview samples and drag and drop to create drum kits, sample instruments, or add directly to a track.
- Access your sample collection directly from Logic’s built-in sound browser.
- Add sample folders from iPad, external storage, and iCloud Drive.
- Use multiple folders to provide an organized view of your favorite samples.
- Simplify complex folder hierarchies into a single, easy-to-navigate list.
On macOS, the exclusive new feature is the plugin search.
- Search by category, manufacturer name, or even part of the plugin name.
- Search and add any plugin directly from the plugin menu.
- Use the search and add plug-ins key commands to quickly find and add plug-ins without even clicking where to insert the channel strip.
The two apps also allow you to download a new sound pack called Modular Melodies, which has hundreds of loops created from physical synthesizers and a collection of patches designed on the Alchemy synthesizer.
Both also gained simpler fixes and improvements, such as new gestures, keyboard shortcuts and greater system integration.
Finally, the Logic Remote has been updated to version 1.5.6 with stability improvements and bug fixes.
Logic Pro for Mac costs R$1,000 on the Mac App Store. The new version requires at least macOS Sonoma 14.4.
