If you saw yesterday ipad-at-palooza-event From Apple, you’ve probably seen the clip about the cool new features in the iPad version of Logic Pro, Apple’s professional audio recording software. What the event didn’t make clear, is that the Mac version of Logic Pro will have the same features and that both the Mac and iPad versions will be renumbered. After many years, the Mac version of Logic Pro has been updated from X (ten) to 11, while the latest iPad version has been increased to 2.
Both versions will be released on May 13 and both are free upgrades for existing users. (Anyway – iPad users have to pay a subscription fee to access Logic Pro, but if you pay, you get the upgrade. This has led many people online to speculate that Apple will switch the Mac version of Logic to a similar subscription model. Thank goodness (it still does no.)
Both versions get identical new features, which were briefly discussed in Apple’s event video. But thank you very much Press release Apple released its own update after the event Apple Logik-HomepageNow we have a better idea of ​​what these features are, what systems they require, and how much Apple is contributing to AI. We also get a few pictures.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere
One of Logic’s great features is the drummer, a production player who can play in a variety of styles, follow recorded tracks, and provide many fills and other human variations. For a tool that comes free with your digital audio workstation, it’s a great product and has seen many quality-of-life improvements over the past decade, including a production suite that lets you control every single percussion element. But what we haven’t seen in 10 years is… neu Generative session triggers, especially for bass and keys.
The wait is over as Apple adds a bass and keyboard player to Logic. According to Apple, the new bass player was “trained in collaboration with today’s best bass players using advanced AI and sampling techniques.” Logic Studio comes with Bass, a set of six new musical instruments.
Keyboard players work similarly and get a new Studio Piano plugin that offers features that paid virtual instruments also offer (multiple microphone positions, pedal and key sound control, sympathetic resonance and release sampling). According to Apple, the keyboard player can handle everything from “simple block extended harmonies to bowed vocals – with nearly endless variations.”

The secret to a drummer’s success is how easy it is to connect to a basic drum pattern. Identify a drummer who plays your style, choose the kit you like, then choose a variation. Then just put a dot on a large trackpad-style display that balances complexity and size, and you’ve got something usable and complete with filling. Bass and keyboard players obviously can’t work this way, but Apple is bringing a feature found in few other DAWs to power its two new session players: chord tracks.
