Oh and for those hoping, by the looks of it, the instruments didn't receive a GUI update - and they needed it the most imho.

Btw, this is going by the manual, I don't have Logic installed so I could be wrong. Actually, I hope I'm wrong for all Logic users

They all look pretty much the same as the above, the key thing is they are vector based and can be any size you want. At the moment it seems to be just the basic fx, but hopefully the instruments like Sculpture and the more complex effects like Space Designer will be next on the list.

Yeah, I just searched in the online Logic manual for those. You could of course do that yourself

Actually, Space Designer, Delay Designer, Amp Designer, Pedalboard, and others have been retinized; check out the Multi-Meter too.

Gotta love Tremolo.

Have they? They look the same to me, but then I don't have a retina display, but they don't appear to have been vectorised like the others (maybe just higher res bitmaps then?)

what about the reverse bug in space designer? is it fixed?

Multi-threading support! WOW and YEAH, and WOW...

The MultiMeter has LUFS and several choices, similar to Nugen, iZotope, Waves, etc. It's retinized & smooth, and measures both Peak & RMS, along with Stereoization info.

The ever-useful overdrive plug now has a nice waveshape/LPF graph (just discovering things as I try various plugins...)

The transposer works again too....
Mainstage got an update too with MPE midi keyboard support for Alchemy etc.
Not sure if Logic offers the same. Well, can try it tomorrow!

New Logic Pro X update available
