software instrument Software counterpart to hardware samplers or synthesizer modules, or acoustic sound sources such as drum kits or guitars. The sounds generated by software instruments are calculated by the computer CPU, and played via the audio interface outputs. Often colloquially called softsynths or softsamplers.

solo A way to temporarily highlight one or more tracks or regions or events, allowing them to be heard in isolation.

Solo tool Click-holding on individual regions or events with the Solo tool temporarily allows them to be heard in isolation. All other objects are muted.

stereo Short for stereophonic sound reproduction of two different audio channels. Compare with mono.

Sync button This button, found on the Transport bar, activates/deactivates external synchronization mode.

synthesizer A device (hardware or software) that is used to generate sounds. The word is derived from early attempts with mechanical and electronic machines to emulate (or synthesize) the sounds of musical instruments, voices, birdsong, and so on. Logic features several software synthesizers, including the ES1, ES2, EFM 1, ES E, ES P, and

ES M.

takes A take, put simply, is a recording. Logic allows you to create several takes, one after the other, without leaving record mode. These takes can then be compiled into a super take (see comping).

template A project that contains settings and preferences that you have defined. Templates serve as a starting point for new projects (scoring tasks, audio only projects, MIDI only projects, and so on, as your personal needs require). Any project can be used as a template, and you can create and save multiple templates.

tempo The playback speed of a piece of music, measured in beats per minute. Logic allows you to create and edit tempo changes in the Tempo track.

timing Measure of the ability to play notes at the right time. Timing can also refer to synchronization between events, regions, and devices.

Toolbar The top of the Arrange window features the Toolbar, which is used to access or hide certain onscreen areas, such as the Media or Lists area or Inspector. It also contains a number of buttons for key functions, such as Locking/Unlocking SMPTE positions. You may freely customize the Toolbar to meet your needs.

Tool menu Available in the local menu bar of a window, containing tools for editing, zooming, cropping, and otherwise manipulating items in the window.

8 specifications

The Apple iPhone 8, introduced in September 2017, marked a significant evolution in the company's smartphone lineup, bridging the design elements of the past with cutting-edge technology. The iPhone 8 brought several notable features and advancements that enhanced user experience and performance.

One of the most striking design elements of the iPhone 8 is its glass back, a departure from the aluminum unibody design of its predecessors. This transition not only provided a fresh aesthetic appeal but also enabled wireless charging, allowing users to power their devices conveniently without the need for cables. The iPhone 8 supports Qi wireless charging standards, making it compatible with a wide array of wireless charging pads.

Under the hood, the iPhone 8 is powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip, which features a six-core CPU. This powerful processor significantly improved the iPhone's speed and efficiency when compared to previous models. The A11 Bionic was designed for machine learning applications and includes a dedicated neural engine, allowing for better performance in tasks such as image recognition and augmented reality experiences.

The display of the iPhone 8 is a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, boasting True Tone technology, which adjusts the screen's white balance based on the ambient light. This feature not only enhances color accuracy but also improves comfort for users by reducing eye strain in various lighting conditions. With a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, the display delivers sharp and vibrant visuals.

Camera capabilities on the iPhone 8 also received significant upgrades. The rear 12-megapixel camera features optical image stabilization, providing clearer photos and smoother video recording, even in low light conditions. The introduction of new color filters and a larger sensor allowed for improved photo quality. The front-facing 7-megapixel camera supports 1080p HD video recording and features advanced portrait mode, offering users new ways to create professional-quality selfies.

Another important aspect of the iPhone 8 is its robust security features. The device continued to use Touch ID for biometric authentication, ensuring that users' data remained secure. Additionally, the iPhone 8 was water and dust resistant, rated IP67, which added an extra layer of durability.

In summary, the Apple iPhone 8 successfully combined innovative technology with timeless design. Its wireless charging, powerful A11 Bionic chip, enhanced camera features, and sturdy build quality made it a compelling choice for consumers looking to experience the best of Apple’s engineering prowess.
