Finger tool Tool (as used in the Piano Roll Editor, for example) that looks like a hand with an extended index finger. This tool allows you to manipulate the length of events or perform other operations in other areas of the program.

FireWire Apple trademarked name for the IEEE 1394 standard. A fast and versatile serial interface, often used to connect audio interfaces, and audio processing units to computers. FireWire is well suited to applications that move large amounts of data, and can be used to connect hard disks, scanners, and other kinds of computer peripherals. There are two versions of FireWire: FireWire 400 and FireWire 800. The latter is a faster variant, which uses a different connector type. Use of FireWire 400 devices on a FireWire 800 port is possible with suitable cabling, but it effectively halves the bandwidth to all devices on the port.

folder A folder is a container for regions in the Arrange. It can contain other folders or regions, much like a folder in the Finder can contain other folders or files. You can imagine a folder as a project within a project. The inside of a folder looks just like the Arrange area and track list in a project.

frequency The number of times a sound signal vibrates each second, measured in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).

Glue tool This tool can be used to merge regions or events by simply clicking on two (or more) of them.

grab (an object) Positioning the mouse cursor over an object, then pressing and holding the mouse button down.

grid The Logic grid is represented by vertical lines that are used to indicate the positions of measures, beats, and sub-beats in various editors.

help tag A small text window which appears when the mouse cursor is placed over an interface element. It indicates the name or value of the element. When editing operations such as moving or cutting a region are performed, a larger help tag will display the current (and starting) position of the region or function—in real time.

Hyper Editor Graphical editor that can be used to create or edit MIDI note and controller data. The Hyper Editor is ideal for drawing drum parts and creating crescendi, amongst other tasks.

icon Small graphic symbol. In Logic, an icon may be assigned to each track.

importing The process of bringing files of various types into a Logic project. Imported files can be created in another application, captured from another device, or taken from another Logic project.

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.
