Add Apple Loops to your Logic Pro for iPad project

• In Logic Pro, tap the Browser button , then tap Loops.

1. In Loops view in the Browser in Logic Pro, tap the Preview button to the left of the loop name.

2. Tap the Preview Volume button at the bottom of the Browser, then drag the Volume slider to adjust the volume of the loop you’re listening to.

3. Tap the Preview button again to stop the preview.

In Logic Pro, you can filter loops in the Browser list to show loops of only a particular type: audio, MIDI, pattern, or Session Player.

1. In Loops view in the Browser, tap the All Filters button .

2. In the Type category, choose one or more loop types.

In Logic Pro, you can filter loops in the Browser list by various musical properties, including feel, key signature, part, swing, time signature, and tonality.

1. In Loops view in the Browser, tap the All Filters button .

2. In the Musical Properties category, choose one or more musical properties.

• In Loops view in the Browser in Logic Pro, touch and hold a loop, then do one of the following:

  • Drag a loop to an empty area of the Tracks area, below the existing tracks.

    A new track of the appropriate type (audio or software instrument) is created, and the loop is added to the new track.

  • Drag an audio loop (blue) to an audio track.

  • Drag a MIDI loop (green), a pattern loop (violet), or a Session Player loop (yellow) to a software instrument track.

  • Drag a MIDI loop (green), a pattern loop (violet), or a Session Player loop (yellow) to an audio track to convert it to an audio loop.

In Logic Pro, many Apple Loops contain chords that you can use in your project. If you add loops with chords to the tracks area, you can keep the chords in the resulting region or add them to the Chord track to quickly create a harmonic structure for Session Players.

Apple Loops with chords have the Chord symbol under the loop name in the Browser. See Intro to chords.

• In Loops view in the Browser in Logic Pro, tap the More button , tap Loop Chords, then choose one of the following options:

  • Keep Region Chords: When you drag an Apple Loop with chords to the Tracks area, it follows the region chords it contains.

  • Replace Global Chords with Region Chords: When you drag an Apple Loop with chords to the Tracks area, the region chords contained in the loop are pasted to the Chord track at the position where you drag the loop.

  • Automatic: When you drag an Apple Loop with chords to the Tracks area and there are no chords on the global Chord track at the position where you drag the loop, the region chords are added to the global Chord track at that position. If chords already exist on the Chord track at the position where you drag the loop, the loop follows its region chords. Session Player loops are an exception; If chords exist on the Chord track at the position where you drag a Session Player loop, they follow the chords on the Chord track.

• In the Browser in Logic Pro, tap a loop to select it, tap the More button , then tap New Track with Loop.

  A new track is created, and the loop is placed on the track at the beginning of the project.

1. In Logic Pro, select the track where you want to place the loop.

2. Place the playhead where you want the loop to start.

3. In the Browser, tap a loop to select it, tap the More button , then tap Place Loop at Playhead.

1. In the Browser in Logic Pro, touch and hold a loop, then drag it to the empty area below the last track header.

2. Tap Sample Alchemy, Quick Sampler, or Drum Machine Designer in the “Create new track with” dialog that appears.
