1.1Multitrack Recorder
One of the main components of Logic fun is the MIDI multitrack recorder. You record ecord multiple tracks, as though you
were in a professional studio, and as you record the next one,
listen to the tracks that you just recorded.
Logic fun offers you many ways to alter and refine your
recorded material at a later time. You can move the tracks
around in the Arrange window, give the MIDI tracks a different
sound, or divide them into blocks (sequences). You can cut,
copy, move, transpose, or correct (quantize) rhythmically.
The three editor windows give you complete control of your
recordings. Whether you are changing the length, or dynamic

strength of a single note in the Event editor, or entering entire
scores in the Score editor—it’s all easy and fast with Logic fun.
1.2Flexible Input
There are several ways of entering notes into Logic fun. Everything is available, from real-time recording to manual note
entry; the possibilities are endless.
You can use Logic fun simply to record real-time MIDI performances, or as a conventional notation system by inputting your
scores on the screen with the mouse.
Logic fun offers you every possibility; you decide which ones to
use. You may control the program either with the mouse or the
computer keyboard; all functions can be carried out using the
mouse, and the majority can be adapted to meet your needs via
keyboard commands, which can be programmed as desired.
1.3Automatic Notation
If you prefer working in musical notation to piano roll, or event
list editing, you can edit your songs in the Score editor. There,
you can view your sequences as conventional musical notation.
You can insert, move, or transpose notes easily using the mouse.
Logic fun offers a range of functions with which you can adapt

Of course you can also print out your songs.You can also create
a PostScript file, and continue to edit the scores which were
created in Logic fun, with word-processing or layout programs.
1.4GM Supported
If you use a GM-compatible tone generator connected to your
computer, you can control its functions remotely from the
Mixer window. Selecting sounds, controlling the volume, or
adding chorus or reverb etc. is as easy as can be. Logic fun also
supports the GS- (Roland), or the XG standard (Yamaha). With
these devices, more sound and effect parameters can be
remote-controlled, for example, the filter frequency.
The Mixer thus becomes your virtual mixing console on screen,
allowing you to automate your GM device from Logic fun.
1.5Multimedia
Logic fun can load and play digital videos in FunI format
(Windows) or QuickTime format (Macintosh). The picture
runs synchronously with Logic fun’s song position. You can add

frame.
1.6Graphical Interface
Logic fun features a clearly structured graphical user interface.
All operations can be done quickly and directly, using the
mouse.
You can open the windows, and place them anywhere on the
screen. You can adjust all elements in the windows as you like;
the windows can be enlarged or reduced. To make the most of
your screen, you can open as many windows simultaneously as
you want. Next to the track list in the Arrange window, for
example, you can simultaneously open an Event list and Score
editor for the same material.
As Logic fun plays the song for you, the notes e.g. are displayed
in the Score Window. Whatever you hear, you see at the same
time. If there is a wrong note, just fix it, while Logic fun continues to run. It does not get any easier than this.
Logic fun’s menus are well organized and make sure that you
only see the functions that you may need. This way, the menu
lists remain orderly, and you can find whatever function you
need faster.

Sound Cards and
MIDI
Sound Card
Your sound card must support the 16bit/44.1kHz standard (“CD
quality”). Recording at lower than 16bit resolution is not possible, due to Logic fun’s professional audio quality requirements.
This also applies to the 44.1kHz sampling rate. Other sampling
rates are not supported.
Full duplex or Overdub Mode
Ensure that your chosen sound card supports “full duplex” or
“overdub” mode. “Full duplex” means that the soundcard is
able to record, while playing back at the same time. This ability
is really mandatory, even for the most basic of recording applications.
If you are still undecided on which soundcard to choose for your
system, its full duplex ability should be one of the most important considerations.
If your current card does not support full duplex, you may be
able to upgrade it using a more recent driver (depending on the
hardware, of course). Be sure however, that it meets the 16bit/
44.1kHz requirements for both recording and playback.
If your card supports full duplex, but only allows recording at
lower than 16bit resolution, your recordings will suffer from
poor sound quality. In this case you should disable full duplex
operation using the “Logic Audio Device Setup” program (see
page 26). This does mean that simultaneous playback is now
disabled during recording, but Logic fun will now record at the
full 16bit resolution—you really owe it to your ears.

Hard Disk
In order to successfully use Logic fun with audio hardware, you
need a hard disk with an average access time no greater than
10ms , and a minimum data throughput of 3MB/s.
Modern hard disk drives generally meet these requirements
and do not need any further attention in this regard.
Input Source and Level
Monitors & Sound Control Panel
To use the Logic fun AV functions, you need to select an audio
input source from the control panel, and set the sample rate to
44.1kHz. If you are using the older control panel “Sound”, you
also need to select “16 bit” and “Stereo”, and make sure that
the sampling rate of 44.1kHz is selected. You cannot operate
the system with 22.5kHz sampling rate or 8 bit depth.
TM
Volume
The Volume sliders in the Monitors & Sound control panel are
placed after Logic fun’s output (output object). This means
that Logic fun’s output object can only control the full output
dynamic range if the Volume slider in the control panel is set to

input or output is too low.
Volume Control
The Windows Accessory program “Volume Control” provides
control of the following:
Playback Level
•
Record (input) Level
•
Input source selection

It can be found via the Start menu: Start > Programs > Acces-
sories > Multimedia > Volume Control, or on Windows 98 via
Start > Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume
Control.
As an example, this illustration shows the control panel using
the SoundBlaster AWE-32 sound card, by CreativeLabs. You
will find similar utilities for hardware from other manufacturers.
The playback level of recordings is controlled via the “Wave”
slider.
This control is placed after Logic fun’s output (output object).
This means that Logic fun’s output object can only control the
full output dynamic range if this slider is set to maximum.
You can also change to an independent mixer control that
allows you to set the input level for each input source via
Options > Properties > Recording.

Sound Cards and MIDI
Disable each input source that you don’t plan to record from
(usually everything except the line-in).
The line-in will usually give the best results. Make sure you
avoid the sound card’s microphone input, especially with
cheaper cards. It is a better idea to use an external mic preamplifier, such as that on a mixing desk, and then record via the
line input.
The Volume control can be accessed more easily if you check
the option Show Volume Control on Taskbar in Control Panel >
MultiMedia > Audio—this will place a loudspeaker icon on the
taskbar, which will reveal a master volume control with a single
click, while a double click will open the complete mixer.
Logic Audio Device Setup
The tool “Logic fun Audio Device Setup” (LADS), which can
be activated from the Logic folder in the Windows Start menu, is
of essential importance for the best possible setup of your audio
hardware in Logic fun. Although Logic fun usually recognizes
most of the currently available sound and audio recording cards,
it is still better in most cases to optimize Logic fun to your individual audio setup, by using LADS. This is especially true, if
several sound cards or a Multi-I/O card are installed in your
computer.
Hint
Hint
Since LADS is automatically run during Logic fun’s installation, you only have to start
it separately if you encounter problems concerning the communication between
Logic fun and your audio hardware, or after you have installed new hardware.
LADS—What It Is
LADS helps you to take care of the following tasks:
Determining whether the installed audio hardware has been
•
recognized correctly by the system.
