side chain A side chain is effectively an alternate input signal—usually routed into an effect—that is used to control an effect parameter. As an example, you could use a side chained track containing a drum loop to act as the control signal for a gate inserted on a sustained pad track, creating a rhythmic gating effect of the pad sound. Signature track Global track that shows all time and key signatures of a project. Signature List A Logic Pro window that lists all time and key signatures of a project. Single Trigger mode This term is associated with synthesizers such as the ES1. In this mode, envelopes are not retriggered when tied (legato) notes are played. SMF See Standard MIDI File. SMPTE Abbreviation for Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The organization responsible for establishing a synchronization system that divides time into hours, minutes, seconds, frames, and subframes (SMPTE time code). SMPTE time code is also used for synchronizing different devices. The MIDI equivalent of SMPTE time code is MIDI Time Code (MTC). See MTC. SMPTE ruler In addition to the standard bar/beat display, the Logic Pro Bar ruler can display time units in SMPTE format: hours, minutes, seconds, and frames, and can display time code if a video is imported into the project. Snap menu A pop-up menu found in the local menu of linear editing windows. It determines the behavior of regions or events when edited; lengths and cuts will snap to the nearest possible position (as determined by the chosen Snap menu value), for example. software instrument Software counterpart to hardware samplers or synthesizer modules, or acoustic sound sources such as drumkits 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. SPP Abbreviation for Song Position Pointer, a MIDI clock timing pulse sub-message that indicates the current “song” (project) position. It is accurate to bars (and beats for some devices), but is not as accurate as MIDI Time Code (MTC). If you have a choice of these two when synchronizing Logic Pro, choose MTC (see both the MIDI clock and MTC entries). 996 Glossary
