• Using Vst Plugins In Logic Pro X

NI is big enough to be able to give away something pretty generous in the form of Kontakt Player Free, which comes with 650MB of sampled instruments split into five sections. Band contains 13 instruments including guitars, basses, acoustic drum kits, electric pianos and a drawbar organ.

World has six exotic instruments and Synth has 12 synthesized leads, pads, basses and drum kits. Vintage contains 13 classic analogue synths and keyboards, while Urban Beats has five drum loop production kits. You’d be mad not to get it!

This virtual organ for Windows provides three different organ models and nine drawbars which can be modified to change the tonewheels and the frequencies present in the signal. As well as six different waveform shapes you can use key click which is a key part of the organ sound, percussion switches, sustain and vibrato as well as using key split mode, monophonic mode for bass sounds and scalable pitch bend. Onboard effects include saturation, distortion and fuzz and there is of course the requisite rotating speaker effect. Modelled acoustic guitars don’t often come for free. Spicy Guitar gives you nine types of guitar: four folk, two classical, one flamenco, one jumbo and one gypsy as well as a choice of either nylon or steel strings. You have MIDI keys for playing notes and then control keys for the playing articulations like legato, palm mute, harmonics, sustain or chord detection.

There are different chord types and also a strumming engine to recreate the action of playing that’s virtually impossible to do by using MIDI keys. The free version of NI’s hit Guitar Rig processing suite is a generous free giveaway as well as being expandable with extra packs if you want to purchase them.

Using Vst Plugins In Logic Pro X

You get one amp, 17 cabinets and 13 effects taken from the full version as well as 50 presets. The software uses an intuitive drag and drop system and there’s a tag-based browser for easier searching as well as automation support and Live View for a more streamlined workflow while performing live. It’s a great way to get started with virtual guitar processing. Although technically discontinued, Steinberg still makes its classic VB-1 bass instrument available for download both for Mac and PC. It’s four voice polyphonic which is fine for bass, since bass is usually pretty mono or duophonic, and has damper, pickup position, pick position and wave morph controls as well as a ramdomizer to quickly create new bass tones.

In today’s world of mega-sample libraries, it’s a refreshing 4.3MB in size, which is tiny. Many longtime Cubase users will remember this charming little bass instrument and now it can be yours for free.

I was thinking about buying Logic Pro X but not sure how the instruments and sound libraries differ from the latest Garageband. I see the layout is somewhat similar so moving from Garageband to Logic seems like a good move? But, I'm interested to know if anyone out there has Logic Pro X and knows if a good Choir VST exists for it?I've come across the following which sounds awesome, but it seems it only works using a retail version of Kontact?Any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance for reading!J. First of all,Logic Pro doesn't use VSTs.

That is the a different sort of plugin type used by Cubase for example.Logic Pro uses AudioUnits (AU) Plugins and Logic Pro X only uses 64bit AU Plugins.Okay. So with that out the way.In my opinion, the best Choir type sounds are found via Kontakt Libraries (along with many other high quality types of sounds) so the investment in the full version of the Kontakt 5 AU plugin is well worth the expense if you really want high quality sounds available to you in the future.Depending on the type of Choir sounds you are seeking. As you mentioned 8Dio's Liberis ECC is very good. But the following links may give you some idea of the many alternatives out there.and finally a personal favorite of mine. It's one of the older sets and is much more useful for Choir 'pad' type sounds but the quality is still right up there, at the very top. For such uses.While SOV isn't specifically for Kontakt, it's available in Akai format which can be imported and used by both Kontakt and Logic Pro's own EXS 24 Sampler.
