Note: Some Audio Unit instruments do not recognize this remote command.

No Hermode Tuning
Logic Pro allows all software instruments to be globally tuned to different tempered
scales, including Hermode Tuning (see “

What Is Hermode Tuning?

” on page 947). There

may, however, be occasions where you want individual software instruments to be
exempt from this global tuning system.

When File > Project Settings > Tuning > Hermode Tuning is active, a No HMT checkbox
is visible in the Inspector Parameter boxes of all instrument channels.

Simply click in this box to prevent the selected software instrument from following the
global Hermode Tuning scale.

A software instrument track with an active No HMT checkbox will be played back at
equal temperament.

This facility is ideal for an EXS drum kit that you don’t want tuned like your melodic
software instrument parts, for example.

Working With ReWire Applications

Logic Pro acts as a host for ReWired applications such as Ableton Live and
Propellerhead Reason.

Important:

Start Logic Pro first, and then start your ReWire application(s).

When these applications are run alongside Logic Pro, synchronized audio information is
routed out of them in to aux channel strips in the Logic Pro Mixer, where it can be
combined with other tracks, run through effects and bounced to new audio files.

In essence, the output of these ReWired programs is handled in much the same way as
you would deal with internal Logic Pro audio data. Synchronization is automatic, so you
don’t really need to do much to ReWire the applications, beyond setting up aux
channels, if desired.
