Glossary 995
Score Editor Logic Pro editor that deals with standard musical notation. MIDI note
events are represented as quavers, crotchets, minims, and so on. The Score Editor
allows you to adjust and edit the layout of the score, and print it.
score set A collection of various staff styles, staffs, and other elements shown in the
Score Editor can be saved as a score set. This facility allows you to quickly switch
between (and edit and print) different portions of the score, such as a brass section, in
isolation to the entire score. It also simplifies experimentation with different layouts.
screenset A layout of various windows, inclusive of all display parameters (zoom,
position, size of each window, and so on) is called a screenset. You can swap between
different screensets, much as you might swap between different computer monitors.
scroll bar and scroller Gray beam at the edge of a window. A movable box inside the
beam is used to select the displayed project section in the window.
SDII Sound Designer II audio file format. Very similar in structure to the AIFF file format.
semitone Smallest interval between two pitches in the standard diatonic scale, equal
to a half tone. A semitone is also called a half step or half tone.
send Abbreviation for auxiliary sends. An output on an audio device used for routing a
controlled amount of the signal to another device. Sends are often used to send several
signals to the same effect, which is useful for computationally-intensive effects such as
reverb.
Send slot A panel shown on mixer channel strips that enables you to send (via a bus) a
portion (or all) of the audio signal to an auxiliary channel strip. You may use multiple
sends on channels.
sequencer A sequencer is these days considered to be a computer application that
allows you to record both digital audio and MIDI data and blend the sounds together
in a software mixing console. In earlier times, a sequencer controlled synthesizers via a
series of control voltages and gates, or via MIDI only. No audio recording or control was
available.
setting 1) A parameter value. 2) A set of plug-in parameter values that can be loaded,
saved, copied, or pasted via the Settings menu. A plug-in setting is also known as
preset. Also see preset and Settings menu.
Settings menu Found in the gray header at the top of all plug-in windows. Allows you
to save, load, copy, and paste settings: the parameter values of effects and software
instruments.
sharing Channel strip settings, plug-in settings, and key commands can be stored and
accessed (shared) on a local network or .Mac account.
