124 Glossary
routing Generally refers to the way audio is sent through processing units. Also often
used to describe specific input and output assignments.
rubber band selection technique for selecting consecutive Regions, objects or events
by click-holding and dragging the mouse cursor around the desired items. A rubber
band selection envelope (an outline) will span from the start position of the mouse
cursor. All objects touched or enclosed by the rubber band selection envelope will be
highlighted.
sample A digital recording of a sound at a particular instant in time.
Sample Editor Logic’s Sample Editor allows stereo or mono audio files to be
destructively cut, reversed, shortened, changed in gain and processed in a number of
other ways. It allows editing of individual samples within an audio file consisting of
thousands or millions of samples. The Sample Editor also provides access to a number
of special sample processing tools, collectively known as the Digital Factory.
sampler Device used for sampling. In Logic, this generally refers to the EXS 24
software-based sampler.
sample rate When an analog audio signal is converted to a digital signal, this term
refers to the number of times per second the audio file is sampled. Logic can record
and edit audio at sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz (44,100 times per second) up to
192 kHz (192, 000 times per second).
Score Editor Logic editor that deals with standard musical notation. MIDI note events
are represented as quavers, crostchets, minims and so on. The Score Editor allows you
to adjust and edit the layout of the score, and print it.
Screenset A layout of various windows, inclusive of all display parameters (zoom,
position and size of each window and so on) is called a screenset. Each Logic song may
store up to 90 Screensets. You can swap between different screensets, much as you
might swap between different computer monitors.
scroll bar and scroll box Gray beam at the edge of a window. A movable box inside
the beam is used to select the displayed song section in the window.
semitone Smallest interval between two pitches in the standard diatonic scale, equal
to a half tone. Correspondingly a semitone is also called 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 for example often used to
send several signals to the same effect, which is rather advisable for computationally-
intensive effects such as reverb.
