Customer Reviews:
 speaking of synths, 2008-07-26
As others have discussed other aspects of the program, I'll comment on the included software synths (as opposed to sample playback interfaces). You may already be familiar with the Garageband synths; what's great about having them in this context is being able to control all 8 parameters in real time through controller assignments. Of course, you may also automate them. Now that you have access to their "parent" synths, the ES2 and EFM1, you may better understand the components of those parameters and explore further possibilities. With the two "operators" offered you cannot attain quite the richness -- say, in an electric piano patch -- of a true 6-operator FM synth. But the interaction of complex waveforms, modulation routings and vector envelope make for sonic possibilities that are just as compelling -- and easier to program. I am also impressed with Logic's attempts to be a serious notation program, though I have not used it enough to see if it could replace Finale for certain score types. I note at least that you can selectively reduce staff size, which I could not get Sibelius to do.
