Instrument and Effect Changes
This section provides a summary of the Logic Pro 8 instruments and effects features.
For more information on these features and their use, see the Logic Studio Instruments
and Effects manual. General changes that affect the application-specific use of plug-ins
are described in the Logic Pro 8 User Manual.

General
This section outlines several changes that impact on the use of all effect and
instrument plug-ins in Logic Pro 8.

Using Multi Output Instruments
Set up of multi output instruments in Logic Pro 8 has been simplified: When you insert
a multi output instrument plug-in into an instrument channel, a + button appears at
the bottom of the channel strip.

Click this button, and an aux channel strip appears to the right of the instrument
channel, already assigned to the inserted multi output instrument. Repeat this step to
create further (automatically assigned) aux channel strips, up to the maximum allowed
by the instrument plug-in.

Following the creation of the first aux channel strip for your multi output instrument, a
“–” button appears beside the “+” button. Click the “–” button to remove aux channels.

Software Instrument Live Mode
Software instruments that are live (ready for playing) require considerably more CPU
power than those that are merely playing back existing regions. To streamline CPU
usage, selecting a software instrument track in Logic Pro 8 will not immediately switch
into live mode. It will only switch to live mode after receiving a live MIDI event. The
Record Enable button of instrument tracks reflects the current status.

New Low Latency Mode
Low Latency mode limits the maximum delay time caused by plug-ins. Plug-ins are
bypassed to ensure that the maximum possible delay (across the entire signal flow of
the current track) remains under the chosen value. This mode is handy when you need
to play a software instrument (or monitor through an audio channel) when high-latency
plug-ins are in use—at any point in the signal flow for the selected track/channel.

Latency mode is activated with the Low Latency Mode button in the Transport bar, or
the checkbox in the General Audio preferences tab.
