Glossary 707

side chain A side chain is effectively an alternate input signal—usually routed into an

effect—that is used to control an effect parameter. As an example, you could use a side

chained track containing a drum loop to act as the control signal for a Gate inserted on

a sustained pad track, creating a rhythmic gating effect of the pad sound.

Signature track Global track showing all time and key signatures of a song.

Signature/Key Change List A Logic window listing all time and key signatures of a

song. You can access the Signature/Key Change List by choosing Options > Key/

Signature Change List Editor.

Single Trigger mode This term is associated with synthesizers such as the ES 1. In this

mode, envelopes are not retriggered when tied (legato) notes are played.

SMF See Standard MIDI File.

SMPTE Abbreviation for Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The

organization responsible for establishing a synchronization system that divides time

into hours, minutes, seconds, frames, and subframes (SMPTE time code). The SMPTE

time code is also used for synchronizing different devices. The MIDI equivalent of

SMPTE time code is MIDI Time Code (MTC).

SMPTE ruler Logic’s Bar Ruler can display time units in hours, minutes seconds and

frames, and can display timecode if a video is imported into the project.

Snap menu A pull-down menu found at the top of all linear editing windows in Logic.

Selection of items in the menu will cause events or Regions to “snap” to the specified

value when moved.

software instrument Logic’s software counterpart to a real sound source or a sampler

or synthesizer module.

solo A way to temporarily highlight one or more tracks or Regions or events, allowing

them to be heard in isolation.

Solo tool Click-holding on individual Regions or events with the Solo tool temporarily

allows them to be heard in isolation. All other objects are muted.

song Main Logic file, containing all MIDI events and parameter settings (including

mixer automation data) plus information about the audio files to be played.

Song Position Line (SPL) The Song Position Line is a vertical gray line which indicates

Logic’s current playback position in all horizontal, time-based windows (the Arrange

window, for example). The SPL can be directly grabbed and moved with the mouse

(see scrubbing).
