Articulation ID?

by Leave a Comment

There are always undocumented changes when updating Apple software.
Some of you out there are eagerly awaiting a new version of Logic Pro. One thing that seems connected to a bigger picture is something hidden inside the Hyper Draw menu.
A certain Articulation ID is visible once you start a new project but if you record or create a blank region it vanishes into thin air

So what does this mean exactly?
I don’t really know but I suspect it’s the answer to Steinberg’s VST Expression.

Interesting times indeed.

Logic Pro 9.1.7 is the latest update.
