Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 319)

ReCycle Files
ReCycle (REX, RCY) files are generated in Propellerhead ReCycle software. These are similar
to Apple Loops audio files, in that they contain a number of slices, and match the project
tempo. When imported, a small folder that contains several regions—one for each slice—is
created. Each of these slice regions can be handled like any audio region. ReCycle files,
unlike Apple Loops files, do not follow the project key.
Standard MIDI Files
Standard MIDI files (SMF) are a standard file format used in MIDI sequencers. They can
be read and saved in Logic Pro. SMFs may contain note, lyric, controller, and SysEx data.
They are added to MIDI or software instrument tracks in Logic Pro.
Note: Logic Pro can also import GarageBand, OMF Interchange, AAF, OpenTL, and XML
files. These file types are usually used to exchange projects, however, and are therefore
outside the scope of this chapter. Full details on importing these file types can be found
in
Project and File Interchange .
Accessing Media Files in the Browser
You first need to locate your audio and other files, before you can add them to your
projects. The Browser is your first port of call for browsing, previewing, and searching for
prerecorded media.
Note: While all supported media types can be accessed in the Browser, Apple Loops are
best handled in the Loop Browser. See
Finding Apple Loops in the Loop Browser .
To access the Browser in the Arrange window
µ
Click the Media button in the Arrange toolbar, then click the Browser tab (or use the
Toggle File Browser key command, default assignment: F).
