Setting Up Logic
Setting up Logic is easy: When you launch Logic for the
first time, the Logic Setup Assistant automatically starts.
The Logic Setup Assistant will guide you through the process of setting up Logic for
use with your
installed audio and MIDI hardware. The following section provides
information on MIDI and audio hardware setup. Further to this, the initial settings that
can be specified—with the aid of the Logic Setup Assistant—are explained.
MIDI and Audio Connections
Prior to launching Logic for the first time, you will need to set up your MIDI and audio
hardware. You should install the drivers of any optional audio interface(s) and your MIDI
interface(s) before starting Logic. This will allow Logic to find and use these devices at
startup. In order to be usable in Mac OS X, audio interfaces should support the Core
Audio API and MIDI interfaces should support the Core MIDI API.
Connecting a MIDI Keyboard
If using a simple MIDI master keyboard, without internal tone generation facilities, you
only need to connect the MIDI Out port of the keyboard to a MIDI In port on your MIDI
interface—using a MIDI cable.
If using a MIDI keyboard fitted with a USB connector, you don’t require a separate MIDI
interface as it is already built into the keyboard. Just be sure to install the driver, if
needed, and connect the keyboard to your computer with a USB cable.
Note: More detailed information and tips on MIDI can be found in the Appendices of
this guide and in the Logic reference.
