i've been reading the manual for this - i'm a complete newbie to Logic - i tried to have a bash at a copy of version 4 for the PC, but since i was weaned into the music world by Cubase, i didn't get it at all.
after reading the manual for the Atari version, it's capabilities even on the Atari are mindblowing.
i'm desperate to get it all hooked up!
the whole Environment thing seems like it has Max/MSP similarites (in the sense that you can re-wire all the MIDI stuff in the software rather than having to actually cable everything up, you can hook up arps and delays and stuff all in the software environment)....do later version of Logic have this capability?
i want my Atari back right now :(

You can do all that with cubase too.

"do later version of Logic have this capability?"
yes, the environment is still a part of Logic Express/Pro 7.2.

but heavily limited in logic express (i rseem to remember not encountering a transformer)..
yes, the environment is VERY powerful. its very customizable, and if you really get into it, you can pretty much make logic look like what you want to.. i recommend looking into swiftkick and other places for logic tutorials, or examples of CC-LFOs and whatnot.
i cant quite recommend it enough, logic's environment just basically.. owns.

Thats strange. Willing to totally change your compositional environment because of a couple features that are available in an updated version of your current environment.

Just the midi ins and outs and the audio ins and outs and the midi effects rocks my socks more than anything for sx.

i dont think you quite understand what logic's environment can do.
and i wont spill the beans, its just fun to use, and you can get rid of the arrange window completely and just do everything (even close logic) with buttons, faders, delay lines, cable selectors, arpeggiators... and so on.

well i never liked SX - in my experience it was always crashing, very buggy...on both the Macintosh and PC platform.
at the moment my only option for MIDI sequencing is my Atari, since my PC is dead and i'm never touching a Macnitosh again for making music.
in future i may end up building a PC just to record audio, but i think my MIDI setup will be slaved to my Atari for the foreseeable future.

Hmmm. I have never had an issue running SX like it crashing. Its the only DAW that I have used that hasn't ever done the big mean crash on me while I am in the middle of working on something just before I was about to save. I hear it happens a lot to people though.
I know there are a lot of people on the logic bandwagon. However, I decided to stop trying to learn every compositional environment after I learned cubase.

i'll admit that i haven't used SX 3, but after messing with SX 1 and 2 i kinda gave up.
i really wish the Mac platform hadn't give me so much shit - i really wanted to get into using Digital Performer :(

I haven't tried SX 3 actually. Aparently its pretty hot. I went all hardware around the time SX 3 was released, so I never took much interest.

Logic was originally for the Atari (the version which i'm talking about)
Logic was created by Emagic (which used to be called C-Lab)
it came out around about 1993-1994, Cubase for the Atari was it's main competitor as the commercial sequencer of choice. As the Atari began to die out around about 1994-1995, so did Emagic's support for the Atari. and then it moved onto the PC and Mac platforms.
then Apple bought Emagic, and now Logic is Macintosh only

yes it's a MIDI sequencer for the Atari, and for the PC and Mac it's an Audio & MIDI sequencer
