About the Workshop Booklets
Roland’s SonicCell is designed for modern musicians. Using USB, It adds a
huge set of sounds to your digital audio workstation (or “DAW”) without
adding to your computer’s workload. It’s also an audio interface that can get
signals from mics, instruments, or other devices to DAW tracks for recording.
SonicCell’s Editor software allows you to program SonicCell from within your
DAW. Onstage, its compact size also makes SonicCell the ideal companion
for a laptop DAW, letting you perform and sing along with recorded tracks.
Or use it to play back sequences and audio files from a USB memory stick.
Each SonicCell Workshop booklet focuses on one SonicCell topic, and is
intended as a companion to the SonicCell Owner’s Manual. This booklet
requires SonicCell O.S. Version 1.11 or higher. You can download the latest
SonicCell O.S. for free from www.RolandUS.com.
About This Booklet
This booklet contains instructions for using SonicCell with Apple’s Logic Pro
8. (Much of what we cover also applies to Logic Pro 7.) First we’ll discuss
recording MIDI tracks in Logic Pro using SonicCell’s synth sounds. Next, we’ll
talk about SonicCell as as an audio interface, telling you how to record both
live audio and SonicCell’s synth sounds as audio tracks in Logic Pro.
We’ll assume you’ve installed and know how to operate Logic Pro—
otherwise, consult Logic Pro’s built-in documentation in its Help menu. We’ll
also assume you’ve read the Using SonicCell with a DAW and Using SonicCell
as an Audio Interface Workshop booklets, that SonicCell and your computer
are hooked up and turned on, and that you’re listening through SonicCell.
