Apple has brough updates to Logic Pro, proprietary digital audio software, for the Mac and the iPad today. It integrates the ability to search for plug-ins and sources and the addition of more analogue-simulating sounds.
If you have Mac 11.1 and iPad 2.1, you are now allowed to reorder channel strips and plug-ins in the mixer and plug-in windows to make it easier to arrange the layout of an audio mix.
As for the new sounds, Apple integrated a library of analogue synthesiser samples called Modular Melodies, akin to the Modular Rhythms pack already found in Logic.

A more exciting sonic addition is the new Quantec Room Simulator (QRS) plug-in, which emulates the vintage digital reverb hardware of the same name, found in professional recording studios globally.
Apple has acquired the technology for the classic QRS model and the later YardStick models to integrate into this software.
Logic Pro for Mac, you can now share a song to the Mac’s Voice Memos app, which may be a great feature for when Voice Memos gets that multitrack option on the iPhone in iOS 18.2
In the iPad version of Logic Pro, you can easily add your own local third-party sample folders to the browser window, to make it simpler to bring external audio files into tracks and sampler plug-ins.
However, these updates are minor for current Logic users, but they make the digital audio workplace easier to use and add to the lineup of useful tools for no additional cost.
