Apple Highlights Touchscreen Music Production On Its New MacBook Pro
Apple is putting music production at the centre of its latest MacBook Pro launch, showcasing how the new PROLED XDR Display lets users play virtual instruments directly on the screen in Logic Pro. Set to arrive this Friday, the laptop is being demonstrated through an overnight music-making session that puts its touchscreen capabilities to use.
The live event is taking place at Apple’s Tower Theatre store in Downtown Los Angeles, where creators are using the device to build a song. Direct touchscreen controls offer another way to interact with virtual instruments, letting musicians experiment with sounds and sketch out ideas without relying solely on a keyboard or trackpad.
The demonstration gives Apple an opportunity to show how the touchscreen could fit into a portable music-production setup, particularly for creators who regularly work with digital instruments.
