Emagic's Logic has one unique advantage over all other audio sequencers - the Environment. This is a patchbay-style event routing development tool. Not (IMO silly) virtual cables as in Reason but logical schematics of devices and event paths. There's active third party development of support for hardware synths, rhythm machines, utilities... (mostly by tweaky musicians and studio engineers). Environments often have many hundred components. The Environment internals haven't seen much development lately other than a few new modules. Now imagine that Apple uses this technology to make environment.framework integrating it with low-level midi and audio events and high-level apple events. All developers can publish environment modules. Talk about digitial hub: doorbell plays your latest riff, a keyboard run starts the coffee, pet door takes a snapshot and mails it to your phone, sprinklers dance,....
