Sample Alchemy Motion mode in Logic Pro for iPad
Using Motion mode, you can record the movement of source handles to automate various parameters so that they change over time, producing dynamic and evolving sounds.
After you record a motion sequence, it is automatically looped and remains tempo-synchronized to your project. When you play back the sound, the Motion sequence you recorded is visually replicated on the screen.
Add to your recording by making overdubs or manually setting the Loop Start and Loop End points. If you’re unsatisfied with your recording, you can use the Clear button to erase the motion recording and start over.
Tip: Instead of using Motion mode to record the movement of the handles, you can record it directly to a region. After you record your performance, you can edit the automation captured in the region to suit your project. See Show region automation.
Motion mode parameters
Record button: Tap the Record button (if necessary) to start recording motion. The Record button flashes until you touch the handles or a MIDI input is received. Recording when a recording already exists will cause any additional touches to override that particular section of the recording, in a similar manner to Touch automation.
Clear button: Delete the motion recording. This button only appears after a motion recording has been made.
Timeline: Displays the playback position of the latest note, with beat markers as the axis.
Loop Start: Set the motion playback loop start point in beats.
Loop End: Set the motion playback loop end point in beats.
Duration: Set the duration of the recording in beats. Changing this value will stretch the motion recording and loop start and end positions accordingly.
Record a motion sequence
Tap the Record button to enable the motion recorder (if necessary). The Record button flashes until you touch the handles or a MIDI input is received.
Move the source handles as required for the duration of the recording.
Release the handles to automatically stop the recording, or tap the Stop button.
Tap Record again if you want to overdub the motion recording.
Play a MIDI note to listen to and visualize your motion recording. You can now switch to Play mode if you want. Any movement of the handles shifts your motion recording up/down/left/right.
