Vintage Electric Piano effects in Logic Pro for iPad
Vintage Electric Piano integrated effects units include classic equalizer, overdrive, stereo chorus, stereo phaser, and stereo tremolo that are commonly used with electric piano sounds.
EQ: The EQ allows you to boost or cut the high and low frequency ranges of your Vintage Electric Piano sound. The EQ is positioned after the Drive circuit in the Vintage Electric Piano effects chain.
Drive: Electric pianos sound best when played through tube amplifiers. Tube amplifiers offer a wide range of tones—from the subtle warmth or crunch of guitar amplifiers to psychedelic, screaming rock distortions. The Drive effect simulates the saturation characteristics of a tube amplifier stage. The Drive effect is the first signal processing circuit in the Vintage Electric Piano effects chain.
Chorus: The most commonly used effect on electric piano sounds, the Vintage Electric Piano Chorus effect is based on a delay circuit. The delay time is modulated by an LFO. The delayed effect signal is mixed with the original signal.
Phaser: The Phaser effect is based on analog phaser pedals used by electric guitarists in the 1960s and 1970s, including the subtle analog-style distortion typical of these units. These phaser pedals were also popular among electric pianists—especially in the electric jazz, jazz-rock, and pop styles of the 1970s.
The Phaser effect runs the original signal through a series of four filters that enhance particular aspects of the Vintage Electric Piano frequency spectrum. This filtered signal is slightly phase delayed and mixed with the original signal, resulting in notches in the frequency spectrum. The notches in the phase-delayed signal are moved up and down through the frequency spectrum by an LFO (low frequency oscillator) modulation. This results in the amplitudes of the two signals reaching their highest and lowest points at slightly different times.
Note: Logic Pro offers a sophisticated Phaser effect (and other modulation plug-ins) that can be used alongside, or to replace, the integrated Vintage Electric Piano Phaser effect.
Tremolo: A periodic modulation of the amplitude (level) of the sound is known as a tremolo. This modulation is controlled with an LFO in the Vintage Electric Piano Tremolo effect. The Fender Rhodes suitcase piano features a stereo tremolo. Other electric pianos have a simple, often obtrusive, mono tremolo that can introduce an unusual polyrhythmic feel to performances.
