Alchemy dynamic and utility effects in Logic Pro for Mac
Effect modules are shown only in browse or advanced view. Click the Browse or Advanced button to switch to either view, then click the Effect button in the Perform/Arp/Effects section.
Effects in this group are used to control the level or stereo position of the signal.
Alchemy Amp effect parameters
Allows for a variety of auto-gate effects when modulated by an LFO or sequencer.
Gain knob: Use a setting of 100% to preserve the input signal level. Lower values reduce this level, all the way to silence at 0%.
Alchemy Panner effect parameters
Allows for a variety of auto-pan effects when modulated by an LFO or sequencer.
Pan: Low values boost the left and cut the right channel; high values boost the right and cut the left. At 50% the balance between left and right input channels is preserved.
Alchemy Phat Compressor effect parameters
Dynamics processor based on a soft-limiting compression algorithm.
Amount knob: Set the amount of compression. Make-up gain is built in, so more compression results in greater apparent loudness.
Release knob: Determine how quickly the compression effect subsides once the input signal falls below the threshold.
Phat button:Add a saturation effect, for a different compression color. Turn off for more neutral/transparent compression.
Alchemy Vintage Compressor effect parameters
Dynamics processor based on analog compression hardware.
File button: Open a pop-up menu with several useful commands and to access presets.
Presets: Choose a preset from the submenu.
Save: Open a dialog where you can name and save the current settings to a new preset. The saved preset name is shown at the bottom of the Presets submenu list.
Copy/Paste: Copy the current settings to the Clipboard and paste the Clipboard contents.
Clear: Reset all parameter settings to default values.
Attack knob: Set the time it takes for the compressor to react when the signal exceeds the threshold level.
Release knob: Determine how quickly the compression effect subsides once the input signal falls below the threshold value.
Threshold knob: Set the threshold level. Signals above this threshold value are reduced in level.
Input Gain knob: Set the level of gain applied to the signal at the compressor input.
Ratio knob: Set the ratio of compression when the signal exceeds the threshold value.
Makeup Gain knob: Set the amount of gain applied to the compression signal at the compressor output.
