Alchemy in Logic Pro for iPad
Alchemy is an easy-to-use, yet powerful sample playback synthesizer. It offers numerous real-time performance controls and an extensive preset library.
Under the hood, Alchemy features additive, spectral, and granular synthesis and resynthesis, sampling, and virtual analog engines. An Alchemy preset can contain up to four sources, each using one or more synthesis engines. You can morph or crossfade between these sources.
Note: Logic Pro for iPad Alchemy provides playback compatibility with Logic Pro for Mac projects. You can load presets for this plug-in, but full parameter editing is available only when using Logic Pro for Mac. In the Logic Pro for Mac version of Alchemy, you can analyze imported samples and can manipulate them using one or more of these synthesis methods. Logic Pro for Mac Alchemy provides extensive sample mapping, looping, and grouping facilities that make it easy to create instruments containing hundreds of samples and layers. If you want to create purely synthetic sounds, the additive, spectral, and virtual analog synthesis engines are full-featured, matching or exceeding the power and facilities of many standalone instruments. Dozens of modeled analog and digital filters are available, in addition to multiple racks of integrated effect units and an extensive modulation section. Logic Pro for Mac Alchemy also features a powerful arpeggiator that can control each source independently and provides flexible pattern modulation options.
If you’re new to synthesizers and different synthesis methods, see Intro to synthesizers.
To add Alchemy to your project, choose it from the Instrument > Synthesizer submenu in an Instrument channel strip or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins.
User Guide conventions
Logic Pro for iPad plug-ins have two primary views:
Tile view, which shows a few key parameters in the Plug-ins area
Details view, where you can access all plug-in parameters
Throughout the guide, parameters available in Tile view are indicated by
