Modulation pedals in Logic Pro for iPad
Flange Factory
Flange Factory is a deluxe flanging effect with precise sound control features.
Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Shape knob: Alter the shape of the modulation waveform.
Curve knob: Smooth the waveform shape.
Wave buttons: Switch between modulation waveforms.
Manual knob: Set a delay time between the source and effect signals. This can result in flanger-chorus effects, or in edgier-sounding modulations.
Reso knob: Determine the amount of cutoff frequency resonance.
High knob: Set the high frequency cutoff.
Low knob: Set the low frequency cutoff.
- Mix knob: Set the level balance between the flanging and source signals.
Heavenly Chorus
Heavenly Chorus is a rich, sweet-sounding chorus effect that thickens the sound.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Feedback knob: Set the amount of effect output sent to the effect input, thickening the sound or leading to intermodulations.
Density knob: Set the ratio between the original and effect signals.
Bright button: Set at the top position to apply a fixed frequency internal EQ. Bottom position bypasses the EQ.
Phase Tripper
Phase Tripper is a simple phasing effect.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Feedback knob: Set the amount of effect output sent to the effect input, changing the tonal color, making the sweeping effect more pronounced, or both.
Phaze 2
Phaze 2 is a flexible dual-phaser effect.
Phaser 1/2 Rate knobs: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Phaser 1/2 Sweep Floor/Ceiling knobs: Set the lower and upper limits of the frequency range that is swept.
Phaser 1/2 Order knobs: Switch between algorithms, with higher (even) numbers resulting in a heavier phasing effect. Odd order numbers result in more subtle comb-filtering effects.
Phaser 1/2 Feedback knobs: Set the amount of effect output sent to the effect input, changing the tonal color, making the phasing effect more pronounced, or both.
Phaser 1/2 Tone knobs: Rotate left to increase the amount of lowpass filtering. Rotate right to increase the amount of highpass filtering.
- Output Mix knob: Set the level balance between each phaser.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate values of both LFOs with the host tempo.
Retro Chorus
Retro Chorus is a subtle vintage chorus effect.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
Robo Flanger
Robo Flanger is a flexible flanging effect.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Feedback knob: Set the amount of effect output sent to the effect input, changing the tonal color, making the flanging effect more pronounced, or both.
Manual knob: Set a delay time between the source and effect signals. This can result in flanger-chorus effects, or in metallic-sounding modulations, particularly when used with high Feedback values.
Roswell Ringer
Roswell Ringer is a ring modulation effect that can make incoming audio sound metallic or unrecognizable, and can deliver tremolos, brighten up signals, and more. See Ringshifter for information on ring modulation.
- Freq Coarse knob: Set the frequency shift value.
Freq Fine knob: Fine-tune the frequency shift.
Type buttons: Set the frequency curve to linear—with 12 notes per octave—or exponential.
Feedback knob: Set the amount of effect output sent to the effect input, changing the tonal color, making the effect more pronounced, or both.
- Mix knob: Set the level balance between the source and effect signals.
Roto Phase
Roto Phase is a phaser effect that adds movement to, and alters the phase of, the signal.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Intensity knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Type buttons: Vintage enables a fixed-frequency internal EQ. Modern disables the EQ.
Spin Box
Spin Box emulates a Leslie speaker cabinet, commonly used with the Hammond B3 organ.
Cabinet knob: Switch between speaker box types.
Fast Rate knob: Set the maximum modulation speed; this applies only when the Fast button is active.
- Speed buttons: Determine speaker behavior: Slow rotates the speaker slowly. Fast rotates the speaker quickly, up to the maximum speed set with the Fast Rate knob. Brake stops speaker rotation.
Response knob: Set the amount of time required for the rotor to reach its maximum and minimum speed.
Drive knob: Set the amount of input gain, which introduces distortion.
Bright button: Turn on to mimic a forward-facing speaker horn in the cabinet, resulting in a brighter tone.
The Vibe
The Vibe is a vibrato/chorus effect based on the Scanner vibrato effect unit found in the Hammond B3 organ.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Type knob: Choose from three vibrato (V1–3) or chorus (C1–3) variations.
Total Tremolo
Total Tremolo is a flexible tremolo effect—modulation of the signal level.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
Wave knob: Set the (continuously variable) modulation waveform shape.
Smoothing knob: Change the waveform shape.
Volume knob: Set the post-tremolo gain.
Speed Up button: Hold down to gradually accelerate the current Rate value to the maximum possible value.
Slow Down button: Hold down to gradually reduce the current Rate value to the minimum possible value.
Speed buttons: Set a Normal, Half, or Double speed for the current Rate value.
Trem-O-Tone
Trem-O-Tone is a simple tremolo effect—modulation of the signal level.
- Rate knob: Set the modulation speed in hertz, or synchronized with the host tempo when you turn on the Sync button.
Sync button: Turn on to synchronize the Rate value with the host tempo.
- Depth knob: Set the strength of the effect.
Level knob: Set the post-tremolo gain.
