Multi effects in Logic Pro for Mac
The multi-effect units provide a one-stop solution for a number of musical situations where you need to highlight or enhance a musical part or song section. The included multi-effect processors can be used subtly or traditionally, but they are truly creative tools that excel at transforming your music.
Beat Breaker is an audio plug-in that reorders incoming audio in real time, allowing you to slice up your audio, rearrange it, and add scratching effects. Not only can you use it to play back audio in a different slice order, but you can also set the speed, direction, and volume with a given number of repeats. See Beat Breaker.
Phat FX is a “coloring” multi-effect unit designed primarily for use with drum, bass, and guitar parts. It can add warmth, punch, and presence, along with some heavy distortion if you want it. You can use it with any type of signal that needs some extra “flavor.” See Phat FX overview.
Step FX is a multi-effect unit that provides deep modulation control, courtesy of three independent built-in 128-step modulators. It can be used with any type of signal and is capable of subtle or heavy rhythmic enhancements to musical parts, dance-floor gating effects, and warped manipulations that can turn your audio and instrument tracks into something completely new. See Step FX overview.
Remix FX is a flexible multi-effect unit that combines several DJ-style effects, such as a filter, gater, downsampler, reverse, scratch, tape stop, and more. It’s designed primarily for use on the stereo bus to give electronic-style music a live dance-floor groove, but you can use it on any type of signal. See Remix FX.
Phat FX and Step FX settings are compatible with Camel Audio CamelPhat and CamelSpace settings. This lets you replace instances of the Camel Audio plug-ins with Phat FX or Step FX.
If you’re new to using plug-ins in Logic Pro, see Add, remove, move, and copy plug-ins in Logic Pro for Mac.
Replace Camel Audio CamelPhat or CamelSpace with Phat FX or Step FX on a track
In Logic Pro, select the track with the Camel Audio CamelPhat or CamelSpace plug-in.
In the channel strip for the selected track, place the pointer over the effect slot containing Camel Audio CamelPhat or CamelSpace, then choose Phat FX or Step FX from the pop-up menu.
The new instance automatically retains your Camel Audio CamelPhat or CamelSpace settings.
Note: Because of updates to Phat FX and Step FX controls and features, patches might not sound exactly the same as they did in Camel Audio CamelPhat and CamelSpace. Also, automation doesn’t carry over to Phat FX and Step FX.
