Learn how to morph between and combine elements of different sounds in exciting ways. The application of Flutter, via the Modulation section, creates a degree of pitch-drift.Ĭreate a new bus send from the aux channel on Bus 2.Learn more. Create a mono instance of Tape Delay on the newly created aux channel.
We start with a basic Vintage Electric Piano patch on Instrument 1. The addition of the Pitch Shifter helps lift the reverb above the original input, providing an angelic-like shimmer to the effect. Firstly, the reverb tail extends comfortably to 30 seconds or so without becoming too grainy or ringy in its later stages. ChromaVerb has two key points worth picking up on.
One final important component to mention, of course, is the ChromaVerb plug-in, which uses Reverb as the body of the pad sound. This forms a useful contrast to the relatively bell-like purity of the Fender Rhodes and adds a sense of texture to the effect. The regeneration of the delay, therefore, is defined by the relative send levels, so that high send levels result in a longer amount of regeneration. Something as simple as a ping-pong delay, therefore, can be created by the output of a delay of the left channel being sent to a delay on the right channel, which in turn feeds back its signal to the original delay line. The feedback routing is created by bus sends on the individual aux return channels, and also by some effects in this case, the Pitch Shifter having its output routed directly to the reverb. This mimics the creative use of effects using a console, where the desk becomes an integral part of the feedback routing between the effects. The result is a dynamic amalgamation of all three effects the delays bounce between one another, for example, rather than use an internal feedback option or, in the case of the Pitch Shifter, the entirety of the output is fed back into the Reverb before that too is sent back into the Pitch Shifter. The second interesting facet of the use of effects is the use of a feedback path between them, so effects feedback between themselves. Indeed, we can even turn the instrument fader completely down and have an output solely based on the effects. Firstly, the effects are all initially applied pre-fader so that the level of the instrument source is completely independent to the levels of reverb, delay and pitch shift returned into the mix. The interest in the patch comes from the application of effects, with two unique points to note. Our starting point, therefore, is a simple instance of the Vintage Electric Piano patch, which works well given its pure, organic sound.
In many ways, the combination of virtual analogue instruments, samples, audio effects and mixer in Logic Pro X could be seen as one giant synthesizer, capable of producing a range of different sounds.
Optionally, the plug-in can function as a delay, reverb, chorus or flanger.
