Multi effects in Logic Pro for iPad
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.
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.
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.
