There’s 15 effects that can be applied globally or to each voice.Īlchemy is amazing. There’s 4 step sequencers (arpeggiators) that let you sequence relative note value, velocity, pan, swing, length and 2 slots for using the arp itself as a modulation source. The amount of modulation is shown by an extra circle around the knob, which is very nice. Nearly everything can be a modulation target too! The modulator parameters themselves are modulatable. The number of modulators you can have and the modulation destinations are … I don’t know. Modulation maps - these filter modulation from a modulation source before it hits the destination.Envelope followers with multiple internal input sources and sidechain.AHDSRs with curves and multiple trigger modes.Also the morph page where you can morph between voices on an XY pad or a timeline in linear and log modes.Also the global page where you can make quick changes to the 4 modules, add a global filter and change how the voices interact.There’s 100s of oscillator wavetables to import. 4 individual voices with wavetable import, 3 filters, additive synthesis, spectral synthesis, pitch, formant, granular and VA modes.Assignable macro section with ‘transform pads’ that allow you to capture settings for quick changes.The preset browser works rather well with ratings, search, multiple categories, user tags and temporal selection. It has 1000s of presets which offer either an excellent starting point for a sound, or the sound you want right off the bat.What makes Alchemy so great? Well… everything. It still is, but now it’s only available in Logic and Mainstage. Your browser does not support the video tag.Ĭamel Audio Alchemy was an amazing synthesizer. Seriously, Alchemy used to sell for more than Logic does now and people happily purchased it. Alchemy alone is reason enough to buy Logic. But eventually it’ll be good enough ContentsĪlchemy has its own section. A post is coming up on that in the future, but if you see any random ~~/j:s4k looking characters, it’s because my normal mode keychord mapping is not configured to my liking yet.

NOTE - I wrote this post in a different editor than I’ve been using the last ~9 months. Things I hate about Logic Pro X and Conclusion!.


The MIDI Effects are all excellent and will have their own section. I’ve marked the non-vectorized models as of Logic 10.4. Many of the plugins are vectorized for clean resizing and retina screens. I would suggest replacing these with a third-party product.
