GarageBand Instruments
Two additional GarageBand 2 instruments are included in Logic Express. These are the
sample-based Hybrid Basic and Hybrid Morph synthesizers.
Both synthesizers are limited to a few powerful, but easy to use parameters, outside of
the common ADSR, cutoff and resonance options. Experiment with these controls to
discover how simple it is to create spectacular sounds.
Of note are the Wave pop-up menus, which allow you to choose the sample set used
to generate the basic synthesizer sound.
Each “Wave” in the Hybrid Morph synthesizer is based on two sample layers. The Morph
control crossfades between the two sample layers. The Morph Envelope allows you to
control the morph over time. As an example, setting the Morph parameter to B and the
Morph Envelope to From A To B, morphs the Wave from A to B in accordance with the
ADSR envelope settings.
Note: It you set the Morph parameter to A and the Morph Envelope to From A to B,
certain ADSR settings will result in no sound.
In this context, you can achieve interesting results by using the modulation wheel to
offset the Morph parameter during live performances.
