Amp parameters: Located at each end of the knobs section, these parameters are used
to set the input gain, presence, and output level of the amp. See Logic Pro Bass Amp
Designer amplifier controls.
Effects parameters: Located in the center of the knobs section, these parameters
control the integrated EQ and compressor effects. A further graphic or parametric EQ
is shown above the compressor controls when the EQ button is turned on. See
Logic Pro Bass Amp Designer effects overview.
Microphone parameters: Located at the right of the interface, these parameters set the
type and position of the microphone that captures the amplifier and cabinet sound. See
Logic Pro Bass Amp Designer mic parameters.
Output slider: The Output slider is found at the lower-right corner of the interface. It
serves as the final level control for Bass Amp Designer output that is fed to ensuing
Insert slots in the channel strip, or directly to the channel strip output.
Note: This parameter is different from the Master control, which serves the dual
purpose of sound design as well as controlling the level of the Amp section.
