Step FX filter types: distortion
Phat FX filters offer several distortion effects.
• Bitcrusher is a harsher-sounding digital effect.
• Downsample is a lo-fi digital effect (similar to Bitcrusher but is frequency dependent).
• Mech is a metallic-sounding distortion.
• Tube is a classic tube distortion effect.
The filter controls work as follows when the filter type is set to a distortion effect:
• Amount: Controls the intensity of the distortion effect.
• Mix: Controls the mix between clean and distorted signals. A 0% value results in the
clean signal only. A 50% value results in an equal mix of clean and distorted signal.
A 100% value results in the distorted signal only.
• Freq: Sets the frequency for the Downsample distortion type.
Logic Pro Remix FX
Remix FX includes a set of buttons, sliders, and XY pads you can use to control several
real-time effects common to electronic and dance music. It makes it easy to scratch
mix your project, much like a DJ using a turntable, to play audio in reverse, to stop or
downsample the song, and to apply a variety of other effects. It is intended mainly for
use on the stereo output bus, but you can insert the plug-in on any type of signal in
your project.
Remix FX can be fully automated so you can record, edit, and play back any movement of
the Remix FX parameters as automation.
You can also control the XY pads and other parameters with MIDI controllers, assigned with
Smart Controls. See Logic Pro Smart Controls overview.
Use the XY pads on the left and right to control various time-based and modulation effects.
Drag the pointer horizontally (X axis) or vertically (Y axis) to set the value of the parameter
shown on the bottom or left side of each pad.
XY pad pop-up menus: Clicking the name of the effect at the top of the XY pad opens a
pop-up menu. Choose an effect type for either the left or right XY Pad.
• Filter: Removes frequencies above a cutoff frequency and accentuates frequencies
around the resonance value. X sets the cutoff frequency and Y sets the resonance
value. Click the Settings button
to access the following additional parameter:
Mode: Choose between Phat, a warm-sounding filter with a 24 dB lowpass and 24 dB
highpass filter, and Classic, a clean, state-variable filter with a slope of 12 dB/octave.
