The diagram shows signal flow from left to right through the different sound generating
and processing modules.
There are three basic stages:
Each sound can contain up to four sources: A, B, C, and D. Each source consists of
additive, spectral, granular, sampler, and virtual analog elements. Multiple elements can
be active in each source. Each source has three independent filters that can operate in
parallel or in series. These sources are used to create and shape the basic tone of the
sound. All modulation in this section applies per voice. See Logic Pro Alchemy source
overview, Logic Pro Alchemy source filters, and Logic Pro Alchemy source modulations.
There are two main filters that can operate in parallel or in series.The main filters
are used to shape or otherwise alter the combined sound from the four sources. All
modulation in this section applies per voice. See Logic Pro Alchemy main filter controls.
After the individual voices are mixed together and filtered, they pass through the effects
stage. Any modulation of the effects section is applied to the entire audio signal sent
from the main filter section. You can also directly route sources (post source filters,
if used) to the effects section, bypassing the main filters altogether. See Logic Pro
Alchemy effects overview.
Logic Pro Alchemy settings are compatible with Camel Audio Alchemy. This enables you to
replace the Camel Audio plug-in with Logic Pro Alchemy.
Replace Camel Audio Alchemy with Logic Pro Alchemy on a
track
1. In Logic Pro, select the track with the Camel Audio Alchemy plug-in.
2. In the channel strip for the selected track, place the pointer over the instrument slot
containing Camel Audio Alchemy, then choose Alchemy from the pop-up menu.
The new instance automatically retains your Camel Audio Alchemy settings.
Note: Because of updates to Logic Pro Alchemy controls and features, patches might
not sound exactly the same as they did in Camel Audio Alchemy. Also, automation
doesn’t carry over to Logic Pro Alchemy.
