Transform pad controls
In addition to the parameters outlined, you can Control-click directly on snapshots in the
Transform pad to open a shortcut menu with a number of snapshot and other commands.
See the tasks in this section for details about use of these commands.
• Transform pad: Drag the framing box to different positions to morph between
performance snapshots in real time. The performance control knobs update, modulating
the associated parameters.
• Action menu button: Open a pop-up menu with a number of snapshot-related
commands.
• Copy Snapshot: Store all performance control settings of the selected snapshot in a
buffer.
• Paste Snapshot: Paste all performance control settings from the buffer to the
selected snapshot.
• Copy 1 To All: Copy all performance control settings of snapshot 1 into snapshots 2
to 8.
• Clear: Capture the current performance control values and apply them directly to
target parameters, preserving the current sound. Following use of the command, all
performance control and Transform pad assignments are cleared, all controls are
reset to zero, and the knob and pad name fields are wiped.
• Randomize Snapshots: Create random performance control values for all snapshots
except the currently active snapshot.
• Auto Assign All: Automatically assign all performance controls to appropriate
parameters in the current preset. This command also generates a random set of
snapshots that are derived from the settings in snapshot 1. This is the quickest way
to start with the performance controls.
• Auto Assign Empty: Automatically assign all unused performance controls to
appropriate parameters in the current preset. Existing performance control
assignments are not affected, and no snapshot settings are created.
• Snapshot Update: Enable to immediately write changes of performance control
values to the nearest Transform pad snapshot. This prevents the performance knob
from reverting to its previous position when you move a performance knob and then
move the Transform pad framing box slightly.
Tip: This parameter is on by default, but you can enable or disable it as preferred
and then save the default preset in the plug-in header to recall this behavior in new
presets.
• Octave pop-up menu: Define an octave range used to switch between Transform pad
positions when you play notes within the specified range.
• Rate field: Drag vertically or use the arrows to set the speed of movement
(interpolation) between snapshots when switching from a MIDI keyboard.
• ModWheel pop-up menu: Assign your keyboard modulation wheel to a performance
control. This can be any knob, the x- or y-axis of pads, or the envelope controls. Set
to None to disable modwheel control of performance controls. A setting of None is
remembered between presets. See Logic Pro Alchemy performance control knobs,
Logic Pro Alchemy XY pads, and Logic Pro Alchemy performance control envelopes.
