Each modwheel target offers an inverted option. This is useful when using a spring-
loaded modulation wheel as it stops the target performance control from closing when
the modulation wheel is released.
• Snap Vol field: Set the intensity of change from one snapshot to the next. In essence,
this sets an initial level between snapshots.
All snapshots should be approximately the same volume, with a peak level around -5dB.
You should also be mindful of relative volume levels between snapshots. For example,
a soft pad and a distorted lead could both peak at -5dB, but the lead may seem louder.
In this scenario, lower the volume of the lead, rather than increase the pad level, so that
relative volume levels seem similar between the pad and lead sounds.
Create and store a Transform pad snapshot
Unique variations should be created for each snapshot. Though the degree of variation
is up to you, the changes should be significant, rather than simple filter or effect level
changes. If your snapshots all sound like basic variations of the same sound, look at
changing your performance control assignments to make them more flexible and complex.
This will allow you to create more interesting and dynamic snapshots.
1. In Logic Pro, click the snapshot you want to use.
2. Set each of the performance controls as required.
3. Control-click anywhere on the Transform pad, then choose Store Current Snapshot from
the shortcut menu.
Note: Store Current Snapshot only applies if; Update Snapshot is disabled in the Transform
pad File pop-up menu, if the framing box is not directly aligned with a Transform pad slot,
or if you want to save the current settings to a different Transform pad slot.
Name or rename the selected Transform pad snapshot
Aim for a unique and descriptive name for each snapshot. Keep things simple and clear; if
snapshot 1 is a bass, snapshot 2 is a pad, and snapshot 3 is arpeggiated, this should be
represented in the name. If your variations are less straightforward to differentiate, use a
name that describes the effect on the sound.
Note: Snapshot names are indexed and appear as text search results in the Browser.
Snapshot names are also passed to Smart Controls.
1. In Logic Pro, click the snapshot you want to name or rename.
2. Control-click anywhere on the Transform pad, then choose Rename Current from the
shortcut menu.
3. Enter text in the highlighted text input field, then press Enter.
Replicate the selected Transform pad snapshot
1. In Logic Pro, click the snapshot you want to replicate.
2. Control-click anywhere on the Transform pad, then choose Store Current Snapshot from
the shortcut menu.
3. Control-click anywhere on the Transform pad, then choose Store Snapshot > (target
snapshot) 1-8, or All from the shortcut menu.
The stored snapshot is replicated in the target snapshot. If All is chosen, all eight
snapshots are identical.
