Create synchronized rhythmic pulsing chord patterns in Alchemy
1. In Logic Pro, from the Name bar, click the File button and choose Initialize Preset from
the pop-up menu to reset all Alchemy parameters to default settings.
2. Click the Arp button to show the arpeggiator section. All is selected by default.
3. Turn the Mode knob to Chord.
4. Set the Rate knob to 1/4. You can also choose to use a small Swing knob value to create
a looser feel.
5. Click the Multi button to switch to Multi edit mode.
6. Turn off a significant number of steps to make the pattern simpler. For example, enable
only steps 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 15 to create a triplet polyrhythm.
7. Choose Off in the Trigger pop-up menu to prevent the arpeggiator from retriggering
when you play a chord.
8. You can choose to perform similar operations on further patterns, chosen with the
Pattern knob. Use different values for each pattern to create complex polyrhythms.
9. As a further option, Control-click the Pattern knob, then choose Add Modulation from
the shortcut menu, and link it to one of the performance controls. This lets you use the
assigned performance control to switch between patterns while playing.
Alchemy effects section
Logic Pro Alchemy effects overview
Effect modules are shown only in browse or advanced view. Click the Browse or Advanced
button to switch to either view, then click the Effect button in the Perform/Arp/Effects
section.
The Alchemy effects section houses a powerful multi-effects processor that provides five
independent effects racks: Main, A, B, C, and D. Each rack allows you to insert chains of
effects. The signal flows through inserted effects from the top to the bottom of each rack.
You can achieve different sonic outcomes by changing the order of effects in each rack.
• Individual sources (post source filters, if used) can be routed to the A/B/C/D racks. See
Logic Pro Alchemy source master controls and Logic Pro Alchemy source filters.
• The main filters can be independently routed to the Main/A/B/C/D racks. See Logic Pro
Alchemy main filter controls.
