There are a handful of restrictions on element combinations within a single source. You
can circumvent such restrictions when creating your sound by using a different synthesis
method (or combination of methods) for each of the four sources.
If you are new to synthesizers and different synthesis methods, see Synthesizer basics
overview.
Logic Pro Alchemy source master controls
Source components are shown only in advanced view. Click the Advanced button to switch
to advanced view.
At the left of the source section are six buttons: Global, A, B, C, D, and Morph. Colored
indicators to the left of each button denote the following: blue = active source, green =
morphing enabled for the source.
Source mode buttons: Click Global to view all sources. Click A, B, C, or D to view a single
source. Click Morph to use morph mode. Option-click A, B, C, or D to view and solo the
source.
When the Global button is on, the source master controls are displayed. The main filter and
master voice controls are also displayed when Global is active. See Logic Pro Alchemy main
filter controls and Logic Pro Alchemy master voice section.
When the A, B, C, or D button is on, the subpage controls for the selected source are
displayed. See Logic Pro Alchemy source subpage controls.
When the Morph button is on, source morphing parameters are displayed. See Logic Pro
Alchemy morph controls.
The source select field in each source does double duty as a VU meter that shows the
current output level from the source into the main filter section. When the output level
exceeds 0 dB, it clips the input of the main filter section, and the VU meter turns red. This
is useful for quickly determining the cause of unwanted distortion.
