Sync Envelope slider: Determine the amount that envelope parameters affect the sound.
Cutoff slider: Allow less sound through at low values and more at high values, damping
the sound or making it brighter.
Attack slider: Make the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like
striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
Decay slider: Make the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer
time at slow values. Faster values move to the sustain level more quickly.
Sustain slider: Determine the level of the sound after the Attack or Decay phase has
completed.
Logic Pro Legacy Digital Basic
Digital Basic, which is based on the ES2, can generate simple digital synthesizer sounds
that are useful for a range of musical styles.
Volume slider: Set the overall volume level of the instrument.
Mix slider: Mix two tones together.
Tuning slider: Set the overall pitch of the instrument.
Harmonics slider: Increase or decrease the number of harmonics, or overtones, in the
sound. This can change the sound dramatically or subtly, so feel free to experiment.
Timbre slider: Change the color of the sound from dark to bright.
Attack slider: Make the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like
striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
Decay slider: Make the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer
time at slow values. Faster values move to the sustain level more quickly.
Release slider: Determine the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the
keys on your keyboard.
Logic Pro Legacy Digital Mono
Digital Mono, which is based on the ES2, is ideal for monophonic digital synthesizer lead
sounds.
Volume slider: Set the overall volume level of the instrument.
Tuning slider: Set the overall pitch of the instrument.
Harmonics slider: Increase or decrease the number of harmonics, or overtones, in the
sound, with more values making the sound a little thicker and less values making it
thinner.
Timbre slider: Change the color of the sound from dark to bright.
Timbre Envelope slider: Dynamically change the color of the sound, depending on how
hard you strike the keyboard.
Low values result in little or no effect on the color of the sound, no matter how hard
you play the keys.
High values result in significant changes in the sound, in response to firmer or softer
keyboard playing.
