By drakepeterdrake , July 12, in Logic Pro. Please forgive the basic nature of this question, but is there a manual for Alchemy? My usual method of just twisting knobs and seeing what happens is not yielding the results i need, but I'm sure Alchemy is capable of it. I've gone into the advanced page, but I must be overlooking some switch that makes different parameters, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I followed the link and did some reading, but I'm obviously missing some key step. In the attached screenshot, I took a 4-beat sequence, which looks to be divided into 16th notes. Nothing i do in the window which shows the sequencer produces any changes.

As a test, I was just trying to progressively lower the level of each 16th note, but there is no change; all the 16th notes play at the same volume. I imagine there must be a way to make changes in the sequencer window active, but i can't seem to do it. Well, I have never made a sound from scratch in Alchemy, so I am not "fluent" with it, but I'd like to give it a shot. Questions: when you say you "I took a 4-beat sequence, which looks to be divided into 16th notes", does that mean this was a preset, or did you load a sample into it?

If it was a preset, what was the original called? In that patch above checked in my library version , Alchemy is playing a drum loop sample, and the Sequencer modulator by default is not routed to anything, so any changes you make to the sequencer will have no audible effect, as it's not modulating anything! Show Target doesn't show the Sequencer modulator at all.

Set it to modulate, for example, Volume, or Filter Cutoff, and change the steps, and you'll hear it do the step modulation thing. It'll also show up in "Show target" now too If you're not sure how modulation works in Alchemy, check the manual and do some example routings and you'll get the hang of it - or post back here if you're not sure.

Here I've assigned the sequencer to modulate the volume of the loop - which I believe is something you were looking for? Thank you both. I think I'm tantalizingly close I added the modulation as Erik showed. I made the attached screenshot. I would think that, the way I have it, I would only hear sound at the downbeat, and then at steps 4 and 9, but the entire 1-bar loop plays at full volume.

I'm used to working with audio samplers, so I ended up bouncing the sequence and then cutting it up with flex time and manipulating it, but I imagine there's a more direct way to do it. I appreciate your patience. You have zero modulation depth, so in effect you are modulating the volume by nothing, so there will be no change from the modulator.

Increase you can also decrease, it's bipolar the mod depth - the "Depth" knob to the right of the Sequencer modulation source. I got the volume to work by playing with the depth, as you pointed out. I promise this will be my last question for today: I threw caution to the wind and tried to do the same with the swing function. So far, I have had no success. I put all the bars in the sequence up as far as they would go, as i want maximum swing on each beat There is no audible difference.

The sequencer isn't playing the beats. The term "sequencer" is, I think, misleading you. It's simply a series of rhythmic modulation stages which you can route to various synth parameters.

If you have a single raw synth waveform playing, and you route the step sequencer to the filter, and change the step heights which is the depth of modulation for each step in time , the filter will "burble" in sync.

In this patches' case, we are simply playing a drum loop sample. The step sequencer is simply a modulation source ticking along in time with the sample playback. Now, we've routed the step sequencer to modulate the source volume, so we can raise or lower the volume of that source any given 16th beat in the bar - the height of the step dictates the amount of volume modulation for each step.

Now, when we "swing" the steps, what's happening is the step modulator's timing gets swung, so now some of those steps will be shifted later in time. This means now that the steps in the sequencer won't line up exactly with the beats in the sample - because those are straight 16ths. When you'll hear is that as you turn up the swing, the swung beats will start "missing" some of the straight 16th transients in the sample.

If the drum loop is confusing you, try it on a straight simple, non beat sample, like a straight waveform. The timing of the sequencer steps will be more obvious as it's not super-imposed on a straight 16th rhythmic sample.

That definitely explains it. This is a more sophisticated form of modulation automation than I'm used to and you're right, I was trying to make it do something it's not designed to do.

As I wrote earlier, I ended up converting it to audio to get what I want and now I won't waste any more time trying to make it do something it can't. Thanks again. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

There was a preset called Busy Groove. I think des99 said it all. The sequencer does run, but it doesn't do anything I found the original preset Busy Groove. You have to route it.

I do understand why it may look as if it is connected to the loop, but it isn't, really. You get that dropdown by ctrl-clicking or rightclicking the knob. I threw caution to the wind and tried to do the same with the swing function. You're welcome. Join the conversation You can post now and register later. Reply to this topic Insert image from URL.
