The table outlines sources available in the Via pop-up menu which can be used to control the modulation intensity.
Via source | Comments |
|---|---|
Side Chain | Side Chain modulation uses a side-chain signal as a modulation intensity (trigger) signal. You can choose the side-chain source from the Side Chain pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the plug-in window. It is fed to the internal envelope follower, which creates a modulation value based on the current side-chain input signal level. |
Maximum | Sets the value of this source to +1. |
ENV 1 | Envelope Generator 1 controls the modulation intensity. |
ENV 2 (Amp) | Envelope Generator 2 controls the modulation intensity. |
LFO 1 | The modulation uses the speed and waveform of LFO 1, which controls the modulation intensity. |
LFO 2 | The modulation uses the speed and waveform of LFO 2, which controls the modulation intensity. |
LFO 3 | The modulation uses the speed and waveform of LFO 3, which controls the modulation intensity. |
Release Velocity | The modulation will be more or less intense depending on how quickly you release the key. Note: This requires a keyboard that sends release velocity information. |
Pressure | If you choose Pressure (also known as aftertouch) from the Via pop-up menu, the modulation intensity will be touch sensitive—modulation will be more or less intense depending on how firmly you press the key of your touch-sensitive MIDI keyboard after the initial keystrike. |
Pitch Bend | The pitch bend wheel controls the modulation intensity. |
Key | Key(board) outputs the keyboard position—the MIDI note number. The center point is C3, an output value of 0. Five octaves below and above, an output value of −1 or +1, respectively, is sent. If you select Pitch as the destination, modulate it with the LFO1 source, and select Key as the via value, the vibrato depth changes, depending on key position. In other words, the vibrato depth will be different for notes higher or lower than the defined Key(board) position. |
Velocity | The modulation intensity will be velocity sensitive; modulation will be more or less intense depending on how quickly—that is, how hard—you strike the key. |
--- | Disables the via source. |
MIDI Controllers 1–120 | Modulation intensity is determined by the MIDI controller value you choose. Controllers 7 and 10 are marked Not available. Logic Pro X uses these controllers for volume and pan automation of channel strips. Controller 11 is marked Expression. It has a fixed connection to this function, but it can also be used to control other modulation sources. |
