![]() ![]() Step FX: Powerful multi-effect plug-in adds rhythmic movement to any tracks. I loved the old legacy versions of these plugs, so I can’t wait to see where Apple has taken them. Phat FX is much of the same with 9 effects blocks and a focus on distortion/saturation. Step FX brings “eight unique effects” to add “rhythmic movement” to your tracks. Based on the old Camel Phat and Space plugs, these are certainly the kind of thing we usually only see from third parties. The interesting part here is that we can “mix and match the output section” on any of the three models in order to create custom-made signal paths.Ī direct result of Apple’s acquisition of Camel Audio, the new STEP FX and Phat FX finally bring some intricate multi-effects units to Logic. By the looks of it, these plugs were modeled after Neve and Pultec gear from back in the day. ![]() This is a nice touch considering Apple has left most of the vintage emulation to third party companies (and those can be very expensive). We are getting three new “authentic re-creations” of “vintage EQs from the 1950s to 1970s”. This decay curve makes it easy to shape the reverb to perfectly fit vocals, pianos, guitars, or synthesizers. Above the visualization is a Damping EQ curve that controls which frequencies decay longer, and which fall off more quickly. The colorful spectrum visualization responds to both audio input and onscreen controls to provide useful feedback as you alter the settings. The ChromaVerb interface is easy to learn and use. ![]() Along with a freeze function that allows you to suspend the reverb decay, you’ll find your usual room, chamber, theater and hall sounds as well as “otherworldly synthetic effects.” There is also what appears to be a dedicated reverb envelope and the ability to artificially introduce “Stereo Width”. It features a gorgeous, colorful interface with 14 different acoustic and synthetic reverb models. While Apple’s existing Space Designer reverb is getting a new design with a scalable, Retina user interface, the folks on the Logic team are very proud to introduce its latest spacial plug-in with ChromaVerb. We have broken down some of the more interesting additions below and you can expect in-depth coverage of just about everything as part of our Logic Pros series over the next few weeks. There are well over 300 enhancements in this particular update. The 20th free update for Logic Pro is certainly a substantial one with a number of new and unexpected additions. While we are getting a very long list of minor tweaks and enhancements here, version 10.4 is bringing some major new features to the table along with some serious gear in the way vintage EQ emulation, new orchestral instruments, a pair of multi-effect plug-ins and hundreds of new sounds. Apple has now released a new update for its flagship music recording software, Logic Pro X. ![]()
