STACK your MIDI FX! (Logic Pro)

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

In this video, I give a demonstration of how to stack MIDI FX to create complex MIDI FX chains! Enjoy! Support the sponsor of this video!

MIDI effects have been my favorite part of Logic since they released.

[@kingofdjembe]

I wish the Modulator were available for audio tracks though. And that there were a free mode in the Arp.

[@drvoodoo3073]

More of this please! We need more creative applications of Logic’s tools!

[@FoxRiverBridge]

Hi Josh, I wanted to take a moment to brag about the fact that because of your deep dives into Logic, I found myself advising a literal music tech professor on Alchemy, and I'm not even a music major. Really goes to show how much good you do for the world, so thank you.

[@stephaniejane-music]

Thanks for another great tip. I have been coming back to your channel a lot this week. You rescued me with your beat mapping video.🎉🎉

[@ruffcustis]

Great example of how you can build a unique pallet of colors (fx) to experiment with when you're stuck or want to experiment.

[@ErrkaPetti]

This guy is worldclass in showing Logic Pro and the power of this amazing software! Thanks Jason!

[@pianoman1862]

I think you mean Josh! 🤣

[@arcymzero]

Hey dude, I used to hate Logic so much until you taught me and opened my eyes to all these MIDI FX! Now I feel like Logic is the best in the world, and it's all thanks to you!

[@donniecutting]

This is dope, Josh. Fire Up Chips!

[@ryanperrault8174]

Awesome video, never thought to stack that many or in that order but it makes sense. thanks a lot

[@Samueljohnhorne1984]

Cool video. Will definitely have a play with this idea 👌

[@Jamminn555]

Awesome video, Josh. So helpful.

[@Gilwtt]

Killer POC ;-) and what a demonstration of Logic power

[@pianoman1862]

Great as always, thank you, Josh. Looking forward to your video re: Logic Pro 11 :)

[@neilgilmartin]

The reverse engineering at the end of this clip is a really nice touch. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

[@DexWilliamsMusic]

Nice combination of tools going on there... nicely done sir! :)

[@Boinzy476]

Super cool man. Thanks for this.

[@bassManDavis1953]

that is so cool......I had no idea about any of this.....thank you so much Josh

[@icosadodecahedron2]

I need to explore these midi fx tools more. Thanks

[@burninggiraffe6615]

This is great. Thank you

[@laskholt]

Awesome, thanks for this and all other content you share!

[@PrashantGijare]

Amazing how you turned a single note into a full groove!! Can we extend this by using buses and controlling each bus output? Would love to see if that’s possible

[@guglielmonigro]

Inspiring as usual

[@MikeyBakerMusic]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Bocaca49]

I like you clear instructions

[@plizy]

Wow truly amazing

[@leefoster4171]

Excellent

[@joefilbrun]

Nice one! I'm not sure your Modulator plugin was working as expected. The parameters on the ES2 weren't moving in response to it, and I don't think I heard any modulation.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

I just double-checked. It's working fine. If I pull up the output level it's very obvious. Also, take a look at 8:50 mark where I use it with a sine wave - you can hear the modulation very clearly there, but no movement on the ES2. For some reason when you assign a CC in the modulator it doesn't move the controls. But if I were to directly assign the modulator to those knobs without the mod wheel, you'd see them move around.

[@joefilbrun]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy Thanks for checking! OK after re-listening, you're right, it is working. I guess the subtlety of the modulation plus not seeing the controls move threw me.

[@ewewell]

Quick question, how do you import a saved loop on a keyboard to Logic Pro X

[@TrackingVHS]

What do i do if I want to keep the MIDI effects constant, but scroll through different vst patches and see how each one sounds? Why isn't there a Bus feature or something like that?

[@awesomebandhub]

Hello, I sometimes drop by your channel as I'm very interested in your comments and explanations. Today I have a question for you: I work with Logic Pro 11 and I have recently bought a new interface (SSL12) and from time to time this window appears: ‘Recognised sample rate 40.073. Check the conflict between Logic and your external device’. The sample rate chosen is 44.1 and the SSL12 interface is connected via ADAT to a Focusrite 8-channel device, being the SSL 12 the master. Do you know why? It sounds like a sync problem to me, don't you think? Do you have any idea about it? Thank you very much and best regards from Hamburg, Germany.

[@naveenamrutham1989]

Hey Hi sup ! I am new to this logic pro so many things I am learning from you could you please. Tell me the best output vocals mixing with stock plugins in logic pro It needs to sound like professional could I get a link where ur explained about the vocal mixing with stock plugins thank wait for your reply

[@soontaek]

Thank you

[@markvanhorne3276]

MTHG - I’m new to MIDI. I’m wondering if you could do a “MIDI 101” video for noobs like me. I have a Roland MIDI controller that I just use as a keyboard. What are all those faders and dials used for? In this video, you mention the “modulator wheel”. What is that. Where is it? What are “LFO” and “ENV” and all those complex controls? If you could do a video on basics of MIDI it would be great. Thanks.

[@TigerRichards]

The faders and dials -- which includes the mod wheel -- are sometimes preset by the MIDI keyboard (e.g., the mod wheel controls modulation, but consult your manual) or (more often) can be programmed to send MIDI signals to your DAW (digital audio workstation - like LOGIC PRO, as used in the video) that then control or manipulate the virtual instrument active in the DAW. The LFO (low frequency oscillator) is a means to automate the variance of some parameter (such as modulation). Without necessarily making it the focus of his video, Josh invoked a number of aspects of SYNTHESIZER programming -- a very large and dark rabbit hole. The absolute best intro to synth programming is Joe Hanley's Syntorial app. There you would learn about all the virtual knobs and buttons you saw in the ES2 synth. Learning to program your keyboard so that the physical knobs on your keyboard manipulated the virtual knobs on the ES2 is the role of the MIDI you're asking about. Unfortunately, I don't know a Josh or Joe level resource for MIDI in and of itself.

[@Shredberry]

Wow with these effect stack and a bit of automation you can literally make a song with just one singular MIDI note LOL

[@fisch723]

Changing the order of the FX will yield different results.

[@TigerRichards]

Seriously cool. Thank you. This is a fantastic introduction to MIDI effects. Now, what I really want to do is to automate the FEEDBACK knob on the DELAY plug-in. That final effect with DELAY/FEEDBACK really put it all over the top.

[@jamesbastani4295]

Won’t you break the CPU?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

MIDI FX processing requires very little CPU power.
