Ensemble effect in Logic Pro for iPad

Ensemble can add richness and movement to sounds, particularly when you use a high number of voices. It is useful for thickening parts, but you can also use it for strong pitch variations between voices, resulting in a detuned quality to processed material. Ensemble combines up to eight chorus effects. Two standard LFOs and one random LFO let you create complex modulations.

To add Ensemble to your project, choose Modulation > Ensemble in a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins. Also see Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins in the Plug-ins area and Work with plug-ins in the Mixer.

Ensemble parameters

  •  Voices control and field: Set the number of chorus instances (voices) generated in addition to the original signal.

  •  Spread knob and field: Distribute voices across the stereo field. You can set a value of 200% to artificially expand the stereo base. Note that monaural compatibility may suffer if you do this.

  •  Phase knob and field: Control the phase relationship between the individual voice modulations. The value you choose here is dependent on the number of voices, which is why it is shown as a percentage value rather than in degrees. The value 100 (or −100) indicates the greatest possible distance between the modulation phases of all voices.

  • Effect Volume knob and field: Compensate for effects signal volume changes caused by adjusting the Voices value.

  •  Mix control and field: Set the balance between dry and wet signals.

  • LFO 1/LFO 2/Random On/Off buttons: Turn on or turn off LFO 1, LFO 2, or the random LFO independently.

  • LFO 1/LFO 2/Random Rate knobs and fields: Set the frequency of LFO 1, LFO 2, and random modulation.

  • LFO 1/LFO 2/Random Intensity knobs and fields: Set the amount of LFO 1, LFO 2, and random modulation.
