Step FX global controls in Logic Pro for iPad
The Step FX global controls include the Effects order strip, which you can use to enable or disable individual effects and to reposition effects within the effects chain. The XY pad provides real-time control of up to four target parameters. Drag the gray control point to simultaneously modulate your targets. The parameters of the XY pad and the Master controls are described in the respective sections below.
Effects order strip
The order and status of active and inactive effects units are indicated in the strip. Inactive effects are dimmed, and active effects are illuminated. The signal flow runs from left to right.
Effects order strip: Drag the name of an active (lit) or inactive (dimmed) effect horizontally to change the effects order.
XY pad parameters
XY pad: Drag the gray dot horizontally or vertically to change the value of the assigned X or Y target parameters.Assign X and Y On/Off buttons: Enable/disable the X or Y controller.
X Target 1/2 pop-up menus: Choose one or two modulation targets from any active effect processor, modulation source, or Master control section.
X Depth 1/2 fields: Set the modulation amount/range for the chosen X target(s).
Y Target 1/2 pop-up menus: Choose one or two modulation targets from any active effect processor, modulation source, or Master control section.
Y Depth 1/2 fields: Set the modulation amount/range for the chosen Y target(s).
Master controls
Input Gain knob and field: Set the input level of the plug-in.
- Mix knob and field: Set the level of the original versus processed signal. This is essentially a wet/dry balance control.
Output knob and field: Set the overall output level of the plug-in.
