Use ES2 Mod Matrix slots in Logic Pro for iPad
Mod Matrix Slots 1–10 provide extensive modulation routing and control options. If you're new to synthesizer modulation routings, see Modulation overview.
Tap the Mod Matrix button to view and set ES2 modulation routings.
Any modulation source can be connected to any modulation target, much like an old-fashioned telephone exchange or a studio patch bay.
The modulation intensity—how strongly the target is influenced by the source—is set with the vertical sliders to the right of the modulation routing.
The intensity of the modulation can itself be modulated: the Via parameter defines a further modulation source, which is used to control the modulation intensity. When a via source is active, you can specify upper and lower limits for the modulation intensity.
Ten such modulation routings of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously. It doesn’t matter which of the ten modulation routings you use. You can even select the same target in several parallel modulation routings. You can also use the same sources and the same via controllers in multiple modulation routings.
Create a basic modulation routing in ES2
In a Logic Pro ES2 Mod Matrix slot, choose the Target parameter you want to modulate.
Choose the Source parameter you want to use for modulation of the target.
Drag the Amount slider to set a fixed modulation value.
When Via is active, this slider sets the minimum modulation intensity.
The Via Amount slider sets the maximum modulation intensity.
Bypass a modulation routing in ES2
In Logic Pro ES2, tap the On/Off button at the top left of each Mod Matrix slot.
This lets you bypass individual modulation routings, without losing settings.
