Edit a Synth Bass Player performance in Logic Pro for Mac

You can use the Synth Bass Player styles in Logic Pro for Mac to quickly add authentic synth bass lines to your project.

In addition to the common settings available for all Session Players, the Synth Bass Player styles come with settings unique to each Synth Bass Player. They appear in the Session Player Editor when you use one of the Synth Bass Player styles for the selected Session Player region.

Figure. Synth Bass Player settings in the Session Player Editor.

The Synth Bass Player styles are Pump Bass, 808 Bass, and Sequenced Bass.

Adjust the octave and melody for synth basses

  • In the Main view of the Logic Pro Session Player Editor for the Synth Bass Player styles, drag the puck to a different position in the XY pad.

The farther to the right you place the puck, the more notes are played in addition to the root note; the higher you place the puck, the more often notes move up or down in octaves (with the number of octaves depending on the note range setting).

Set the note range for synth basses

You can set the range of notes within a Synth Player bass line.

  • In the Main view of the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, drag the left and right sliders to set the range of notes used by the Synth Bass Player.

    Tip: You can shift the range up or down by clicking the area between the handles and dragging left or right.

Add repeats and triplets to the 808 Bass style

For the 808 Bass style, you can embellish the bass line with repeated notes and triplets.

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor for the 808 Bass style, click the Details button, then do either of the following:

    • Add repeats: Drag the Repeats knob vertically.

Adjust the sound of the Pump Bass style

The Pump Bass style uses modulated ducking to create a pumping effect similar to a sidechained compressor.

    • Change the intensity of the ducking effect: Drag the Amount knob vertically.

    • Change the shape of the ducking curve: Drag the Shape knob vertically.

Change the phrase length

In Details view for the Synth Bass Player styles, you can change the length of the phrase. The phrase is a sequence of notes that forms a distinct musical idea, such as a repeating bass line. You can set the phrase length to different musical values or to the length of the chords that the region is following.

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, click the Details button, click the Phrase Length pop-up menu, then choose a different length from the menu.

Add phrase variations to Synth Bass Player styles

Add slides for Synth Bass Players

For Synth Bass Player styles in Logic Pro, you can add portamento, or slides, to the bass lines.

    • To change the number of notes that are retriggered when sliding: Drag the Legato value. When the Legato value is 0, all notes get retriggered when the slide reaches the note; when the value is set to 100, no notes are retriggered.

    • To change where the slide starts in relation to the notes: Choose an option from the Start pop-up menu.

    • To add curves to the slides: Drag the Curve value vertically. You can also drag vertically on the slide curve to set and alter the curve shape.

    • To add S-shaped curves to the slides: Click the S Curve button. This has no effect when the Curve value is set to 0.

Change the slide mode for Synth Bass Players

In Logic Pro, if you use the Synth Bass Player styles with the Studio Bass plug-in or another synthesizer plug-in, you can set the slide mode to send slide information to those plug-ins.

  • In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, click the Slides button, click the More button , then choose any of the following from the Slide Mode pop-up menu:

    • Pitch Bend: Pitch bend automation is used to generate slides. This is the default setting for the Synth Bass Players.

    • Overlap: Overlaps are created between notes where slides should occur. The receiving synth plays slides if it’s in mono legato mode and has a glide or portamento set. When Overlap is activated, all slide parameters with the exception of the Amount slider have no effect.
