Here Are Some Cool Logic Pro X + Reason Rack Tips

And we have our first question from the audience:

HOW DO I USE EUROPA'S ENVELOPE TO MODULATE ALCHEMY'S FILTER?

TOO EASY.

1. Insert a Reason Rack Plugin into Logic's MIDIfx slot, add Europa, and then a midi out module.
2. Connect CV OUT 1 to CV1 IN
3. In Europa's mod matrix set ENV1 as your source and CV1 OUT as the destination. The set the midi out device's CC output to 2.

In Alchemy, touch the filter cutoff dial to make it active in Alchemy's modulation section. Click the first modulation source and select MIDI CC #2.

Now set the depth/amount levels on Alchemy and Europa to taste.

And in case it isn't obvious, you can chain multiple Reason Players and Logic Midifx (using the 'Learn Plugin Parameter' function) to simultaneously modulate multiple parameters on Alchemy (or any other synth):

HOW TO MOVE THE TRANSPORT TO THE BOTTOM, JUST LIKE IN REASON

Quick tip.

1. So Logic normally looks like this
2. We're going top hide the transport by moving our pointer to the dividing line between the transport and the toolbar.
3. And then when it turns into this icon:

Click-hold and drag the line up:

Then in Logic's toolbar go to Window/Open Transport Float.


Then position it like this:

YW!

The Logic + RRP combo is really great and once you get used to the two working together you'll feel right at home.
