Phat FX
Logic Pro Phat FX overview
Phat FX is a powerful “coloring” multi-effect designed primarily for use with drum, bass,
and guitar parts, adding warmth, punch and presence where required. It can, of course,
be used with any type of signal. Phat FX combines several effect processors, filters,
and modulators in a flexible tool that can be used to quickly enhance your projects.
Three distortion units are included, which can be used separately or blended together to
create an endless variety of tones.
The bass enhancer and bandpass filter circuits can be used to enhance low end
frequencies, making for great kick drum and bass guitar sweetening.
In addition, an easy-to-use multi-modeled compressor, a multimode resonant filter, and a
modulation effect unit are included.
Two LFOs and an envelope follower, coupled with the assignable XY pad allow powerful
automatic and real-time manipulation of the most important parameters.
Phat FX processors work in series—where the output of one effect is fed into the next in
an effects chain. The routing order lets you choose whether a distorted signal should be
filtered or the filtered sound should be distorted, for example.
Horizontally drag the name of the effect in the Effects order strip at the bottom of the
window to determine the order of the effects chain.
