75Logic Pro Effects
Logic Pro Distortion effect
The Distortion effect simulates the low fidelity distortion generated by a bipolar transistor.
You can use it to simulate playing a musical instrument through a highly overdriven
amplifier or to create unique distorted sounds.
Distortion parameters
Drive knob and field: Set the amount of saturation applied to the signal.
Tone knob and field: Set the frequency for the high cut filter. Filtering the harmonically
rich distorted signal produces a softer tone.
Output knob and field: Set the output level.
Level Compensation button: Turn on to reference the overall processing of the signal
to 0 dB. This compensates for increases in loudness caused by adding distortion.
Display: Shows the impact of parameters on the signal.
Logic Pro Distortion II
Distortion II emulates the distortion circuit of a Hammond B3 organ. You can use it on
musical instruments to recreate this classic effect or can use it creatively when designing
new sounds.
Distortion II parameters
PreGain knob and field: Set the amount of gain applied to the input signal.
Drive knob and field: Set the amount of saturation applied to the signal.
Tone knob and field: Boosts the integrated high shelf filter gain both pre- and
post-distortion, which results in a different tone.
