Lesson transcript
Welcome to the MIDI and Synths Section
Both MIDI and synths are super important to the creation of music inside of Logic.
Overview of Synthesis
In this section, we're going to talk a little bit about synthesis.
- We can't cover it all because it's such a huge subject, really super in depth.
- However, we're going to get you going on it all.
Exploring Logic Synths
We're going to look at Logic synths, which I use all the time in my productions.
Understanding MIDI
We're also going to talk about MIDI:
- How we can get information from MIDI controllers into the synths in Logic.
- A little bit about MIDI effects.
Creative Applications
We'll explore some of the cool, interesting, creative things we can do with our sounds, such as:
- Triggering chords
- Arpeggiating our sounds
It's super fun! I use these features all the time, so let's dive in.
