What's New?

Logic Pro 10.2 gives you even more power to create electronic music with Alchemy, a next-generation synthesizer. Alchemy works hand in hand with all the beat-making and music-production features introduced in Logic Pro 10.1 to create all types of music, including EDM and Hip Hop.

Alchemy transforms everything.

Logic Pro X now includes Alchemy, a powerful sample-manipulation synthesizer. Quickly find and shape sounds from the massive Alchemy library or create your own with a choice of synthesis engines and advanced morphing tools. Produce inspiring sounds with analog-modeled filters, multiple modulation sources, an integrated arpeggiator, and a broad range of effects.

Massive library. Powerful browser

The expansive Alchemy library delivers diverse and inspiring sounds. Find sounds for any kind of music — from EDM to Hip Hop and a wide range of emerging styles. Easily pinpoint the right sound from over 3000 presets with the keyword browser. Select category, timbre, and articulation keywords to serve up the perfect set of useful sounds. Then organize your favorites with star ratings and custom keywords.

’70s Analog Synth Lead uses virtual analog oscillators and filters to re-create a classic analog lead sound.

Short Plucky Synth uses the Transform Pad to instantly jump or slowly morph between variations of the original sound.

Luscious Arp Layers uses multiple arpeggiators on different virtual analog sources within a single instrument to produce complex musical patterns.

This clip features Brassy Jazz Ensemble, a stack of additive synth brass mixed with sampled analog synth strings.

Multiple arpeggiators drive a variety of sample sounds and synthesis techniques, including virtual analog and additive, via modulation.

The Dark Currents preset shows how complex wobble-bass parts can be created with simple notes and sweeping movements on the Transform Pad.

Future Wobble Bass combines four additive synth sounds with complex modulations, all easily controlled from the Transform Pad.

The Classic preset stacks three virtual analog sources with complex modulations, for a modern update on classic ’80s analog synth leads.

A combination of presets showcases a wide range of sounds including cavernous percussion, morphing sound effects, and a uniquely filtered lead.

Performance Controls

Easily explore and play with sounds. Click and drag on the Transform Pad to smoothly transition between eight sound variations. All sounds provide thoughtfully designed Performance Controls that you can customize to suit your creative needs. And you can automate controls to add intricate and compelling movement to any Alchemy track.

One monster of a synth

Alchemy is a powerhouse synthesizer offering multiple types of synthesis in the same plug-in. Choose and combine up to four of the synth engines, which include additive, spectral, formant, granular, and virtual analog. Add a robust sampler that can import EXS24 instruments and your creative potential is limitless.

Master sound morphing

Manipulate audio in powerful new ways with the unique collection of tools Alchemy provides. Analyze and resynthesize samples using the various synth engines. Create entirely new sounds by combining distinct elements from up to four different sources. Add a thunderclap to your snare. Let a songbird introduce color and shape to a string pad. Morph seamlessly between sounds at a deep, elemental level — from, say, a breakbeat to a crashing wave and then a handclap — just by moving the puck around the Morph Pad. Or use discrete controls to dial in the perfect blend of each element. Open up an entirely new sonic frontier and experience sounds you’ve never heard before.

Virtually limitless sound shaping

Great-sounding filters and flexible modulation are key measures of a great synth. And Alchemy delivers on both. Sounds never stop evolving when you can modulate almost any parameter in so many ways. Choose from over 100 modulation sources, including a variety of LFOs, AHDSR and MSEG envelopes, and step sequencers. Sculpt sounds using 38 different filters in a variety of colors, from modeled analog to special effects. Whether you like classic synth tones overflowing with vintage character or more futuristic, spectral timbres, Alchemy filters ensure that you have plenty to love.

Built-in arpeggiation and effects

Take sounds to another level with integrated arpeggiation and effects. Arpeggiate each of four sound sources independently, generating complex, multitimbral compositions from a single chord. Sweeten or transform your sounds by applying up to 16 effects — including convolution and algorithmic reverbs, modulation effects, stereo delay, compressors, EQ, and a range of distortions — to each sound source or the whole preset at once. There are so many ways to go. Unleash modulation on any of the effect or arpeggiator parameters in Alchemy and hear the difference.

Mix, match, and swap out the kit pieces with hundreds of thumps, kicks, strikes, claps, and more. Then let your custom drum machine spark the creation of some fresh new beats.

Drum machine–style sequencing

Press any note to generate a sequence with Note Repeat. Remove notes just as simply with Spot Erase. Easily change rate, note length, and velocity on the fly to create intricate rhythmic patterns, build drama, and create big drops.
Enhanced Piano Roll Editor.

The Piano Roll Editor gives you new ways to create and manipulate MIDI data. Add or subtract a series of notes in a single swipe with the new Brush Tool. Compress and expand a selection of notes with new graphic tools. See more in less space with the Collapse view and use the Drum Name view to spot those drum-hit notes with ease.

Region-based automation.

Your automated changes are now embedded within any region, so you can repeat or loop them with all those swirling, sweeping, twisting effect parameters going along for the ride.

Powerful Tools

Your studio gets a serious upgrade with an enhanced Mixer featuring new automation modes and other tools for commanding big mixes. Save valuable time with real-time fades and the flexibility to organize plug-ins your way. And take full control of plug-ins from your iPad with Logic Remote.

More powerful Mixer.

Take total control over your mixes with pro studio console–style VCA faders. Quickly assign channels and automate their levels all from a single fader. And enjoy the freedom to view Track Stack channels in the Mixer, independent of the Tracks area.
Advanced automation.

New Relative and Trim modes let you ride a fader to fine-tune existing automation, just like on a professional mixing console. And synchronize the writing and editing of automation for multiple tracks using Track Groups.

Real-time fades.

Fades are now rendered in real time so projects load faster and fade files become a thing of the past. This change makes fades compatible with Flex Pitch and allows edits to fades to become audible without having to stop playback. The same technology is used to ensure click-free playback when cycling.

Customizable plug-in menus.

Sort and prioritize all Logic Pro X and third-party plug-ins with ease. Put your favorites at the top of the menu. And create custom categories to keep hundreds of plug-ins ready, right when you need them.
