MXH Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Howdy all! I've been listening to OK Orchestra by AJR a lot recently, and they utilise instrument morphing! (Cleanly transitioning between multiple instruments/sounds) I was wondering if there were ways of achieving this within Logic which weren't just automating the levels. Here's an example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Alchemy can morph between sounds using the morph pads. Can't watch the video, there there are many ways to "transition" between sounds, from simple crossfading, through the various synth modulation features, through effects such as vocoding or impulse convolution to blend one signal with another, through to audio transforms like Prosoniq's "Morph" plugin does, depending on the effect you are trying to achieve.

Solution cinningbao Posted July 27, 2021 Solution Share Posted July 27, 2021 Interesting sound design-ey music That weird solo thingie which goes form a vocal to a distorted guitar to a marimba; that's what you mean isn't it? It's difficult to know exactly what tool he's using but it's not a regular sampler. Alchemy has Additive and Spectral resynthesis and you could get very close by importing a vocal sample and mucking around with the pitch and formant (in Spectral) and playback speed, fading in some distortion and a bit of filter. Or you could try it with an audio sample directly on an audio channel. Flatten it in Flex Pitch mode, bounce that out and stretch and squeeze that while automating the pitch and formant with Autotune or Alterboy or something like that. Vocal Transformer if you're using stock plugins. The last bit which turns into the marimba sounds like a normal volume fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
