A huge thankyou for this. We are recording in the studio next week as part of the course and this technique will be beneficial
Great! Good luck with the sessions.
The step sequencer is so powerful . it's been a great addition . Learnt something new here -thank you
It's a phenomenal option within Logic. Endless possibilities!
@ a lot of my producer friends use Ableton or Bitwig and my answer - Step Sequencer in Logic is different gravy and complex and simple at the same time 👍🏻
Have you been working out Jono?
Every. Damn. Day. ; )
@jonobuchananmusic that's the way :-)
Great as ever JB -thank you
You're most welcome.
Crikey, you must be psychic! I was trying to do something similar earlier today (and making a bit of a hash of it) Thank you!! Just an afterthought, what is the double bass you’re using, please? The string buzz and rattle is great!
Thanks Peter - delighted to hear this was helpful. The Bass is the Upright from Logic's own Studio Bass instrument.
Great video I needed this for information in a class at Belmont University. I appreciate it!
Happy to help!
neat setup
Thanks a lot for taking the time... This is an amazing resource.
Thank you so much, that's very generous and is greatly appreciated. If you have a particular interest in Orchestral Programming, do check out my courses on Teachable too: jono-buchanan-music-s-school.teachable.com
Thank you soooo much for this video Jono! I think it's the first video about this subject that I've enjoyed watching! 😄
That's great to hear! Many thanks. If Orchestral Programming is of particular interest to you, do check out my courses on Teachable too. jono-buchanan-music-s-school.teachable.com
Wow this is fantastic but you should be wearing a white professor coat 😂😂😂 I’m definitely gonna be changing this out👍👍👍
Ha! Now there's an idea! ; )
1 mic piano it’s actually the best, not only in Logic but of all I ever played
Great! Glad you've found a piano which feels like home.
Can you set this to groove?
Yes you can. In the Pattern Region, click the 'Local Inspector' button (looks like two sliders stacked vertically) and from the sidebar, select the 8th or 16th note Swing value you want.
Thanks for this. So, is there no way to use the dialog to create a smooth curve without all those nodes?
Hi. There isn't a way to do that directly having created a Tempo using the Tempo Operations function. But, once you've created a ramp with a series of steps, you can open the Tempo Track, retain the first point and the last and then delete all of the intermediate points to create a smooth ramp.
Please, more videos on the Step Sequencer! It’s one of Logic’s newer features and it’s a topic that isn’t covered enough
Absolutely, plenty more to come on this topic. Many thanks.
Hi Jono, What all the sample libraries and software plugin are required in order to do your course ? can you give a complete list of them ,.. of course ,its going to be exceptional course of yours, I want to make sure that all plugins and sample libraries i should have before i start your course. Thank you
Thanks so much for your interest in the courses. For Orchestral Programming 01, the only sample library I’m using is the Spitfire Audio ‘Spitfire Symphony Orchestra’. I deliberately chose just one library. The second course uses a wider variety of resources. The way I’ve taught and showcased the techniques is aimed at giving you a chance to watch and listen to the musical results of the choices I’ve made. That way, rather than buying everything, you can see which libraries and effects are in line with your musical interests. If you’re interested in both courses, my advice would be to buy the bundle and to buy the Spitfire SSO. I would then watch all of the first course and copy/follow the techniques explored. Then I’d move onto the second course but, first time through, just watch it all through before deciding which additional resources, if any, appeal to you. Remember, you can then watch it again once you’ve purchased any additional libraries or plug-ins. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@jonobuchananmusic Thank you so much Jono. This is enough in order to follow 01 course . Thank you once again . Your lessons always great and easy to understand and apply .
32:25 Just for clarification: ”[In a previous video], Effectively what I did was to take one note and through a series of auxiliary treatments, create a piece of music where one note fed an auxiliary which then triggered a series of effects which sent to another one. What if we were to take this delay and send it to another auxiliary with maybe a reverb or a distortion on it or something else, that whereby randomly selected and generated tape delays then randomly selected something else by feeding that signal on somewhere else again because we can control that second send, the send that would be coming from the tape delay to whatever that other effect would be again we can set up another level of complexity to our mix. I think this is endlessly fascinating.” I look very much forward to seeing and hearing this in action. 💥
Absolutely, more to come in this lane. But don't wait for me - feel free to sprint there first and I'll meet you there!
@jonobuchananmusic Well, there is a good laid out plan here, nothing stopping us from re-tracing your steps.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks Jono🙏 erm, could you have a word with Apple please? because all we need now is Logic to be able to send cv/gate to our modular gear.
I'm not sure they're listening to me, Didier! But that would be a lovely development, for sure.
Absolutely loving this pattern sequence series. You're an endless inspiration, Jono. Thank you
That's very kind, thank you. Glad it's proving useful.
Stunning. You take absolutely everything to the next level. Here I go again.... Spent last night playing around and now have a very haunting harmonic minor underscore. Thanks Jono 🤝
So glad to hear it's triggered some new ideas. Many thanks!
great video
Many thanks
fantastic stuff Jono as always. thank you. 🤍🤍🤍
You’re welcome, as always!
another great video!! curious, what is the device bottom left of the screen with a wooden object sitting on top of something that has a knob??? thanks,
Thanks! It’s the Expressive E Touché controller.
Something very useful I discovered recently: although you can't put a sample-and-hold midi Modulator on an aux send effect, you *can* use step sequencer randomized "slide" automation on its corresponding track if you want to randomize the effect parameters over time. You're really batting it out of the park since the new year, Jono, between these delightful sequencer videos and the ones about unconventional/interesting approaches to "basic" functions like Bounce In Place, Remove Silence, etc. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
This is great, thank you.
This is just what I needed right now!
Great timing!
Amazing work Jono! Everything you post is 100% killer and 0% filler
because its tuition for the sake of paying . its not for the sake of a video like more people on the tube! This man is a legend! Hes in no need of being a RUclipsr hes doing it because he wants to! Legendary!
Thanks so much. 🙏
My goodness, your videos are taking music creation to a whole new level. Amazing stuff, thank you 👍
Thanks so much, Peter. As always!
Play with the "loop" feature!
Yes, plenty of creative opportunities lie that way! All yours… 😉
sounds like a radiohead intro
Thank you! I’ll definitely take that as a compliment. 😇
Thank you Jono. This is excellent.
You’re most welcome.
"Resolation" is when you suddenly realise your elated? Surprise elation . . . the best kind
The VERY best kind! 😉
Do you ever hide or label what’s not being used - such as calling the synth 1 midi and synth 1 audio ?
You can absolutely do that if it helps you keep tabs on what’s what in your project. Good idea. 👍
Logic pro noob here. I have ver 11.0.1 I cant seem to find those pianos. Can you help me?
Hi. And welcome. My best guesses would be that you either haven't downloaded the Sound Library for Logic Pro (Logic Pro > Sound Library > Download All Available Sounds) or that you don't have the Complete Features enabled (Logic Pro > Settings > Advanced > click the box to Enable Complete Features). My only other thought would be that whilst your software is up to date, the hardware you're using won't enable that Instrument. Could you let me know the spec of your Mac?
Grain Drama! 🎭

JUST LIKE A BASS SOUND! you're hilarious
Thanks!
What a fantastic tip, thank you so much.
You're welcome.
I have watched the first 4:29min of this video and I had to stop to write this. I've been doing this for 158 light years and this is the best visual explanation on this specific subject I've ever seen on the net. I've watched the greatest mixing masters try to explain this in many different ways, and none comes as close as this didactic. *THANK YOU!*
Oh no, the best bit comes at 4:31! 😉 All jokes aside, that’s extremely kind - huge thanks.
@jonobuchananmusic that was a good one😁
I find that I am using the channel eq more often to create a balance. The panning fx makes a difference. Fuller more distinct sound.
Great to hear, Rene. Many thanks.
I have just a question : do we have to change midi channel for each instruments? Or more globally, when do we have to change midi channel? Thank you very much for your very well synthesized work.
Hi Alain. Many thanks and great question. The answer is no. If you create an Articulation Map as I have in the video, even if you set Channel 1 as the Output routing for Articulation switching, this will work with instruments set to MIDI Channels 2-16 as well as 1.
“Stereocity?”
It’s where we all live - inside one outrageously excellent sound system. 😉
Thanks Jono for another wonderful tutorial. This area of music technology is often overlooked or worse still misunderstood and therefore misused. You've highlighted and solved the dilemma.
Great to hear it was helpful. Thank you!
I have to confess I never use a multipresser. I prefer to compress individual elements on their own track. I get more control that way. Is there any benefit in using one like this?
Compressor is almost always the Dynamics plug-in to use on individual sounds, as you say. But on the Output Channel, it can be the case that one group of frequencies hits a Stereo Compressor hard enough that, for instance, the Bass end negatively impacts a Dynamic response for the mid-range and top end. If that’s happening, you can either sidechain the low-end response of a Stereo Compressor or use a multiband Compressor, which will divide up the signal into different frequency groups for independent processing.
Always a pleasure, Jono, thank you! You have such a great way of conveying these tricky, subjective topics in a way that makes me really understand, while also instilling the confidence that I can make the concept work for me and my own project/creative vision. I really appreciate that gift of empowerment.
Thank you so much.
Great Stuff Jono. Could you also achieve a similar result with a gate?
You sure could but there are some advantages to working this way which would need Automation if you were working with a Gate. Someone else asked a similar question on this episode, so do have a quick look at my answer. Huge thanks for your question.
I hear what you mean about the look of this interface, but frankly, I still like it better than those fake buttons with shadows, or "beat up" looking units. That's gimmicky and unserious in my opinion. My favorite interfaces are simple, modern and clean, Soothe II being a great example. Thanks for making the Multipressor a little less scary.
Hi Johannes. Many thanks! Regarding your comments about the interface, I completely agree. I think a refresh, in the way that many of Logic’s other plug-ins have been refreshed, would be the way to go. The colour palette of Space Designer or Tape Delay would feel better - to me - than Multipressor’s slightly washed out look. FabFilter’s Pro-MB is the design standard for a Multiband Compressor, I think.
@jonobuchananmusic Maybe they'll change the design to celebrate the unlikely event that I'll finally figure out how to use it! 😁 You've been very helpful on that long and winding road.
Super helpful. Thanks
You're welcome!
I have a much clearer understanding of the differences and options after watching this. Clear information and examples delivered by a pleasant, non- invasive personality make it so much easier for the less technical among us to grasp some of the finer points which might contribute toward the improvement our work. I am so grateful to have access this channel. Thank you very much.
You’re most welcome. Thanks so much for the kind words.
I hope this works. I have been trying to get this working for a better part of a day. Another video says to send the external midi down a buss and bring it back in an audio track for recording. When I record that way I get an empty track. Another video says the do a real time bounce...again empty track. From your video I think it may be that I don't have an audio interface yet. I was thinking maybe that's the problem. My synth connects, and I can create the external midi track so printing is the issue right now. I can also use my Fantom as a DAW control. Keyboard seems fine. Right now I monitor through the Fantom headphone jack. I think maybe that connection is giving me a false sense of being full connected to Logic.
That’s absolutely right. You’ll need an audio interface to record the sounds from the synth into Logic. There are two types of ‘message’ required to record sounds from External synths. The first part, MIDI, is letting you send Control messages to/from your synth. But to record its sounds, you’ll need an audio interface, with the outputs from your synth plugged into the interfaces inputs.
