Join Brian Trifon for an in-depth discussion in this video Adjusting the Pickups and Global Voice Settings, part of Logic Pro: Virtual Instruments.
So after the objects are set and the string is vibrating, the next step in the…signal flow is the pickups.…So the pickups--there is A right here and we have pickup B right here--…they're like electric guitar pickup.…So they pick up the string's vibration.…From there the signal goes to the amp envelope.…So let's take a look at what we can do with the pickups.…First, I am just going to try to create some sort of simple sound and then we…can explore the features of the pickups.…I am going to change object 1 to a different type of excitation method.…
So we will set this to a GravStrike. And I will just adjust some parameters here.…And let's just have one more object affecting this string as well.…So let's have object 3 disturb the string's vibration, and we will use the Mass.…(music playing)…Then of course, I can adjust where they're happening on the strings.…(music playing)…Okay, I will just give this sound a little bit less Media Loss, so it rings out more.…
So there we go. If I take pickup A here and I move it, you can hear that changes the character of the sound.…
