Logic Pro: EVOC20 Freeze Sequencing

One of the EVOC 20’s most powerful and yet almost hidden features is its Freeze button, which acts as a kind of sample-and-hold auto-looper for a tiny section of audio. In this week’s episode, we’re going to route a beat loop into Logic’s Vocoder, as we have before. But this time, we’re going to Automate the Freeze button, in combination with a couple of Formant-based parameters, to create what I’m calling a ‘Freeze Sequencing’ process. Later in the video, we’ll combine this technique with a Comb Filtering-style Delay too. Let’s go and find a new, creative way to add pitch and unpredictability to beat loops.
