It might not be the newest piece of kit on the block but the EXS24 sampler is tried, tested and true. Logic Pro's go-to factory sampler since the days of the software's creator, Emagic, EXS24 is simple, straight-forward to use and yet feature-laden enough to remain useful to producers today. In this article, I want to show you how you can experiment quickly using loops and a handful of EXS24's functions within a session in Logic Pro X , applying modulations to your source sounds in often highly musical ways.

Of course, I could simply drag and drop this loop onto a blank audio channel in my Logic session, but importing it into EXS24 allows me a handful of important sound design options that we'll look at in turn. Here's how the loop sounds:. Next, I want to change the root pitch of the sample, so I can trigger it from C3 using my MIDI keyboard or the piano roll - this is achieved simply by double clicking the box under the 'Key' column in EXS24's edit window and typing in C3.

This lets me trigger my guitar loop, in full, by recording in or drawing a note at C3 that lasts for 4 bars at 80 Bpm. Now the fun begins! If we head back to EXS24's main interface, we can see that we have a small selection of tools and modulation sources at our fingertips to play with.

To begin, let's give the guitar loop a warbly effect by modulating its pitch with an LFO - I can do this using the 2nd slot in EXS24's modulation matrix, choosing 'LFO 1' as source and 'Pitch' as destination.

I like this effect but the repetitiveness of the modulation makes it sound a bit mechanical - I can rectify this by modulating the LFO rate itself with another LFO! Setting LFO 2 to 0. It's time to introduce a different modulation source - we could turn to EXS24's envelope options but I feel they're quite a well-used modulation source and I want to introduce something a bit more musical into the mix.

So, let's take advantage of EXS24's sidechain abilities and introduce some more audio into the equation! The hi hat loop contains very well-defined and rhythmic sounds, which is pretty ideal for use as a modulation source.

I can use this loop as a sidechain signal by selecting the appropriate track number from the drop-down list in the top right corner of EXS24's main interface - in this case it's 'audio 2' I want to use. I also made the pan modulation more complex by modulating it with LFO 2 via the sidechain signal, meaning the amplitude of the hi hat loop will scale the LFO's value in modifying the position of the guitar loop in stereo space.

With EXS24, you really can do a lot with just a little! So there we have it, with just a classic piece of software, a little bit of routing around and some loops to hand, we can create musical modulations and effects without breaking a sweat.
