Author Brian Trifon shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. The course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:
-Setting up Logic Pro for using virtual instruments
-Configuring MIDI controllers
-Composing with virtual instruments envelopes
-Tweaking the overdrive and chorus
-Creating movement with LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators)
-Understanding FM synthesis basics
-Changing the timbre and shifting the formants of the vocoder
-Constructing custom sampler kits
-Exploring the tonewheel organ, electric piano, and Ultrabeat drum synthesizer
