In this tip, Logic expert and Pyramind instructor Dave Earl (SFLogicNinja) goes over setting up a vocoder effect and saving the setup (including the required bussing!) as a patch for easy future use.
In order to modulate Logic’s EVOC 20, you need to set up a sidechain input. Dave demonstrates the setup using his voice as an audio source to modulate the vocoder. Since the setup can be a bit complicated, he walks you through saving the setup as a patch, a feature that has been available in Logic 10.1 and 10.2. By creating a summing stack consisting of three tracks (Vocoder, Vocoder Feed, Sidechain Feed), you can save the stack as an instrument patch - effectively saving the entire setup.
The patch will retain all the bussing you configured, so you won’t have to set it up it each time you want to modulate the vocoder. This will save you a lot of time and improve your workflow, especially if you do a lot of vocoding!
