Pitch MOD: Quick pitch modulation in Logic Pro
Creating smooth pitch bend effects in Logic Pro can often involve tedious work, particularly when manually assigning envelopes to each sound. Pitch Mod is a preset I created with Logic Pro’s Modulator MIDI effect. I made it to simplify this process, helping you achieve a pitch bend effect without the need for a complex setup. And you can throw it on any sound.
I initially made the preset for my personal use but decided to share it here too. While it may not offer the depth of control available in synthesisers like Serum, it delivers about 90% of the results. Good enough in a pinch.

What sounds to use Pitch MOD with?
Once set up, the preset can be applied to any instrument in your project. This makes it easy to achieve expressive pitch bends across different sounds without repetitive adjustments. I’d start with EPs, synth keys or synth pads for the best results.
If you own Serum, then check out these presets for even better results. If you need R&B chord progressions, try these.
