Members pogo97 Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 There's one in GarageBand and I like the sound but I'm wondering how it creates its sounds; the GB interface hides what's going on underneath. Google was not my friend. How does a digital stepper work? What's it most often used for? Where can I get a cold beer in Fiji? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ed A. Posted February 12, 2007 Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 I think that the Digital Stepper in GarageBand is actually a wavetable synth. Hold a note down while slowly moving the harmonics slider and it sounds like a it's stepping through a wavetable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2007 So, I'm getting the sense the the instruments in GB are very limited interfaces on some of Logic's instruments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
