New filter and resonance modes apply high-pass or low-pass filtering independently to each audio fragment. A new panning mode places samples freely in the stereo field. Updated randomiser functions change all parameters or selected modes at once. Probability and Intensity controls provide precise adjustment of the amount of random variation.

In version 12.3, Alchemy adds Granular Sync for Sample Alchemy. Sound grains automatically follow the project tempo to create rhythmic textures. Formant Shifting changes a sample's tonal character without changing its pitch. The updated Granular Alchemy sound pack contains loops, samples and field recordings optimised for the new engine.

Other improvements include more accurate Chord ID chord recognition and better optimisation for Intel-based Macs. Apple also recommends backing up the current Logic version and all projects before updating.
