#Logic pro 8 drum program series
Screen 2: Logic’s Step Editor has a series of preset layouts. This will create a lane for each note in a General MIDI drum mapping (see Screen 2). Click on the Lane Set combo box, and from the drop-down, choose the GM Drum Kit option. Using the options in the Lane Set combo box, you can create many different Lane Sets which can be switched to display different data. When the focus is set to the Step Editor, the Inspector contains a new Lane Set field. Set your left-click tool to the Pointer tool and your Command-click tool to the Pencil tool. Each step in a lane represents a MIDI event, and its value is displayed by the height of the vertical sliders. The Step Editor is made up of lanes, and a single lane represents a MIDI event type: usually Note or Controller, though as we will see later, you can also display automation events. Draw in another blank region and go to the Step Editor. One of the main advantages of the Step Editor over the Piano Roll Editor is you can paint in both notes and their velocities at the same time. Now let’s look at the alternative approach: programming drums in the Step Editor. Alternatively, you can go to the View Menu, choose MIDI Draw / Note Velocity and edit the velocity in that editor. To edit the velocity of the your hi-hats you can use the Velocity tool and click on a note and drag up or down to adjust this. To erase notes, click and drag the Brush tool over them you will see that the pointer automatically turns into an eraser. To draw in 1/32nd notes, set the Time Quantize slider to 1/32nd notes and then just click and drag with the Brush tool. To input notes, simply click and drag inside the Note Grid so that the Brush tool creates a line of notes at the Time Quantize setting. Set your left-click tool to the Brush tool and your Command-click tool to the Velocity tool (see Screen 1 above). Drag out the Inspector on the left of the Piano Roll until you can comfortably read the Time Quantize and Velocity fields. Scroll down to C1 and zoom in vertically until you can comfortably read the names of the different drum elements in the Note Grid. Create a blank region and double-click on it to open the Piano Roll Editor.
#Logic pro 8 drum program software
On a Software Instrument track, go to the Media Browser and choose the preset Electronic Drum Kit / Drum Machine Designer / Trap Door. Let’s begin in the familiar Piano Roll Editor, and then switch across to the Step Editor to compare the approaches. They are many different ways to program drums in Logic Pro X. In this month’s Logic workshop, we take a look at how we can use the Step Editor to program drums and manipulate different types of automation data. Program drums and automate effects faster with Logic’s Step Editor. Screen 1: Using Logic’s Brush and Velocity tools together to program beats in the Piano Roll editor makes it easy to input notes and quickly adjust their velocities.
