Pattern creation examples
The following examples provide steps to follow as well as general guidelines for working
with different types of patterns.
Drum pattern example
For drum and percussion (rhythm-based) patterns, edit modes such as Velocity and Note
Repeat can be effective for creating interesting-sounding patterns. You can also create
interesting variations by copying the pattern and changing the pattern length of the copy.
1. In Logic Pro, choose an Electronic Drum Kit patch that uses Drum Machine Designer
from the Library.
2. Create an empty pattern region in the Tracks area, or an empty pattern cell in the Live
Loops grid.
3. Turn on some steps in the pattern to create a basic beat. It’s often good to begin with
a simple kick pattern to set the foundation, followed by a few snare hits and a hi-hat
pattern.
4. Click the Preview button in the Step Sequencer menu bar to hear the pattern as you
work.
5. Choose Velocity / Value from the Edit Mode selector and adjust the velocity of steps.
6. Choose Note Repeat from the Edit Mode selector and add note repetition to some steps.
This can work especially well with closed hi-hats or other sounds with a quick decay.
7. Click the Preview button again to stop the pattern playing.
8. Choose a different pattern length from the Pattern Length pop-up menu.
9. With either the Tracks area or the Live Loops grid in focus, press Command-R (or
choose Edit > Repeat > Once) to create a copy of the region (or cell) to the right of the
original one.
10. With the new region or cell selected, choose the 1/8 step rate from the Pattern Step
Rate pop-up menu above the row headers, and listen to the difference in how the
pattern sounds at the new step rate.
