Grid Pad Controls
Logic Pro Drum Machine Designer Pad controls bar
The grid shows 16 pads on each of three available pages. A sound can be mapped to each
pad. Use the Switcher controls in the pad controls bar below the grid to navigate between
pages of pads.
Pads correspond to user-definable MIDI Input Note Numbers, typically starting from C1 at
the lower left, and running to the upper right. When a pad play icon is clicked or it receives
the corresponding Input Note Number, it sends a user-definable MIDI Output Note Number
to the instrument plug-in in the channel strip of its subtrack.
Click either the Pad Controls button or directly on a pad to view and edit kit piece
parameters in the Smart Controls pane. The Pad Controls button is lit when working with
kit piece parameters in the Smart Controls pane. Use the kit controls barabove the pads to
view and edit kit parameters in the Smart Controls pane, when visible.
Note: These buttons are visible only if the Smart Controls pane is shown. If the Smart
Controls pane is not visible, click the disclosure triangle at the lower left of the grid.
Pad controls bar parameters
If the subtrack of a Drum Machine Designer pad uses a Quick Sampler or Drum Synth
plug-in, you will see additional Q-Sampler Main, Q-Sampler Details, or Drum Synth view
buttons alongside the Pad Controls button below the grid. Use these buttons to access the
respective instrument plug-in interface and parameters directly at the bottom of the Drum
Machine Designer window.
