• Resample Pad: Choose to initiate a resampling process. This sends the input note of
the selected pad to Drum Machine Designer, which plays the assigned instrument,
inclusive of all channel strip and master track plug-ins. The resulting Drum Machine
Designer output is resampled, and loaded into a new Quick Sampler instance on a
new channel strip and subtrack, which is automatically assigned to the first available
(lowest numbered) unassigned pad.
Note: If multiple pads are assigned to the same input note, the mixed sound of all
pads is resampled. This allows you to combine the sounds of multiple pads onto one
pad.
• Update Kit Name for this Kit Piece: Choose to apply the current kit name to the
selected kit piece.
• Clear Pad: Remove the kit piece assigned to the pad. This clears the channel strip of
the pad subtrack.
Add kit pieces to unassigned pads
1. In Logic Pro, move the pointer over an unassigned pad.
2. Do one of the following:
• Click a kit piece patch in the Library to add the kit piece.
• Drag a MIDI or audio region, or an audio file from the Finder, Audio File Browser,
or Loop Browser, onto the pad. Files can be in any audio file format that Logic Pro
suoorts.
A resampling process takes place when a region is dropped onto a pad and a new
Quick Sampler instance is inserted on a new subtrack, which is automatically
assigned to the first available (lowest numbered) unassigned pad.
• Click the “+” icon that appears to create a new, empty channel strip and subtrack.
Note: In cases where you have used the Clear Pad command, the pad will have
no assigned sound, but will have a corresponding subtrack, so the “+” icon is not
displayed. Click the pad background to assign a sound to the pad and subtrack.
Add samples to unused pads on a Drum Machine Designer master or
subtrack
You can quickly add samples to unused pads by dragging content to the master track
header, or you can replace the sample for a pad by dragging content to the corresponding
subtrack header.
1. In Logic Pro, drag one or more audio files, regions, or Apple Loops to a Drum Machine
Designer master or subtrack header.
• When adding an audio file, the “Add Sample to” dialog appears in the track header.
Drag the items to the Drum Machine Designer zone.
The items are added to the first (lowest numbered) unassigned pads.
• When adding an audio or software instrument region, a resampling process is
triggered, with the region bounced offline as an audio file.
• When adding a Step Sequencer region, a resampling process is triggered, with the
region bounced offline as an audio file.
