• Choose Create Slice Marker from the Action or shortcut menu to insert a slice marker at
the pointer position, if required.
• Choose Delete Slice Marker from the Action or shortcut menu to delete the highlighted
slice marker. Move the pointer over a slice marker to highlight it.
• Choose the Create Drum Machine Designer Track command from the Action pop-up
menu.
You will see an analysis dialog. A new Drum Machine Designer track is created and a
new MIDI region is created on this track. The MIDI region contains note-on events that
correspond to each slice between the start and markers, and you can edit these as you
can any other MIDI region. Individual audio slices are automatically mapped to pads in
Drum Machine Designer, and you can edit, replace, process, or route these as you like.
• Choose the Copy MIDI Pattern command from the Action pop-up menu to analyze and
copy all slice markers between the start and end markers to the Clipboard.
You can paste the Clipboard contents to a MIDI or instrument track as a new MIDI
region. This feature is ideal for creating perfectly synchronized instrument parts and for
drum replacement, Foley, and other uses.
Use Flex in Logic Pro Quick Sampler
The Quick Sampler Flex parameters are used to synchronize the audio playback tempo.
This is ideal for synchronously playing a melodic Apple Loop in a key that matches the key
of other tracks, for example.
The Flex parameters are found at the lower right of the Quick Sampler waveform display in
Classic, One Shot, and Slice modes. Flex works for files with tempo information, including:
• Apple Loops
• Regions from the Tracks area
• Bounced audio files
• Files analyzed in the Smart Tempo Editor
