Changing samples from a drum kit

Hi,

 

I am relatively new to Logic Pro X and I love the new drummer feature..

Is there a way to change the samples that are used in a drum kit without having to load my entire sample set into an EXS24 sampler..

What I want to do is load up an existing producer drumkit and modify only the kick sample there and save it as my Custom Preset

 

Thanks for the help

You can customize it using Logic's factory samples: for more choices, use the equivalent producer kit in the Library (so instead of trying to customize say, SoCal, try to customize SoCal+ in the Producer Kits folder). Click "Drum Kit" at the top of the channel strip and in Drum Kit Designer, click the Kick and choose your favorite kick from the column on the left.

Thanks for the quick reply.. I followed your suggestion, but it gives me a limited set of options from within logic's own set of kick samples. I have a sample in 24bit wav format that I would like to use instead. Is this possible?

Thanks David that sounds like exactly what I need.. I will go try it when I'm home

Thanks David, this worked for me and solved my problem

Great! Good to hear.

This is a very helpful tip for me as well, still... when I load up my customized (different snare & kick) Motown Revisited preset in DKD and then 'convert' it to a EXS24 instance, what I get is a default Motown Revisited preset. Furthermore I don't see a means of selecting the different snares & kicks in the edit window of EXS24... I'd love some info on this.

Try playing all the different samples in the EXS24, playing different MIDI pitches, to see if you can find the samples you want to re-customize the kit?

 

What is your goal?

I've done that... there's only 1 snare and 1 kick in the preset I get.

My goal is to take the Motown Revisited kit I customized in DKD itself (different snare & kick) and customize it even further in EXS24 by adding a second, lower snare and perhaps more.

BTW, I've also tried to first save my DKD preset before switching to EXS24: same behaviour, it resets to the default Motown Revisited kit.

I've done that... there's only 1 snare and 1 kick in the preset I get.

Motown Revisited Kit has 9 snares triggered by Bb-2, D-1, Ab0, Bb0, Db1, D1, E1, Bb4 and D5.

I've tried those notes just now... they are all variants of the same snare, which seems to be AnKit7:Sn1. The other two snares that can be selected in the DKD interface (which are most likely AnKit7:Sn2 and -3) are nowhere to be found in the EXS24 edit window...
