I've submitted numerous requests and bug fixes, and at this point to be honest the only thing that would surprise me is if they implemented one of 'em ;) Edit: Still dreaming of an Ableton-like "Lock to Scale" feature.

For me they're linked. The quicker I can find and do things the longer I tend to stay in a good flow state, so I think utility plugins are just as helpful in making music as features.

We're safe for another 10 years! ;)

I REALLY wasn't expecting that! I read the title and was thinking "Uh-oh, here comes the subscription". Now its time to read on and see if they have some of the long-overdue features I've been pining for.

Very glad it helped. Yes, the struggle with this one was real - haha.

I was going to say yes, but after playing around with DMD a bit more I don't think it's worth it! I was previewing sounds and it kept replacing either my entire kit or the pads. So I then made sure to select a specific pad, previewed another sound and it filled that pad then moved on to the next, overwriting it. It seems to easy to lose sounds it's crazy.

Yes, I seem to get the same results as you. Interesting that the filter isn't always activated.

Apologies. I was instantiating a new instance of DMD either using the New Instrument dropdown (DMD is finally listed there now, in Logic 10.8 - in previous versions I don't believe it was), or by dragging a sample from an external folder and hovering over the area below existing tracks, then chosing it from the pop-up. In both cases I was then dragging samples onto the DMD slots which automatically creates a track, inside of the DMD stack, with QuickSampler on it, but this instance always has a filter engaged and a -8dB volume dip.

My solution so far is to create an empty DMD & drag Q-Sampler instances into the slots manually, then save it. Not ideal, so I won't mark this resolved yet in case there's a better way.

Hello all. I thought I'd get around to using Drum Machine Designer, rather than continue doing things the old school way, but it does some ghastly things to samples out of the box (I figure the programmer responsible for 'Record MIDI to Tack Here' must have had a hand in it!). Anyway, it loads instances of Q-Sampler, so I tried loading up Q-Sampler, modifying the defaults and saving them as the new default, and then creating a new instance of DMD and hoping it applied it to those instances too, but noooo. DMD just says 'f*%@ you, I'm going to continue filtering every sample you load in and adjusting its volume, because I know what you want better than you do'. Is there a workaround? Or do you guys not bother with it.

It's just a terrible name choice isn't it. Let's hope whoever came up with that particular gem doesn't have kids ... - "Hi, this is my son, Egg-Fertilised-By-Sperm Smith".

Agreed - much better solutions. For what it's worth I 'reported' the auto-volume-changing as a feature request (but unfortunately I didn't think of this as a viable alternative. I simply said 'hands off my sliders!' ;) )

Not sure how much use this'll be, but I'm not experiencing it on 10.7.9 (I say 'may not be much help' because although it was an issue I encountered, I've also done a clean build onto a new computer, and so I've changed multiple variables). If anyone wants to try upgrading to 10.7.9, goto your existing Logic app (in Applications) first, right-click it and compress it, so that you can revert to it if you run into bigger issues with the latest version.

Just encountered this. Ha. What a ghastly 'feature'!

What a delightfully unhelpful feature! Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction! I'm guessing there's no 'Resolved' button in this forum, but thank you for resolving the post.
