Drum machine designer and third party plugins


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, newbie here!

 

I recently discovered Logic’s drum machine designer (DMD) and wanted to use it with Battery 4, which is where I get all my drum sounds from. Unfortunately I can’t seem to properly import battery sounds to the DMD pads, and thus need your help.

This is how I proceeded:

 

I opened Komplete Kontrol and tried to drag and drop pads from a Battery kit to DMD but it did not work.

Then I tried to access it straight from Battery and not KK, and this time, assigning each pad to a track with Battery in it as an instrument, with the Battery sound that I want highlighted/activated.

From there, I tried to Midi-trigger my sounds, from the track where the DMD is with but it didn’t work, I only hear my sounds when individually clicking their corresponding track and can thus not play them all together in the kit. Do you know what I might have missed?

Also, if I want my 16 DMD pads with sounds from Battery, do I really need to open battery on every 16 tracks? Because my computer might not handle it. Is their a better alternative? I’ve seen on the internet that It seems easier to drag and drop audio, wav. etc file into DMD… Could I transform my battery sounds into such formats?

 

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great day!

Thank your for your answers guys! I tried the drag and drop thing from the finder into the quick sampler but it did not work. I think the format of the file is not right to do that.

I understand while using Battery for DMD might seem redundant, but I wanted to be able to have a DMD kit with pads assigned to battery samples and other pads to other instruments like logic drum synth designer, or audio file samples, hence my question.
