logic drum racks

[jrbeats5]

Hey I was wondering is there anything in logic similar to Abletons drum racks, where you can audition different drum samples on the fly like in Abletons Drum Racks

Put simply, no. But there is a rather complicated workaround. Go on YouTube and do a search for 'Last Drum Rack You Will Ever Need in Logic X'. The guy in the video demonstrates how you can achieve a similar effect.

hahah i saw that video thanks bro but that only works if you have 128 total sounds but I wanted to do like in ableton and have 700... i.e 128 kicks 128 snares 128 hats etc

Yeah.... there is a 128 limit. So what I've done is separate my samples according to company, and then if I go over 128 I just make another EXS sampler instrument. For example, my Black Octopus 'Leviathan' sample pack comes with 267 kick samples, so I have Kicks I, Kicks II and Kicks III. It's a good enough workaround, but I would love to see future updates of Logic that address the need to audition samples quickly like in Ableton or even FL Studio.
