Options for multi-velocity drum samples?

Hello, again, mavens!

 

This is probably fairly n00b-ish, but I generally focused on playing instruments and composing in the past. But now I'm trying to do a much better job of recording and producing, which leads me to my question:

 

Does Logic Pro X have a simple way to trigger various samples for, say, a snare drum, when the sample set offers several snare samples, to use with velocity info?

 

My understanding is that there are plugins I can buy, that can use samples like this, like BFD, Superior Drummer, etc. But even the entry-level products aren't cheap. And I'm sure I could just manually bring various samples into my project and use them any way I want. I'd love it if I could trigger some behavior like this with Drummer, but I've been doing a lot of reading and it doesn't seem that Drummer's the way to go.

 

So far, it seems like a plugin or a fair amount of manual edits. Any suggestions from more experienced hands? Thanks! :)

Thanks for your quick reply CCT! I read the manual and saw that the feature will indeed be useful to me.

 

But I'm still unclear as to my main goal -- getting a snare (kick, toms, et al) that plays different samples based on some kind of controller message. I see the drum designer gives me the ability to choose from many different snares, etc. But, in the documentation, that seemed to only be part of the initial steps. Once you choose a snare, that's your snare until such time as you choose a different one. It's one per kit, in other words.

 

Sorry to be slow, but I'm learning a lot today, for sure.

Hi

 

DrumKit Designer sample sets (all) have velocity switched sample sets for each element of the kit ( snare/kick etc)

 

EG: Choose a snare, and a bunch of velocity switched samples of that snare are loaded and available

Thanks again! Wow, the documentation I read was really not clear on that!

 

Thanks. :)
