chordam7 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTMusic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Sure you can do this using Drum Kit Designer, just as you would with Superior etc CCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chordam7 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 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.

CCTMusic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 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 CCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, the documentation I read was really not clear on that! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
