Automate MIDI note parameters separately in a same track/piano roll?

[Pampy]

 

Is there any way to automate MIDI note parameters separately in a same track/piano roll?

For example with high hats, i would like to pan some individual notes to right and the rest are left in a same track/piano roll.

I tried assigning each note to a midi channel and automate the pan channel separately in the same piano roll but both of them pans the same.

And also, Panning modulation FX is not the answer.

 Thank you for your response

When you automate the pan, you are automating that channel. All notes are coming out of that channel, so all notes will be affected.

You can either pan differently - eg, using MIDI Pan commands and change them per note, or you can split the notes across multiple instrument channels.

Depending on what instrument you are using, you may be able to pan individual drum sounds, or use two different sample slots and duplicate the hihat sound between them, and pan them differently.

There are lots of ways to achieve this, depending on what you are doing - but automating the channel pan is not the right approach.

Thank you for clarifications. Is there a way to it via Quick Sampler?

[des99]

Not in one instance, because Quick Sampler is really a simple sampler for one sound at a time - you'd need to do it in Sampler, Ultrabeat, Drum Machine Designer or other such instruments.

You could use two different Quick Samplers on two channels, or within a Drum Machine Designer, each with a copy of the hat sound and panned accordingly.

You could do the following: Create a summing stack with two identical channel strips, one panned left and one panned right. Set the first one to receive on MIDI Channel 1, and the second one on MIDI Channel 2 (you will need to use at least Logic 10.7 for this). Now create a MIDI Region on the summing track of the stack. In this region you can now control the panning by the note's MIDI channel. Example attached. As I wrote, 10.7 or later only.

Thank you! This is the answer ive initially was looking for, in conclusion, it is not the fastest workflow but definitely a method to use in some cases in the future!

i found @des99 method to be the most efficient one in this type of situation. Thanks both of you, case closed
