mgoslett1 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So, I can't find any other posts on this specific issue and am not aware of anyone else suffering from the effects. If you have I would appreciate your help. What it is, is I've created a pretty standard drummer region which closely resembles what I'm after. I've then converted it to midi to have a little play around and get it sounding right. Here's where the problems start. If I convert that region back to a drummer region, I lose all my hard work, and equally annoying is that for some reason I am unable to change the drum kit or drummer on that specific region. I am vexed and fed up! Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 LPX has always behaved the way you describe. I believe the function is misnamed: it should be "go back to original Drummer region" or somethinng like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's immensely frustrating spending copious amounts of time editing in midi, only to find that you can't actually convert your midi region back into drummer region where you can change the drum sound etc. Also, surely the point of midi is to be able to trigger the sounds you want? I can't find a way to change drum sounds in midi though. Any thoughts/comments? Otherwise are you aware of any good LXP tutorials? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoslett1 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 ....aaand I've justy discovered that after reopening my session, the midi region in question has decided to convert itself back to it's original drummer region, which cannot be undone! This is pathetic! How can I get my work back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I recommend you use an instance of Drum Kit Designer to store your edited MIDI regions on instead of directly on the Drummer track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, thanks for your response. Not quite sure what you mean though. Could you elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Create a new software instrument track. Copy the channel strip setting that the Drum track is using and paste the setting on the new track. Or simply navigate to the appropriate Drum Kit patch in your Library.
