Anyone use this infernal thing for drums? I'm using this on a Mac in Pro, and it's ridiculous how bad the response is... Shift select, shift drag, option blah blah blah... Is this really a viable alternative? Maybe it's supposed to be used for controller info... Geez, even Cubase drum programmer is better than this... O.K. maybe it's not for drums?

waht are you trying to do?

You programm yer drums in the keyeditor or play them live...hyper editor is for automatation...

Uh, you mean Matrix? ...of course you can use that... But Hyper Editor is mentioned by Emagic as a viable drum editor in the manual... and it does sort of work, but just rather unreliable and unresponsive... So you bang on your kybd. to a looped quantized bar eh? No thanks, I need a more visual approach myself... I really can't believe they don't have a better drum editor in a $900. program...

I program my beats thank you very much!

But since logic sucks when it commes to drum programming imo...I use reason rewired!

Hmmm... never been able to hit 16, 1/32 notes in time myself... That's some flying fingers you got there!

what the? I just said I program my beats in a drum grid using reason and sometimes the matrix/key editor in logic...I don´t play them live (altho´ I should try sometime)

Logic's Hyper Edit infact is quite unusable for drum programming. Your description "Shift select, shift drag, option blah blah blah... " kind of hits the nail on its head - especially the "blah blah blah... " part!

The most usable (or let's say the least bad) option I found so far is to use the pencil as the first tool and the arrow as the second (command-key) tool. Then mostly use Shift for selections and Backspace to delete events.

Oh... I see what you mean! I use Redrum myself, but I'm forcing myself to use Logic in all it's uhm... "uniqueness"... Funny, but some time I seem to be able to get the Hyper editor to work fairly well, and I keep painfully setting up drum maps, ...but most of the time it seems to be possesed by an evil force

O.K. that answers my question, though... I thought it might be just me!

Logic...Hyper editor?
