You can load Sampler instead of Q Sampler to a pad and have multi samples, layers etc. Actually you can put any plugin you want on a pad. Like Ableton Live Drum Rack. Pads are only pointer to the instrument channels.wineberry wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 1:32 pm Yeah its a real time killer and kills the workflow down. Logic's at a point now that you can write in the flow real fast and still sound design and go through samples and write and the same time and i'm loving the new DMD that just needs to be fixed so it work my better as a plugin imo, I didn't really flow with ultrabeat or exs24 for drum sample. I have brought so many drum sample plugins to use my drums and they were ok but all still missing a solid fast and reliable workflow.
Can you add more than one sample to one cell in DMD and have round robins and layers ?
Logic Pro 10.5 is out!

Cool thanks, yeah thats a work around that makes DMD pretty awesome for making unique setups. Going to have to try see if you can add multiple samples straight to a cell with sampler.

I believe you can - but it’s triggering them that I am struggling to make a work around for.
I k own it’s maybe an unreasonable expectation but - I have some multi sampler exs instruments that have for example 80 kicks mapped from C0 upwards.
If I put this multi samper onto a DMD pad and trigger this in sequencer - it’ll trigger C1 or whatever the lane is set to - but I can’t just shift up the lane note - as this will move into the next pad, not the the next kick in my multi sampler instrument
I get that this is fairly obvious and I can’t expect an easy work around - but is there a way to use these drum multi sample instruments inside DMD and change samples easily?
Thanks,
D

Does anyone know if it's possible to create Live Loops with different time signatures? I've been out of the Logic game for a while so i'm probably missing something, but have been scouring the web, manual and interface for a few days trying to see if this is possible. It's doable in Live (launching scenes is a mess, but whatevs), and is a pretty important part of my sketching process.

Haven't seen anyone do it in Logic yet.

Easy! Just set the time-sig in the control bar before recording each loop, and each loop will retain the sig. it was recorded with. And you can easily stack multiple tracks of loops to play at the same time, with their different signatures.voidhead23 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 5:32 am Does anyone know if it's possible to create Live Loops with different time signatures?

And this is all still within the realm of MIDI. Very cool

Still no fix for the completely messed up Plug-in delay compensation in Logic Pro X.
All Logic Pro X 10.5 users please do report this issue:
https://youtu.be/vhsm-jq_GhY
Just take 2 minutes and send a bug report to Apple about the missing plug-in delay compensation for automation, side chain signals and beat synced plug-ins. Thank you for your help!

what does it mean,
"• Automation is now possible for meta parameters in Audio Unit plug-ins."
could you tell me an example, what are those meta parameters?
?

10.5.1. is crap and breaks tons of stuff here which was working in 10.5.
Also performance got worse too.
So i really get slowly annoyed.
Maybe it will run all better on ARM soon
