Anyway - when auditioning possible loop points I would set up a looped region in Logic to trigger the pad. You can map a CC number (or possibly a MIDI note) to the panic button, so a looping region with the pad note + panic CC/note just before the Logic loop point is reached would work.

I don't think it's possible to adjust the loop markers in real time.

Great stuff! thanks. But how do I get it to loop constantly? otherwise I have to click the pad all the time to restart the loop for playing. really annoying (since it's often 1 beat or 2 beats loop only"

Set up a Logic MIDI region to trigger the pad for you ... then run the transport in a loop ... that was the main point of my post. I don't know another way to do this, aside from using a MIDI keyboard or drum pad (which would be my choice).

Peace,
Andy.

I know the OP has already answered his question... but for anyone else who is wondering: I find Geist and Tremor to be very different beasts and very complimentary. Tonight I released a new track with a beat made entirely from Geist. I loved the power to essentially remake any loop in my large collection, break it up into sub-outs so I can control the sound of each hit differently, and make something truly unique from several different sources. Here's the outcome:

For contrast, my last track was written completely around Tremor. It was a joy to pull in different sounds from different kits and map them against whatever pattern I wanted and then tweak the parameters to my needs. Because the kicks in synthesized drums tend to have a pitch, I even automated it to follow the chords of the songs. This track, as you can hear, has a totally different vibe because of Tremor's unique qualities:

I think these two tracks are a great illustration of the sonic differences between the two products.

lights I agree with you they are different beasts. I was at a similar point to the OP, and I chose tremor. I went with tremor myself because it just reflects the music I do better. I don't do very beat driven music, and while Geist is great, tremor works for me much better. Sampling has a place, just not in my beats.

Geist or Tremor - confusion! (done, bought geist)
