Intro to Drummer in Logic Pro for iPad
You can use Drummer to quickly add authentic drum performances to your project. Logic Pro for iPad includes different drummer types (Acoustic, Electronic, and Percussion) and genres. Each drummer comes with their own acoustic or electronic drum kit or percussion kit and distinct playing style. You can create multiple Drummer regions on a track, with a different drummer and playing style for each region. However, you can only have one kit (patch) on a track.
In the Drummer Editor, you can change the drummer’s playing style by choosing different presets, tweaking the generated pattern using various settings, or having Drummer regions follow the rhythm of another track in the project.
You can further influence the sound of the drums and percussion by choosing patches in the Browser, by editing the settings of individual kit pieces in Drum Kit Designer, or by exchanging and editing kit pieces in Drum Machine Designer. For details about Drum Kit Designer and Drum Machine Designer, see Drum Kit Designer overview and Drum Machine Designer overview.
When you add a new track with a Drummer region to your project, a drummer and a default patch associated with that drummer are loaded.
The Loops view in the Browser features Drummer loops that you can add to your project the same way as other loops. See Add Apple Loops to your project .
When you use electronic drummers, a track stack automatically loads with the selected drum instruments, so you always have full access to all mix options. To learn more about track stacks, see Intro to track stacks.
Note: You can convert Drummer regions to MIDI or pattern regions so that you can edit them in other editors.
Add a track with a Drummer region
In Logic Pro, tap the Add Tracks button
above the track headers.In the New Tracks dialog, do one of the following:
To create a software instrument track with a Drummer region and patch, tap the Drummer Region Type button.
To choose a drummer and patch for the track, tap the More button
in the lower-right corner of the Drummer Region Type button, tap the Drummer Genre pop-up menu, choose a drummer genre, then tap Create.A new track is created with an eight-bar Drummer region, and the Drummer Editor opens.
Note: For more information about how to set the default region type, see Create tracks.
