Convert Drummer regions to MIDI regions in Logic Pro for iPad

In the Drummer Editor in Logic Pro for iPad, you edit the performance settings of Drummer regions but not specific notes. To edit specific notes, you need to use the Piano Roll Editor. To do this, you first convert your Drummer regions to MIDI regions. Once you have converted them, they no longer interact with Drum Kit Designer and Drum Machine Designer as Drummer regions.

After converting a Drummer region to a MIDI region, you can convert it back to a Drummer region at a later point. However, any MIDI edits you have made to the region will be lost.

Note: Drummer regions can be edited in the Tracks area in much the same way as MIDI regions.

Convert a Drummer region to a regular MIDI region

In the Logic Pro Tracks area, tap a Drummer region to select it, then tap it again.
Tap Convert, then tap Convert to MIDI Region.

The resulting MIDI region behaves the same way as any other MIDI region, and you can edit it in the Piano Roll Editor. For more information about editing MIDI regions, see Overview of the Piano Roll Editor.

Convert a regular MIDI region back into a Drummer region

In the Logic Pro Tracks area, tap a Drummer region to select it, then tap it again.
Tap Convert, then tap Convert to Drummer Region.

The resulting Drummer region does not contain any MIDI edits you may have made.
