Is there a step sequencer for drum patterns in logic express?

I was wondering is there a step sequencer for doing drum beats in logic express? It would be much easier if there were, that way I wouldn't have to record it and then try and fix my beat in the matrix editor. I believe that there is a step sequencer included with ultrabeat but I know that that is only with logic pro.

The latest issue of Sound on Sound covers how to do this with the Hyper Editor.

That link will only work if you're a subscriber, until SOS declassifies it for everyone in six months.
The GM method will work for something that's GM compatible, and you can use this method to create your own custom version for any other drum instrument you want. It's pretty sweet. The gist of it is you create a mapped instrument in the environment, cable it to your audio instrument of interest, rename the notes to whatever drum/percussion sound they match (if needed), create a MIDI region with one note each, then make a hyper set out of it.
It seems like a lot of steps, but it's pretty simple once you've done it once, and you end up with a very flexible step sequencer-like editor. You can repeat these steps to make editors that are customized for any instrument plugin you like.

  • Entering tablature for audio track in Logic Express 9

    Hi,
    When recording an audio track in Logic Express 9, I'd like to manually enter tablature for the recorded piece. After reading the manual and some tweaking, I still have a couple of questions about this:
    1. It seems one can only enter tablature for midi tracks, so I end up adding a fake midi track, muting it, then entering tablature on that midi track. Is there an easier approach?
    2. Is there a way to enter whole chords at once in the tab track instead of first having to enter each note of a chord separately, then copy/pasting that chord to all places I need it? (I know one can add chord symbols, but these are just text symbols that do not have rhythm notation.)
    3. It seems that the tablature editor in Logic Express supports only a limited number of fingerings, i.e., one cannot add a note on the 6th fret of the 6th string, as this is automatically turned into the 1st fret on the 5th string. Can this be changed?
    Any help appreciated!

    Hi,
    To answer your questions,
    1. I'm sorry, but there is no easier way. Since the "audio to score" function (where you let Logic interpret the notes in the audio and makes midi out of it) hasn't fully matured yet, I don't think there's an easier approach.
    2. In the environment you can add a chord memorizer. With this function you can Logic tell to put in a (for instance) C-chord when you hit just the C-note on your midi keyboard. Since I used this function just once and I'm not anywhere close to a Mac with Logic I can't tell exactly how this works right now.
    3. You can change the position of a note on the tablature by changing the note's MIDI channel (in the inspector).

  • Is there a Cubase-style GM Drum Map in Logic?

    Hi!
    I've been really happy about choosing Logic, but I must admit that I'm almost envious to my friend who's using Cubase. Simply for the reason that I haven't found an equally effortless way to create drum beats as the GM mode in Cubase.
    The ability to create multiple notes by simply dragging the cursor horizontally makes such a difference! Also the velocity map below the regular map makes everything easy. Logic just keeps stretching the length of an individual note. I know that in the Ultrabeat window you can do this, but I would really wanna do it i Logic's own map:)
    Anyone know if this is possible in Logic? I am already familiar with the Step Edit Keyboard and Ultrabeat's Step Edit, so I'm not talking about them.
    Cheers!

    Oh by the way, after some research i found these links that a lot of you might find very useful for creating drum tracks effectively and quickly:

  • Newbie: Drums. What options are there for drums?

    Hi there,
    I'm having fun with Logic Express. I can play most instruments I need, but not drums. I've never played drums.
    I don't have much money to spend of it.
    Searching through previous threads, I found references to the following drum loop companies:
    Drums on Demand:
    http://www.drumsondemand.com/
    BetaMonkey:
    http://www.betamonkeymusic.com/
    Drums from H*ll (Hehee, the forum edited that word!):
    http://www.drumsfromhell.com/homeofdrumloops.html
    I already purchased Apple's Jam Pack Rhythm Section. I was a somewhat disappointed in it, because it contains a little bit for everyone, and one or two loops for every style in the world, but not much of what I want.
    I guess I want more slow-tempo rock. But not necessarily "soft rock". I like things to rise and fall in volume in a dramatic way, but not stay soft like a ballad, nor head-banging fast.
    I haven't listened to Drums On Demand, but I'm a bit afraid their "soft" disk might be full of soft dreary ballads, and their "heavy" disk might be full of really fast head-banging stuff.
    Maybe I'll still go with something like Drums On Demand. But the problem with loop disks seems to be that you will buy many loops that you will never use. And maybe, hopefully, find a few that are good. Pity they're not previewable online, and downloadable online.
    What about MIDI loops? Is it possible to purchase MIDI loops and then just apply them to a standard drum kit in Logic Express?
    I figured a MIDI file would be more editable. I could use an existing beat, and then add some extra drum or cymbal smashes to make it fit my music better.
    Or should I just learn to make my own MIDI loops? I have a good sense of rhythm for other instruments. Would it be possible to apply this to drums easily, and play them on a keyboard? Having not played real drums, I am afraid I would not know how to get the feel of a real kit.
    Thanks for your info.

    Tofu Mouse, if you ever do consider the more expensive options, take a good and hard and long look at EZdrummer. My band is using it to avoid having to pay for studio time every time we want to record drum tracks (we record the rest of our instruments + my vocals in our own studio, with very good results, but we don't have the equipment to record our own drums), and even without our drummer present, we are able to lay down our drum parts quickly.
    I should mention that the drum arrangements our drummer composes and plays are extremely advanced (he is a schooled jazz, rock and metal drummer, so he is both very technical and very varied in his playing), but thanks to EZdrummer and Logic's brilliant hyper editor, we can usually replicate him even if he isn't present just by listening to low quality live recordings of him playing the actual songs. So far, the only people who have been able to hear that our drums are digital, are the ones who know that our own drumset could never yield so good sound quality as the EZdrummer samples do (The "Human Playing" button in EZdrummer is everyone's friend, ensuring that the drum beats never sound to artificial or perfect)
    And this is probably one of the most advanced ways to use of EZdrummer. If all you want to do is lay down drum parts for home-written material, the included drum loops and the hyper editor will make that extremely easy for you.
    Good luck, whatever peculiar drum tool you end up with

  • ANSI escape sequence for "Command" key?

    I know there are escape sequences for ctrl (^), alt (~), shift ($), etc that can be used from the command-line, but I'm wondering if there's an equivalent way to invoke the command key (or the apple key or whatever you wish to call it) from a terminal?
    I'd appreciate any advice, thanks!

    Hi Evan,
       This is more than a failure of terminology. The use of certain key sequences cause the terminal to produce certain characters that are just like letters except that many processes take special action when these characters are encountered. These characters are called "control characters."
       For instance, type <Control>-v to "tell the shell" to not take special action on the next character produced. Then, if you type <Control>-c, the terminal will produce an End-of-Text character, ANSII character 3, and the shell will accept it as a literal character. However, it has no symbol for that character so it displays a pair of characters, "^C", in its place. Internally though, there is no carat and no 'C'; there is only the number three, which is the ANSII code for the End-of-Text character.
       The bash shell will substitute control characters for certain escape sequences in expanding words of the form $'string'. For instance, consider the following command:
    echo $'\003' | cat -v
    ^C
    Above, the first line is a command that you can cut-and-paste into your terminal. The second line is the output you would see if you execute the command. Bash replaces the $'\003' word with the literal control character and then "cat" converts that character to the pair of characters, "^C", to show you what had been there.
       Of course there are still terminology problems; you are not using the word "emulate" correctly. However, if there was such a meaning, I think that one would say that the character sequences "emulate" the control character, not the other way around.
       On the other hand, when you modify a key with the "Command" key, Macintosh programs treat that as an attempt to invoke a function of that program. No character is produced. In fact technically, the program never even sees the keystrokes. The system intercepts the key event and converts it to an AppleEvent.
       One tool on Macs specializes in producing AppleEvents and that is AppleScript. Fortunately, Apple wrote a utility to grant the shell access to AppleScript and that is the "osascript" command. That allows you to sort of imbed AppleScript in a shell script and that would allow you to send any program any event that the system would generate in response to a command key sequence.

  • Is there a Step pattern sequencer in the Logic's Arpeggiator

    Hi,
    I use Reason 4, and the RPG-8 is amazing. It's easy and intuitive, and there is even a step pattern editor.
    I really miss this function in Logic.
    So I'm wondering if I miss something, or if there is no step pattern sequencer in the logic's appreciator ?
    I'm going to use this post to extend my question :
    In reason 4 there is also an independent Matrix pattern sequencer.
    Is there anything like that too in Logic?
    Thank you.

    Hum ok, but my initial questions is :
    Did I miss something, is there a step pattern sequencer in the Logic's Arpeggiator (like the one in Reason 4).
    Thanks for your answer anyway

  • Is there a decent or any shuffle drum pattern in Apple loops for GB

    Looking for a decent schuffle drum pattern, or any 6/8 pattern in GB loops. Not available?

    GB is notoriously short on shuffling or swinging rhythms. The Lounge Jazz loops all have a shuffle feel.
    If they don't fit your music genre, you might try a green (software instrument) loop whose general sound you like and quantize it to 1/8 swing. Sometimes that works astonishingly well.

  • Is there a way to set up browse sequences for project with multiple TOCs and conditionalized modules

    I'm using RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.
    I've got five outputs, one of which contains Help for common functions, while the other four contain Help for licensed modules. When a user opens the Help for a licensed module, the user sees the core Help and the licensed Help. In addition, files are conditionalized so that searching for unlicensed content from a licensed Help module brings up nothing.
    I've been troubleshooting problems with the Previous Topic and Next Topic which, thanks to William, I learned are related to browse sequences. After trying assorted configurations, I've got a couple of questions:
    Does RH support only a single browse sequence in a project, even when the project has multiple outputs & TOCs?
    If RH supports only a single browse sequence, does that mean there is no way to create a unique browse sequence for each separate output?
    If RH supports multiple browse sequences, what is the workflow?
    I also maintain a 'master' TOC that contains all the modules, both common and unlicensed. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the 'master TOC'. When I generate output for a licensed module, which is conditionalized, I only see the TOC for that module and, therefore, can only browse between books and subbooks in that module. I've also verified that topics that do not appear in the conditionalized module, such as for another licensed module, do not appear in the Search results list either.

    Me again, Carol
    You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
    I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
    The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
    The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
    As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
    As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
    Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

  • With PSE 12, is there a magic trick for repeating editing steps that were done on one photo to another?

    With PSE 12, is there a magic trick for repeating editing steps that were done on one photo to another?

    No magic, sorry...
    If you are able to achieve your goal by using adjustment layers, you can save the first picture in psd or tiff format to keep the layers. If you have a new file needing the same adjustments, have both pictures open and copy the adjustments layers to the new file.
    But the best solution, by far, is to edit in the ACR module. You can use it not only for raw files, but also with jpegs, psd or tiffs. Edit the first picture, then when editing the following one, choose 'previous version' from the menu icon on the right of the 'basic' tab.
