Drum Machine Designer
Logic Pro long ago added their software instrument emulation of a classic drum machine called Ultrabeat. Ultrabeat in turn became the engine of Drum Machine Designer. Drum Machine Designer has received a significant upgrade in 10.6, with a lot more kits, some of which even include guitar, piano, and bass sounds, and now it uses Logic Pro 10.6's Quick Sampler as its basis rather than Ultrabeat, which is a significant improvement in capability, so you are getting on board at the right time:
- Press Shift + Command + N to open a new project, and again create a Drummer channel strip, this time with Hip Hop as the genre.
- Everything you learned with Drum Kit Designer in terms of the Library, Drummer region, and Smart Controls applies with DMD as well.
- Let's go with Anton and change Electronic Drum Kit to Hybrid Knock.
- Press Y to close the Library and X to open the mixer.
- In the Mixer, under the View menu, uncheck Follow Track Stacks....
