  1. I discovered what was going wrong. I had a custom way of organizing patches that involved messing with the file structure of "Logic Pro.app > Contents > Resources > Patches > Instrument". But Drummer tracks reference "Logic Pro.app > Contents > Resources > Patches > Instrument > Drum Kit". I put that directory back (actually a symlink), and Drummer works fine now.
  2. Thanks. I did that already to no avail. I will try reinstalling Logic and see what happens.
  3. I can’t create a drummer track or even use drummer loops. The loops are greyed out in the loop browser.
  4. Every time I try to create a drummer track I get this error: "Logic Pro detected that essential content for Drummer tracks is not installed on your system. This content is required for the Drummer feature to work properly. Do you want to download this content now?" It gives me the option to download the content. I click "Download", and nothing happens. I just reinstalled the entire sound library. Sound library manager shows all content installed. Same error. Any ideas? Logic Pro version 10.7.4.
  5. Problem: I would try to add an audio region to the loops library and and loop type, scale, and key were greyed out—I couldn't change them. Solution: chop off a little bit of the region at the end so that the region ends "on grid". (Not sure why this works. I'm guessing it has something to do with the region length being "an integer", as some other posts have suggested. I just couldn't figure out what that meant in terms of what I should do practically to solve the problem. So I'm posting this here for other people with the same issue.)
  6. Same here. Would love to be able to set the new "flat" icons as default. Any idea on how to do this in the current version (10.7.4)?
  7. FYI, this bug was solved by restarting Logic.
  8. I created markers from selected regions, but there are spaces in between some of the regions, resulting in spaces between the markers. However, I want the markers to be continuous. Before, I used to be able to open the marker list on the right, delete the "Length", forcing the length to 00:00:00:00.01, which Logic interprets as infinite so that the marker has no end and just runs into the next marker. I tried doing this today. Some of the markers changed to 00:00:00:00.01, as expected, but some changed to 00:00:02:00.00, which gave me very short markers. I've even tried copy-pasting 00:00:00:00.01 in the Length parameter, but it automatically reverts to 00:00:02:00.00. Is there a fix for this, or is there some way for me to, essentially, "force legato" the marker regions? Thanks!
  9. Free Indian finger cymbal samples that I recorded and compiled into an EXS24 instrument. Enjoy! Cheers! Finger Cymbals.zip
  10. Free African shell shaker samples that I recorded and compiled into a round-robin EXS24 instrument. Enjoy! Cheers! Shell Shaker.zip
  11. As a drummer, I often play my ostinato patterns on the rims of the drums rather than, say, on the hi-hat or ride cymbal. I love Logic's Drum Kit Designer, but it doesn't have those rim clicks. I wanted to produce a whole album with sampled drums, so I recorded my own samples of the rims on my drum set. I then created an EXS24 instrument of the rim clicks (which can be used on its own) and added the rim click track to a Drum Kit Designer "Producer Kit" patch that I designed (which sounds pretty dope even without the rim clicks IMHO). By default, the rim clicks are mapped to octave 1 if you want to play them separately. But, as part of the Producer Kit patch, I transposed the rim click track up 4 octaves so that you can just select the track stack and play the drums (octaves 0-4) and the rim clicks (octave 5) together and just have one MIDI region for all of the drums. I also added a Space Designer plugin to the rim click track to emulate the room sound of the Drum Kit Designer drums. If you use Room B in Drum Kit Designer, then you can just mono the verb. Mix to taste. Enjoy! Cheers! Drum Set Rim Clicks.zip
  12. Logic comes stock with great percussion samples, but they are all combined into complete "kits" like the African, Asian, European, Indian and Middle Eastern, Latin, and Orchestral kits. I found it time consuming and frustrating to try to access the individual instruments in these kits. For example, if I wanted to play a tabla drum, I'd have to load the Indian and Middle Eastern Kit, and play around the whole keyboard to figure out where the tabla drums are. Oftentimes, discrete instruments like this are combined and interspersed with other instruments in between. I spent a bunch of time to create a separate EXS24 sampler instrument for each of the instruments included in each of the kits. I also key-mapped all the instruments, so each articulation shows up as a title in the piano roll. Now I can just pull up the instrument I want, open the piano roll, and see exactly what articulations are available without having to load a bunch of other random instruments that just clutter up my workflow. I figured I'd share this because it took a bunch effort, and I hope that it'll streamline your workflow and inspire you to create music with these instruments. You can just drop these files in your [user]/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments folder. (If you haven't already, you can create a folder called "User" in the Sampler Instruments folder, and then drop these sampler instrument files in there instead. That will display nicely in EXS24.) If your stock sample library is installed in the default location at [HD]/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments, then the instruments should just work. Otherwise, you might have to locate the samples when you load each instrument. I hope you enjoy! Cheers! Percussion Kits Individual Instruments.zip
  13. Heyo, I have a KORG nanoKONTROL Studio MIDI controller that was working fine in the previous version of Logic Pro X. I updated to 10.4.5, and now Logic crashes immediately whenever I move any of the faders on the controller. All of the transport controls, knobs, and channel buttons work just fine still. I tried the solution offered here with no success: /viewtopic.php?t=127008. I also tried reinstalling the controller driver and Logic plugin with no success. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, David
