Logic X And Beatstep Pro As The Ultimate Drum Machine 

Forgive me, do you know any tutorials explaining this?

​@@RepublicAllegiance Requires a bit of setting up, but: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8TO3z8LtP5U.html

i second this request haha - i'm sure there has to be a simpler way by now

I third this! Please :)

I was wondering the same thing, I'm curious how this workflow might be updated for the new Drum Machine Designer and step-sequencer in Logic Pro.

Hey @shaneking5610. Could you/would you upload a project with this environment workflow. I’ve tried this myself numerous times but there is No real manual for the midi environment in logic and it is very very difficult to get a hold on if you haven’t worked with it from the beginning. I know there’s a great deal of work going into it, I just hope somebody could share their knowledge somehow :)

No

I have tried to make this work but the video is not quite a tutorial if you're not use dto work in the environment (as I am not). Would you maybe provide some kind of template or screenshots of the steps to do this?

You're one of the only people that claim to get to this to work on their own rig. I'm noticing that what Yoad is showing on video is not quite what he's supplying in the download. The download is missing the 2nd Note PF object and the Ctl PF object at the end of the chain. Unfortunately, the Sonicstate guy cut him off just as Yoad was about to explain/show that object. I suspect it has, along with the 2nd Beatstep Input object, something to do with capturing the playback MIDI to continue allowing the changing of cc-to-note values AFTER recording? Is that how this is configured, in 2 parts? Part 1 (before transformation) takes the Beatstep hardware input, and Part 2 also takes the Logic playback as input? Can you share any issues, or what you discovered when you tried to adapt this to your rig?

Could you make a video demonstrating how to set it up? Thanks.

@@thomaslinder6299 It is frustrating. I wonder why Yoad or Sonicstate released this half done? Did you manage to find a solution?

Rebel! 😂

Great idea, I’m in

Count me in

I think this is an issue that would have to be addressed with the receiving device, no? If the device doesn't have the ability to change note value in response to MIDI signal, there's nothing a sequencer can do about it. The beatstep is already sending the MIDI value corresponding to the knobs' positions, its a matter of the receiving device to respond to those values.

Join the Arturia forum page and request it after posting this video. It'd be nice to be able to do this with my RX7 or RX5 instead of going into the computer to do it with software center.

Can you upload the project somewhere please? the link is dead.

This takes 10 minutes in Live and you can save the racks with the samples and drag and drop them into a session. Much more elegant.

Jim Walker how is that done mate? Thanks 🤘🏻

If I recall, its in the environment editor and I think you can hide/show those connections, Or if you dont have anything setu then the objects wouldnt be there

Dominic probably means the non-default Logic skin Yoad seems to be using. I wondered about it as well. The "windows for controlling midi" are the Transformer windows from the Environment -- create new transformer, and then double click it.

Thank you both very much!

Kabbalistic Village Music Logic 9 I would guess.

Kabbalistic Village Music Or maybe it’s just a different skin on Logic 10.

for live beat making sure, but there is so much else wrong with live and it's weak in other areas. Every DAW has it's weaknesses, all of them.

no they are not.. have you tried making one of these samplers in Ableton? its really fiddly!

www.dropbox.com/s/fsckdvfxq9hv110/MEGADRUMZ2.alp?dl=0 if anyone wants one for ableton.

Each DAW has its plus and minus, but for logic users this is interesting as learning a new DAW is time consuming

There was definitely no Ableton Drum Racks in 1983.

@@Heathcliff_henselHiya! ableton as awesome as it is, is still limited in certain ways.. Loop lenghts??..I've just got hands on mpc software, seems nice mixture of linear and looping daw. But most of us who started a while back ended up going from cubase to logic, rightly or wrongly 😆

@@outdoorsandlife4131 its not, its just for us that are too stubborn to learn ableton😉

"Ableton can do"... Shush, the adults are talking!

lol

Do we know why he is doing this? Maschine is not quite as fast as his system. Maybe he thinks Maschine integration with Logic is too cumbersome, etc. No need to call people strong names if you don't really know them and their motives.

No, the Maschine does not do this. The Maschine runs a sequencer inside your sequencer. So your programming it twice. Creating the beat in Maschine, then programming the beat changes as MIDI notes in Logic. Not the same thing.

No because he is using logic not maschine inside of logic.

I have Maschine loaded into Logic and I do this on every project. I mean, it's nice how he has it organized, but that's a lot of behinds the scenes work for something Maschine does pretty naturally.

Chris Garner maybe complex, but extremely powerful. I wouldn’t trade that for anything!

I know. It's perfect for drum replacement.
