Drum Machine Designer

By Saucey-dough on July 26, 2020 5:33 pm

I'm starting to mess around with the drum machine designer and drum synth instruments in Logic. This is merely practice. I'd like to get better at making "beats" and not just playing drums.

Awesome man, sounds good.  Yeah I’ve been trying to use logic’s stock stuff lately too, always forget it’s there but some of those synths are pretty badass.

So is this live and you're playing the synths thru your kit?  or is it all programmed in logic?  sounds awesome either way, love this style coming from you,  big change-up

Different style now with the digital beat. This is still beat driven. smile I like the flanger-like lines in the background and the simple synth lines.

Playing drums IS making beats. wink . I know that it is not the same as programming beats, still...

You have a great base as a drummer, you will get used to it. There is nothing wrong as well to use the pads to program drums with very electronic kits, and this is very fun too. (I play very different when I do try that)

I'd also like to know this.  Big change-up stylewise indeed.  It's always fun to explore and change things up.  Seems like you had fun with this one.

Just programmed through logic. Im trying to step away from the kit for beats like this.

  Still very cool.  I'd be interested in hearing different notes froma synth programmed on the kit and a melody played thru your kit like a leyboard if you catch my drift...i image there a lot of versatility with those kits.  lovin it tho brotha
