Change smart-drummer MIDI to SD3

[connorhellberg]

I have the drums all programmed on several songs in Logic Pro. I used the smart drummer and then edited the MIDI by hand, and now I have SD3 and would like to put the MIDI into SD3 to utilize its superior (no pun intended) drum samples. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

you can drag the midi right into tracker, at the bottom of the window.

If you put/copy the MIDI to the Instrument Track with SD3 in Logic, it will play back but most likely triggering the wrong notes.
If you go to the MIDI In/E-drums page, you can Enable a MIDI Preset and I would guess the Apple > Logic Drum Kit Designer gets you a better result.
If it doesn’t work for every instrument, you can edit the MIDI Preset and save it as your own.

If you want to further edit the MIDI with SD3’s features, you can hit record on the SD3 Song Track and then play through the song in Logic. Then the MIDI gets recorded  to the Song Track and you can use the SD3 features on the MIDI.
