Bear-Faced CowYou can open the Drums (and others) tab in a different window simultaneously. Impact to workflow is minimal.

Bear-Faced CowIn short, download the Controller Editor and map the pads to SD3 that is comfortable to your playing style. The beauty about the Mikro is that you can have 16 different pad groupings which will enable to map different kit pieces as needed. For example, I have one pad group that I use to play hi-hats with the kit while another pad group uses the ride cymbal in the exact same pads that I use for the hi-hat in the other group. You do not need to change your playing style to change kit pieces.
I have posted  part of my Mikro configuration in this thread that you can have a look at. Open it up in the Controller Editor. I found my style after watching videos of others do it and took bits and pieces of what I liked best of them. Enjoy.
If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Thanked by: ChadwickDunderc0ckBear-Faced CowAs always, they added some new amps and effects along with the cool features. I’m going to try them out. I was quite happy when they included the Zen Drive and Tone King emulations.

Bear-Faced CowIMHO, the latest versions of Helix and Helix Native are well worth updating. There are a lot of great features in there now. One of my favourite new features on the Helix itself is the ability to mix stomps and snapshots on the same patch.

Bear-Faced CowThey appear to be plain MIDI files according to their site. In that case there would not be a away to distinguish one from the other as far as tempo and time goes. You might wind up having to do those manually.
jord
Bear-Faced CowIn Logic, you can open to midi regions in a piano roll by selecting them both. They do not have to be on the same arrange track. The same goes for the score and step editor.

Thanked by: Rick ZanderBear-Faced CowThe main guitar on the track is a Helix/PowerCab combo. To me, that plays like an amp. My supplemental rhythm guitar track is Helix Native on a dry guitar track that I tapped off of the Helix while I was recording the main rhythm track. I often record a printed and a dry track at the same time, and do multiple takes. That way, I can select a different take for each track.
The majority of us in the music/audio production community are staying on Mojave until there’s a need to upgrade. By that time, it will give the major music software devs a chance to ensure everything is working right with whatever OS flavour of the year is. Until then, there’s no need to break a working setup. I’d rather focus on music than fixing my system.
jord
Bear-Faced CowI believe it did. 🙂
It sounded good.
I’ve been teaching myself piano because I love the Wurlitzer A200 emulation in Logic and I want to play it.

Bear-Faced CowThanx for listening, Chris.
I’m not sure what I could appropriately say about the guitar tone because it was one of those STFU and start playing moments. It was mainly a Fender Deluxe emulation on my Helix with a Zen Drive emulation and it was set in a way that it gave me a grungy tone that I just recorded in Logic. I didn’t even know what tempo it was in because I had everything set up in Smart Tempo mode. I just kept playing until I was done and hit the stop button and then built the entire song around that guitar (which is somewhat neat because the tempo varies and the pauses follow the guitar).
That “Homer” t-shirt is the inspiration for my pose in that picture.
I can’t readily admit that the intent of this song was blatantly Christian. If anything, I summed this one up to one of my “beautifully depressing” moments. then again, there are some characters that are rather depressing. LOL!

Bear-Faced CowNot to mention that with SD3’s ability to import samples, there are plenty of electronic samples and in various computer music mags that rolling your own kits is almost effortless and inexpensive.

Bear-Faced CowIf you lost your stuff during an LPX crash, that’s an indication that the project somehow didn’t get marked dirty thus triggering an autosave. I’d probably check that workflow and if its reproducible, report it as a bug. I’ve never had that auto-save set and have not yet had an issue with all of my drum data autosaved (and have had a few LPX crashes of my own out of “geekier” causes).
jord
Bear-Faced CowLogic Pro X has auto save. You should have been able to revert to one of your auto saved versions. I have had many times where this has saved me a lot of work.
as is with any work done on computers: save often.
jord
Bear-Faced CowUnusually cool. Nice to hear synths that are played.

Thanked by: CHRISBear-Faced CowThe presets can’t be readily copied from one library to another due to the differences in mixer routings. Even if you copy the file in your user directory from one folder to another, there’s no guarantee that it will work.
jord
Bear-Faced CowDid you check your /Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/Midi (system root and not your user location) folder to see if there are any MIDI grooves there? That’s the standard location.
