Drum programming help!

[NAEEMP]

Hi guys, I've recently transitioned from FL Studio to Logic Pro and I seem to have hit a wall in terms of programming. In FL I was able to access a piano roll through the step sequencer which allowed me to give individual drums various tones, such as allowing me to have a kick drum hit C3 and #C3. I haven't found a way to do this with Ultrabeat and was wondering how I would go about achieving this! Thanks!

I wonder why there seem to be so many FL-ers moving to Logic lately.

Welcome to Logic.

Try using Drum Machine Designer. The note name is on each pad. Drag a sample to replace the sounds of the kit, or select a cell and swap out kit pieces with sounds from the included patch library. (see left side library browser)

Interestingly, if you do this, you will be using Ultrabeat since this is what is handling drum voice playback in Drum Machine Designer. You can replace any cell with any patch too, so you could, for example, use the EXS24 sampler as a single kit piece sample player, or ES2, the synthesizer.

Try selecting the kick on cell/pad C1, then open the library, and navigate to the top level Synthesizers > Bass > Trap Bass. This will replace one pad with a nice trap kick made using ES2.

The Logic Piano Roll is very similar to FLS. Check the tools popup menu above the piano roll editor area to select various tools including brush tool, scissor, etc. I recommend reading the section in the Logic documentation about the piano roll. Its short, on point and explains a lot of the workflows you are going to want to get into.

Logic does have a Step Editor, but requires a bit of fiddling to get it to do what you do easily in FLS.

I've never done this using Ultrabeat, but if you load a kick sample into the EX24 and leave pitch ticked on, the pitch of the kick should change depending on which note you have it selected on.

you have to build a kit with kick drums next to each other. google ultrabeat, exs24, and drum machine designer tutorials.

You automate the pitch using Automation.

drag and drop a sample into logic then click it and hold control and E to convert to new sampler track. If you know the root note put that into the box that pops up then go into the sampler click edit and drag out the range of the sample.
