Recognizing this years ago, a company called Redmatica came out with a terrific logic pro x exs24 presets free to do precisely that, named AutoSampler. As you see, by default it opens a Classic Electric Piano with sends to two auxes with reverbs.

One of my older Kontakt libraries is the Sonic Implants Symphonic Collection, which is no longer available from Sonivox. I particularly like an English Horn legato patch. I instantiate Kontakt in the instrument slot and load it up. Now I have some choices to make. The range of this instrument is C2-E5, so of course it makes sense to set the range to that. I am not sure how many velocity layers the instrument has, but typically in logic pro x exs24 presets free era it would be 2 to 4, so I set it to 4.

The more semitones I choose, the more RAM the instrument will take and again, in that era of less powerful computers, they probably did not sample logic pro x exs24 presets free single note. So I logic pro x exs24 presets free it to 3, with 0 round robins for legato and I will roll the dice with those, knowing I can always redo it if I am not happy with the result.

I click Sample, give it a name and let it save to its default location, and AutoSampler begins. You will see it and hear it in action. The larger the instrument, the longer it will take, depending on your settings choices. For this instrument with the settings I chose, it will take app. Time to make a phone call, check my email, make coffee, etc. When I play it, it sounds great, a bit softer but nearly identical. The only issues for me are that the sustain is too long and when I raise the vibrato with the mod wheel, I get too much vibrato.

No problem. I open up both in Logic Pro X and play a region in. You tell me which one is which when you listen to the two, one after the other. Wow, that went really well! I think I will do a staccato articulation next. Same settings but fewer velocity layers logic pro x exs24 presets free a short articulation should be fine.

I think I would like to make a key switched instrument with these two articulations. I navigate to where the staccato samples were saved and drag them into Ungrouped this window.

I assign it to Auto map and now they are in the instrument. I then go under the Group menu, choose New Group. Then in the Ungrouped, I press Command-A to select all the staccato samples and drag them into the newly created group. I then rename the group Staccato logic pro x exs24 presets free rename the first group legato, logic pro x exs24 presets free that we now see that reflected. Next in the editor I switch from Zones view to Groups and I see that the ranges are not correct, as they show a low of C-2 and a high of G8.

I adjust them to C2-E5. Now we need to assign them to keyswitch notes. For reasons I cannot understand, under Type I see Group for legato and nothing for staccato, but by holding the mouse down on each, I change them to Note and they default to C I change the legato not to C0 and the staccato to C 0.

Now when I hit the keyswitch notes and play, I hear the correct articulations. The only problem is that the staccatos are too loud relative to the legatos. I drag the volume for the staccatos to And now I am happy. All that remains is logic pro x exs24 presets free me to click the Red button in the upper left hand corner to exit the editor and when I do, Logic asks me if I want to save the instrument, which I do.

Using this method I can add more articulations, like trills, for example, and then create an Articulation Set for the instrument, and save it to my library.
