Logic EXS24 : Creating Your Own Multi-Sampled Instrument Part 1

Part 1 of 2

Visit kellenholgate.com/audiotechblog for an in depth write up and access to my other tutorials.

With a little patience and time, you can create new instruments to add new sounds to your arsenal. In this video, I take some random items from my house and sample them, then we go into Logic, and we create a new drum instrument from the samples.

Nice video. Question...I have a Juno 106 that I would love to use. Can I sample the sounds with Logic, and will they sound fairly original? Should I use direct output of the Juno to an input on my Mac or should I use my MAudio interface? Thanks.

@dannythedrone YES!!

Cool and helpful stuff here man, thanks.

In this sort of editing where you want a lot of tools accessable, you can think about adding a third mouse tool. So you can have the arrow tool, the marque tool or scissors AND the crossfade as the third can be activated with a right click (or control click).

Logic/Preferences/General/Edit­ing/Right Mouse Button (select desirable function)

Is there a way to tweak every single sample in the EXS24 like you can do in UltraBeat in the "step edit mode"?

Thanks

1) to chop regions at transients quickly, select the marquee tool, click on at the far right of the region, hit the left cursor key. the marquee line will jump to the transients automatically. hit backspace to chop them.

2) if you have a right click button on your mouse, go to prefs > general > editing and change right mouse button to "is assignable to a tool". you will now have another box at the top-right of the arrange where you can select the right-click function, e.g. crossfade tool.
