Get started with Session Players in Logic Pro for Mac

Using the Session Players, you can add a virtual Bass Player, Keyboard Player, and Drummer to your project. The Session Players feature a wide range of musical styles. Each style comes with its own patch. You can choose a Session Player preset, choose a predefined rhythmic pattern or make your own pattern, edit settings to adjust the performance, and choose other patches from the Library.

To work with the Session Players, you add a software instrument track with a Session Player as the default region type or add a Session Player region on any software instrument track. You edit the region parameters in the Session Player Editor.
