Create a custom Session Player pattern in Logic Pro for iPad

You can create custom patterns for the Keyboard Player, Bass Player, and Drummer to follow. You create a pattern by turning steps in a row on and off in Manual view in the Session Player Editor. When editing the Keyboard Player and Bass Player, a single row is available. When editing a Drummer, multiple rows are available for different kit pieces.

Each step in a row represents a sixteenth note, meaning a row of sixteen steps equals one musical bar. You can increase the length of a custom pattern and define the length in bars or steps.

Create a custom pattern

  1. In the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, tap the Manual button to switch to Manual view.

  2. Tap a step to activate the pattern.

  3. Tap steps to turn them on and off.

Creating a custom pattern turns on the pattern. You can turn it off by choosing a predefined pattern again in the Patterns dialog.

Mute or unmute a kit piece for the Drummer

  • In Manual view in the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, tap the kit piece icon at the beginning of a row so that it’s selected (unmuted) or dimmed (muted).

Change the length of a custom pattern

  • In Manual view in the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, choose a bar or step value from the Length pop-up menu.

When the pattern length is more than 16 steps, it is divided into sections, with each section showing a part of the pattern. An overview of each section appears above the first row. You can tap the section overview to switch between the different parts.

Copy and paste a custom pattern

  1. In Manual view in the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, tap the More button , then choose Copy

  2. Select the destination Session Player region, then, in the Session Player Editor for that region, tap the More button again, then choose Paste.

Clear a custom pattern

  • In Manual view in the Logic Pro Session Player Editor, tap the More button  , then choose Reset.
