Work with pattern slots in Logic Pro for Mac

In Logic Pro for Mac, click the Pattern Slot Edit button to access all Beat Breaker presets and file operations.

Pattern Slot Edit parameters

  • Pattern Slot Edit button: Turn on Pattern Slot Edit mode. In this mode, you can use the Pattern pop-up menu to load, save, and rename patterns in each pattern slot.

  • Pattern pop-up menu: Choose a menu item to rename, copy, paste, and save patterns.

    • Rename Pattern: Change the name of the current pattern.

    • Copy Pattern: Copy the current pattern.

    • Paste Pattern: Paste the copied pattern into the current slot.

    • Save Pattern: Save the current pattern settings. If you have edited an existing pattern and use this command, the existing filename is used, and the original pattern is overwritten.

    • Save Pattern As: Save the current pattern settings under a different name. Use this command when you want to save a copy or multiple versions of an edited pattern, rather than overwriting the original version.

    • Recall Default: Reset all values to their default state. This option is a good starting point when creating new patterns from scratch.

    • Delete Selected User Pattern: Delete the current user pattern.

    • Previous Pattern: Load the previous preset pattern.

    • Next Pattern: Load the next preset pattern.

    • Custom: This menu item is shown automatically when any pattern changes have been made. It can be considered the “current state” pattern preset.

    • Preset pattern list: Choose a pattern from the list of presets.

    • User: Contains a list of all your saved patterns.
