[Feature Request] Session Percussionist: drag drop midi, copy/paste pattern between instruments

bosone

I was surprised not to see midi drag/drop feature in Session Percussionist: once I have arranged the pattern, it would be very useful to drag/drop the midi pattern in my DAW for further editing and making variation. A lot of similar libraries have this feature!

Another cool possibility would be to save/recall pattern prestets between the different instruments/slot, so that I make a patter for a cajon and can use it as a baseline for a bongo.

I totally agree. It's crazy that it doesn't have this feature. It would be so great to be able to export to MIDI, change small details, past various parts of a rhythm together and play it back. I do this all the time with Addictive Drums and it works so quickly and easily.

@Jeremy_NI is there any chance of this bein added in the future?

We're kind of comparing apples to oranges here. Session Percussion isn't really a traditional drum kit plugin, it's more of a percussion loop generator. It can output the MIDI keyswitches that trigger the loops defined in Session Percussion, but it can't generate individual MIDI generated sound of the instruments in Session Percussion because there are no General MIDI definitions for the various percussion instruments being used.

The only MIDI Session Percussion can respond to are the various MIDI keyswitches that when on, play the designed loop associated with that instrument or stop playing it if it's not on. It was designed to allow creators to create complex percussion loops (usually as audio takes or individual keyswitch MIDI recordings) and use them like any other audio or MIDI take within their project.

When I use it I tend to combine it with a more traditional drum kit plugin to fill in the extra instruments not defined by MIDI in a separate track or tracks.
