Logic Pro playing back pitched samples

you have only one sound in the group

I think Before you drag and drop right click on group and select sounds to midi channel, instead of sounds to midi note

you can’t mix the two , eg , drums (fixed pitch ) and chromatic pitch notes ,

So for drums , you could use both , sounds to midi notes and sounds to midi channels , depending on how you want to use them , generally you’d use sounds to midi notes and keep your drums on 1 track , but you might want to work other ways , eg if you wanted pitched drums , or before you had things like , separate midi notes to tracks in logic , you may have wanted to separate your drums by midi channel.

For pitched notes of one sound , you need to use sound to midi channel , that puts one sound on a midi channel allowing it to be played at any pitch.

Sounds to midi notes , puts each of the 16 sounds on a separate note on 1 midi channel , so it’s impossible to pitch those notes , unless you automate the pitch control in the sampler .

if you’re using a group that has a combination of drums and pitched instruments , you have to use sounds to midi channels to separate each sound , they then have their own track in logic , and can be pitched , not ideal for general drums

So it’s probably best to use separate groups for drums and pitched instruments, and personally I’d use separate instances for each group

personally I think they should overhaul the plugin , they should streamline it , kinda like kk , and make it one group , with ideas view + patterns, and get rid of the arrangement window .

You save your group in maschine , load it in the plugin , either create new patterns or drag existing patterns to logic , if you need to recreate a project, you open standalone and drag patterns from your project

Then rinse and repeat for each group

Make the maschine controller , so it recognises each instance, like kk recognises each instance it’s using

You can kinda do that atm , but I think it bloats out the daw with multiple instances as is , and it doesn’t recognise which one is which

did you select sounds to midi channels ( right click on group )
