Middle Eastern Percussion Instruments in Logic Pro X

Hi,

Looking for any info on this subject, I'm finding posts ranging from 17 years ago to 9 months ago. What is wrong?

I was hoping people here were active.

In any case, if there are people here that are working with the Middle Eastern instruments that are part of Logic Pro X, I would like to know if it's possible to create individual instances of each instrument in this melange of a kit, so I can create after recording, decent scores for each percussion part.

Apple support has been anything but helpful; countless hours on the phone, transferred to different levels of "techs" and no actual answers/solutions to my questions. They did however take a copy of a chart I created for all the instruments in this kit, which I thought would be used to improve/solve issues. This was several years ago.

Sorry for the ranting. I'm obviously very frustrated with Apple; they've created an amazing DAW that has so many things and yet, don't seem to know their own product to help paying customers.

After all this, if you got here and do have some possible solutions, I would indeed appreciate them.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Hi


I'm not clear what your end goal might be:


A) To program MIDI for the various ME per instruments on separate tracks?


Whilst you *could* make cut-down versions of the Sampler Instrument with each 'sound' as a separate entity, there should be no need: just load up a new track for each 'sound' with the full instrument loaded, but only have 1 instrument playing on each track.


B) If you want to create percussion notation for each track, so that you can create a full score and/or individual parts, you may need to create mapped instrument objects in the MIDI Environment along with mapped staff styles
