Q: how can I change the velocity of a certain drum in drummer?

Hi

I would like all the hi hat beats identical in 'drummer', I know I can make 'drummer' a midi track then change the velocity of the hats, but can I do it within drummer? 

 

any advice appreciated.

    THank you Edgar

    maybe I dont mean velocity.

    I Just need every hi hat hit the same, so it sounds like a good drummer, no accents.

    I am sure its possible!

    A good drummer uses accents constantly.  If you use the same velocity for each high hat hit, it sounds like a fake MIDI track.  You're working with an algorithm, so the settings in the Drummer edit pane is what you get.

    Hi BenB

    Thank you, I understand what you are saying, and I agree up to a point.

    However, when the guitar is playing dampened down strokes, 8 beats to the bar, a really good drummer will get the hats precise, robotic like, which locks in with the guitar.

    Most other times the accents are welcome, but not in this instance! 

    However, its not possible in 'DRUMMER', though with manipulation I can get it a bit closer to what I want.

     

    Thanks for your thoughts though, and I do agree with you, apart from in this case, where I really want each hi hat to sound identical. 

     

    I love 'Drummer' in Logic, but unfortunately I have to use Ez Drummer when composing 8 beats to the bar hats, I can change the articulation without using the midi editor.

    Hi there,

    Couldn't you just convert the drummer part into MIDI and mess with the HH part? Not ideal I know, but being MIDI surely makes it less complicated.

    Have a nice day!

    Yes kcstudio, thats what I have been doing!    I guess its not the worst thing in the world, just a shame it can't be done within Drummer.

     

    cheers
