Quicksampler & Sample Alchemy
Who else loves the insane amount of powerful creativeness brought about by these two Logic instruments alone? I just made so much room on my iPad by bringing the sample library of Beatmaker 3 over to LP4I. It only takes one sample to get the same or many variate versions. This is a Strong pair of tools. Bringing an ordinary sound to Sample Alchemy is indeed alchemy!

sample
alchemy, is that on ipad version ?
Yes, sample alchemy
Sample Alchemy is one of my favorite things in Logic. Loading a preset sample and completely change it with the different synthesis modes. I think it’s a bit slept on.
Doug and Leo did demos:
Quick sampler is awesome i struggle with alchemy sampler. So far there is only ones sound I have used in beatmaker sampler I haven’t been able to remake in Logic Pro for iPad.
Could you elaborate on this? Specifically, did you manually just move the BM3 folder(s)? Also, how does it free up space? I have a huge BM3 sound library on my Ipad consisting mostly of Maschine and Akai sample libraries which have been converted into BM3 kits via Kitmaker. I really need to figure out a way to integrate them into Lp4i since I use it a lot more than BM3 these days.
Yes, I can!
I used sample crate (files works too) to move all my Beatmaker 3 drum kits to drum machine designer. This move doesn’t give you back space. Next I took several days to go thru my Beatmaker instrument packs…where I then decided between Sample alchemy for pads and texture like sounds…and Quick sampler for plucks etc. Both of these samplers only need one key to make an entire playable patch because of the granular and timestretch. So I was able to save massive space, moving these samples over and just keeping one per instrument vs 12-50! I was able to quickly and easily program these new patches to rival or even transform them completely to other instruments. Sample Alchemy can easily turn ordinary sounds extraordinary. So bringing any synth sample in at say c3 to either one of these instruments can yield very good results. For instance I turned one pad sample into about 15 different patches that sound compeletely different in Sample Alchemy.
I hope this helps you get some ideas for your workflow.
One gripe I did have was Logic’s lack of adding folders in my user patches area (or at least I couldn’t find it) so that I could easily categorize my new instruments folder into things like BASS, LEAD, GUITAR etc etc. So the browser could use some management still.
Also don’t forget you can save chains (channel strips) that would contain an instrument, midifx, as well as effects…
I find that logics tuner on the effect chain of sample alchemy will help you in tuning the samples you use if you don’t know the key.
Wow, thanks for sharing those details and tips! I've spent a lot of time getting to know Quick Sampler. I'll now get to know Sample Alchemy as well. Sounds like quite a powerful duo:)
I enjoy them quite a bit, and this workflow keeps me in Logic Pro
My current idea is to eradicate the need of hundreds of synths and effects until my new workflow emerges simplified and doing what I need it to do. Having 20 reverbs and only using two eats storage space and picking thru them eats brain space…
