PERCUSSION: DRUM MACHINE DESIGNER

Drum Machine Designer (DMD) is Logic Pro’s all-in-one electronic drum workstation. It merges Drum Synth and Sampler engines inside a performance-friendly grid for designing and triggering layered drum kits.

Drum Machine Designer is the ideal way to create, organize and interact with kits and kit pieces. It is used for software instrument tracks but can also be played with a MIDI keyboard or pad controller on instrument channel strips. When combined with Step Sequencer, it provides an incredibly flexible and inspiring platform for groove production.
