Groove3 Logic Pro: Advanced Techniques

Ready to level up your MIDI game in Logic Pro? You're in the right place! In this Logic Pro video course, MIDI guru Larry Holcombe will show you plenty of helpful techniques and skills that can transform your workflow and greatly improve the sounds you're getting out of your virtual instruments. You'll learn handy tips like using the Chord Trigger and Transposer to quickly sketch out a chord progression and methods for increasing the realism in drum parts by adding ghost notes, to name but a few. By the time you're through with this MIDI course, you'll feel much more familiar with the MIDI elements in Logic Pro and will be able to take advantage of many time-saving and quality-improving tools on every new song. These Logic Pro MIDI videos are designed for Logic Pro users with a basic Logic Pro and MIDI familiarity.

To begin, Larry welcomes you and briefly discusses what will be covered in this series, so you'll know where we're headed. The first stop on this tour of MIDI functionality in Logic Pro is the Note Repeater MIDI FX plugin, which Larry uses to create hands-on glitchy drum fills. Then he shows you how to use the Time Handles to time-stretch MIDI data for quick editing in the piano roll.

Next, you'll see how to assign your own chosen percussion samples to the Drum Kit Designer plugin and control them with a hardware MIDI pad controller for realistic-sounding live drum programming. Larry then demonstrates how to create sequenced melodic phrases paired with automation using pattern regions, resulting in interesting and evolving arpeggios or melodic riffs.

There's lots more to come as well, such as MIDI Transform (collection of handy editing features), step input (for entering notes one at a time instead of performing them with a MIDI controller), advanced arpeggiation (using the Arpeggiator effect to create melodies and chords), Chord Trigger (for quickly building chords from one note only), Transposer (for transposing chord/note data to another key and/or locking it to a specific scale), adding realism to drum parts (using ghost notes and adjusting the grid timing), MIDI articulations (tips for achieving more realism for other instruments like bass, strings, brass, etc.), and more!

If you've made do only knowing the MIDI basics, you're missing out on plenty of time-saving tools and methods for lending authenticity and realism to your virtual instrument tracks. This course is the quickest and easiest way to get a grip on some more advanced MIDI tools in Logic Pro, which will translate into more productivity, creativity, and better results.
