Hi Everyone.

I am having trouble finding an elegant solution to this.

I want to use a Break Drum Loop and have the Kick trigger a Sampled Kick .

One idea would be to lowpass the loop so only the kick is audible and have it trigger some kind of Gate i suppose?

Only i cant wrap my head around as to how to do this. Or is there some nice Vst out there with this specialty `


Any hint would be greatly appreciated

Right-click on the clip that contains your drum loop > Slice to Drum Rack.

This will create a MIDI track with a MIDI Clip playing your beat sliced into a Drum Rack instrument. From there you can mute/choose/replace any MIDI notes with whatever kick drum sample you choose.

Hi there and thanks for taking hte time.

Hmm the problem with slicing is that if it is a long loop you dont get all Kicks on one channel but rather end up with 3-4 and much more layers of Kicks which makes it very time costing imho.

What i want is an option of honing in a specific sound using some kind of SC filter to choose a Kick or a Snares main body and then have this signal trigger a Sampler playing a Kick sample of my choosing.

I purchased Trigger 2 by Slate but it seems to be destined to only work well with individual drum tracks and not extraction from a full drum loop.

Hope that describes better what i wish for. Are you aware of any plugin doing this?

Cheers
