Closed Caption:

here we have a four bar loop with three
different tracks
let's erase the last three hi-hat events
and use the time stretch tool to stretch
out this event over to bars you can even
use it to shorten for Speed groups up
fantastic trying to edit your groups to
add accents for extra notes can
sometimes be tricky with the accent tool
and easy playerpro you can drop accents
with a simple click let's add a cymbal
crash to these high hats and x4 kick
drum here if you want to move the accent
to a different location just move it to
delete an accent hold down the shift key
and click on it
I've mentioned before that you can look
different tracks in different time
positions let's play track one and now
track to notice that this loop is
shorter and now track 3 see how to all
loop in time as if I were pressing the
play button just at the right moment i'm
actually getting a little help from easy
there pro sink at function by setting it
to next quarter
it allows me to play my tracks without
worrying if they are off by a 30-second
464 enough setting sink at to one of
these three will ensure that they stay
in time if we were to select immediate
you'll notice that easy playerpro won't
play your tracks in sync but will play
the track immediately as soon as you
press play this can offer you multiple
creative possibilities when assembling
your music for example by having the
snare play a bit ahead for the hi-hats
place slightly off time you can give
your drum tracks that actually looking
for now let's take a look at the layers
feature an easy playerpro layers can be
thought of as separating different drum
kit pieces by placing them on their own
space while still keeping them all
together on the same track like in this
example
but we can do so much more with layers
we can have not only kit pieces on
different layers butthole grooves
let's hear the differences between these
three
now let's put them on top of one another
and choose step through from the layer
setting submenu
it plays through each of the three
groups you can even go a step further by
changing it to random imagine the
possibilities multiple hi-hat grooves on
one track playing randomly so that every
time you play your song you get a
different hat pattern combining features
like the previously mentioned sink asked
with random can offer you endless
variations
now let's talk about automation inside
easy playerpro you'll find the middle
earn functions such as learn velocity
knob here notice that the velocity not
turns green indicating that you are
ready to assign MIDI control move a knob
on your midi controller and you're set
let's listen to that isn't it great that
you can now remotely control easy
playerpro from the midi keyboard
let's try another one it's easy how
about learn play button lets try both of
these together
now let's load up easy playerpro into a
host sequencing applications such as
logic pro simply load up easy playerpro
to the i/o section of the software
instrument track this acts as a midi
input now let's add our sound source
such as ezdrummer to another instrument
track you can use any audio units VST or
our tasks instrument in your host
application as the sound source using
easy playerpro like this can offer a few
more interesting possibilities for
starters you can drag and drop the
grooves you have created an easy
playerpro right into the timeline of
your post sequencer this allows you to
use CD player pros unique functions as
an extra palette or scratch pad to
assemble the perfect tape before you
drop into your music project along with
drag-and-drop you have the ability to
record directly onto a track of the
whole sequence or from the player simply
activating record and playing into the
browser or the arranger will write the
MIDI data onto the track with all the
changes while this happens you can try
different groove variations and even use
the velocity not remotely record dynamic
changes i hope you've enjoyed watching
this tutorial uneasy playerpro within no
time you'll be auditioning infusing
groups together on the fly with ease
by the way all the music was created in
Logic Pro using multiple instances of
claustrophobic and twisted easy axes all
your MIDI one player easy playerpro
