LOL theres a sampler in logic guys. It's called ESX24. Click on edit, it opens a piano roll and menu options for the sampler on the top. Start by clicking intsrument -> new . Then click Zone -> New Zone. Now you can add any wav or aiff sample to any key you want. for drums make shure you click the disable pitch option. name your kit then save, then load it. BTW this is just setting up your drum kit

If this is to hard for you, buy some sample cds in exs format they will be already set up.

Making a drum loop is easy from here out. Goto arrange window, right click the instr track you have the EXS24 on so it draw alitte bar. then double click. it will take ya to the matrix edit window. just a simple piano roll. now i shouldn't have to tell what to do from there. I would post pics but im to lazy

Finally there are some people that share my view. This is what I want: Ableton Live with built-in pattern window from FL

:D

That's all

I want Fruity loops with Cubase seqencer and a little changed mixer.

seriously i know this is off topic but fruity SERIOUSLY needs proper dB level monitoring and clipping monitors for each mixer channel along with each instrument ! (just like cubase)

and relating to the post, sequencing drums in FL is a dream, that is why i love it so much!

I couldn't agree more. Poor level monitoring is one of biggest flaws in Fruity compared to Logic or cubase. I haven't tried these new studio versions, has it changed at all ? Anyway Fruity is so fast to work with so I keep using it, very good for creating drums also. And like said, If you use Logic, try that EXS24. It's in my opinion the only practical way making those loops.

I used to use pattern based editing in ReBirth but you're limited to the sounds built into it, which are a bit flat.

At the moment I use Native Instuments Battery and Reason's ReDrum. Load Battery as a VST or ReWire the ReDrum in. I just create a MIDI track and you have the sounds sitting on your piano roll like any other VSTi. Both are simple to use and there's plenty of ReFills available for ReDrum. Using both programs you can do a lot of editing of your samples before they even hit your sequencer (Cubase SX for me). I love the interesting sounds you can make using Battery out of what you thought was a boring drum hit. I'd recommend both of these. For cost wise I like Reason as it has two samplers and two synths to boot.

Another great feature of Battery is you can separate it's input channels in the Cubase mixer so that say your kick, open hats and snares can all be individually EQ'd, processed etc.
