Type the kit piece patch name, then press the Save button.
In Logic Pro, you can reorder kit pieces in the following ways:
Drag a pad to an empty location in the grid.
Drag a pad between two pads in the grid. A vertical blue line is shown to indicate the target location. The pad is placed between the target pads. Adjacent (and other) pads move to accommodate the dropped pad.
Drag a pad between pages in the grid. An arrow is briefly shown at the left or right edge of the grid, which then moves to the target page. Drop the pad at the location you want to use on the page.
Drag a pad onto another pad in the grid to swap their positions.
Note: Dragging behavior is affected by the option you chose in the “Reorder Pads” submenu in the kit controls bar Action pop-up menu.
Change Sounds: Changing the pad layout moves the sounds of the pads, but pad input and output note settings are not changed: The sounds will appear in a different order when played via a MIDI keyboard or by a recorded region.
Visual Only: Changing the pad layout moves the pads and sounds together, so reordering will only have a visual effect: The pads will appear in a different order, but assigned sounds are still played by the same MIDI notes.
In Logic Pro, click a pad icon or pad background to select it.
