I have Logic, V Collection 8, and Pigments. I’m familiar with Logic’s drum machine designer, and creating a custom drum kit from Logic’s own individual drum presets is easy, but I don’t know how to do this with Analog Lab’s drum presets.
As far as I know, you can’t easily import them into logic, because Arturia’s sounds arent sample based. So I would need to use Audacity and sample each drum part into wav files then import them into Logic, but that is a slow and tedious process.
But I don’t need the assembled drum kit to be in Logic. If there’s a way to do it in Analog Lab or Pigments, thats fine.
I use Ableton, but assuming its Drum Rack is similar to what Logic has, you won’t be able to load a VST like Analog Lab into the sample slots. So if you wanted to use drum preset sounds from Analog Lab you would have to sample them like you suggested. You can probably do that in Logic as well (make a track with the sound you like and export that track as a wav), rather than having to use Audacity.
Pigments and a couple of the other V Collection synths also do store raw samples that are used in the presets on your drive. You can probably drop those raw wav samples into the drum rack and work with them from there too.

You could also use The EMU V, although it doesn’t have multiple outputs.
I use it as my ‘quick and dirty’ sampler as it’s so fast and easy to use.
HTH!
Thanks for the replies!
After spending some more time with it, the selection of individual drums in the V collection is pretty small so not really worth the hassle of piecing them together. I’ll use full drum kit or drum loop presets.
