Select one before you go to Matrix. To select it, click on it once (its color will change) IF you need to create an empty one, simply click with the PENCIL tool next to the track you want to use (drums, synth, etc....). In either a blank MIDI region or a MIDI region with data inside, if you double click it a Matrix editor will usually open. If not, go to your top file menus. choose: Logic Pro / Preferences / Global / Editing then select it using the [ Double-clicking a MIDI Region opens..... ] Good luck... Steven p.s. do take a look at the Hyper Editor for creating drum parts. The ability to use the height of an entry to directly control velocity is very nice.
