Thanks....
Wooohoooo .... no more refreshing and searching the store, it’s here, and just in time for some weekend fun
My first purchase in 2019 !
BTW - The 60 new iBassist „Reggae“ presets get installed when you press ‚Make Drums‘ in iBassist and select the Reggae Drummer app
OMG!!!!
I'll buy both reggae drummer and ibassist.
Thanks a lot mr @LuisMartinez
Anyone know if you record the midi into cubasis?
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1445050080
Yes, or indeed into anything with MIDI in, Gadget, Modstep, Auria etc....
To record direct into Cubasis you will need to
Use MIDI Clock for sync (Funk Drummer uses IAA sync so doesn't need MIDI Clock, but none of the others seem to)
Add Reggae Drummer as an IAA onto an AUDIO track, open Reggae Drummer, set MIDI OUT to Cubasis, select send notes.
Create a MIDI track in Cubasis, set it's input to be Virtual MIDI and channel 10 (default channel in Reggae Drummer)
It is easier is to use Gadget for recording using Link for sync (or any other MIDI recorder with Link), then export MIDI to Cubasis.
Right up your street this...mine too, iBassist, Reggae Drummer and Galileo.....instant Reggae band for me to play guitar along to (iBassist will play the chords on Galileo for you
)
Indeed huge thanks to @LuisMartinez for listening to the plea's and putting his know how and expertise into this.
There is a very small issue with the font color on the MIDI Device selection screen, you can only see the text when you manage to select a device
Thanks for this...I was puzzled for a bit
Ooh, I like being able to choose the different drummers. I wonder if this could be brought into his other drum apps like Rock DM?
for those that love Riddim (reggae like jazz is based on a set of modern standards and 99% of new tunes are reworks of these standards. (often in new combinations)

Great find! Many thanks for sharing
Nice !
@AndyPlankton this is like christmas for me
Just have to figure out how ibassist works. I tested reggae drummer on lunch break and it’s all I’ve ever needed. Great app!
Good innit
iBassist is pretty simple really, select or put in your bass riff, select or create a chord progression..Hit the 'Create Drums' button.....press play...
Both iBassist and Reggae Drummer use Link Start/Stop so you only gotta press play in one of them...enable it under the link options...
iBassist is capable of a lot more, but this is where you should start
@AndyPlankton thanks. I’ll be jammin all night after work today 😁
Watched the video
Sounds great
Can you create from scratch, or is it mainly all done so that it's for people that just need drum loops as backing
Sorry for stupid question
You can make your own patterns, and then still have the AI jam with those patterns doing fills etc...
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow
We can do it anyhow
I and I will see you through
'Cause every day we pay the price
We are the living sacrifice
Jammin' till the jam is through
Thanks Andy
Looks like another drum machine gonna land on my iPad for the weekend !!!
This one completes the set for me I think.....have been through quite a few in the past, but have settled on these now
Sounds really pretty good.
I have a question though about the sounds. I find Future Drummer great fun, but the sound sets are kind of limited. I haven't overlooked some feature that lets me import kits or buy soundpacks?
Which leaves me to have FD drive other drum apps? Is it possible to have a Lumbeat app play a drum rack in, say, Beatmaker 3? (Does what I'm asking even make sense?)
Yes it does make perfect sense, and afaik yes it can..need a BM3 user to confirm MIDI input side...but all the Lumbeat apps can output MIDI to drive other drums...it even has maps so you can have setups for different machines. I use them for playing drums on Cubasis Kits...on Gadget Gladstone...Groovebox DrumBox...The Ruismakers...an Alesis DM5 drum module , and a Novation Circuit...so as long as BM3 allows the MIDI input it will work fine
Sweet!! Def gonna check this one out. I'm a bit dense when it comes to midi. Can anyone explain how/whether I would be able to record midi from the drummer into Auria pro? Audio I totally understand using audiobus. Midi, I just don't get. Thanks!
This is super, super dope right here. Ben waiting for this one - toured locally with a roots reggae band for 5 years a while back. I've been wanting to scratch this itch for awhile.
That means you are missing out on Soft Drummer and Middle East Drummer, which are great too.
If anyone else has the invisible MIDI Devices text...it is one of 2 things (or both)
Settings -> General -> Accessibility.....Reduce Transparency turned ON.....this means the background for the devices screen does not display....
Also could be screen brightness...I run mine at about 30% usually.....
Transparency setting set to OFF...and screen brightness turned up to 100%....the screen now looks like this
I've no doubt that all of the Lumbeat apps are great....the ones I have suit the music I currently make.....Reggae Drummer was the main one I was missing...maybe I'll look at the others at some point in the future
They are great indeed. And they - especially MidEast Drummer - have led me to musical styles and ideas I wouldn‘t have thought of before.
