Yup, so far I haven’t been able to import samples into the AUv3.

Edit: samples imported into the standalone show up in the AUv3, so that’s good. No direct import via Files app, AudioShare etc. unless I’m being an idiot, which I usually am.

Le sigh. 🤪

Oh cool, just realized you can use it in the fx slot too to grab samples

No 4x4 16 pad layout on this?

That is a limitation of Chameleon which one of the reasons I don't use and also lack of pitch detection for samples. Might still get this.

In 20 years we will tell incredulous youngins about these times, the way we hear about mythical objects called Mirage, 0.5 seconds of sample time and shoe boxes full of floppies.

Of course they will smile indulgently and blame it on the Alzheimer.

I learned how to do tape slices, loops and what have you. Magic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

If you load it in an AUM fx slot, will it pass thru the audio of the instrument App you are sampling, so you can hear it on headphones while you are sampling?

I haven't been able to get audio to pass thru Chameleon using it in an fx slot in AUM.
I end up outputting the instrument App to a "Bus A", and then running one "Bus A" to Chameleon, and another "Bus A" to the headphones.

Are you just trying to straight up monitor it while recording? There’s a monitor input button in the record window so I can hear the audio as it’s playing and then I just record when I’m ready. I don’t have chameleon so I’m not sure if it’s the same process

Wow. Cool. Thanks for you help with that!
Maybe there is also monitor button in chameleon, and I missed seeing it?
I'll take a look.

This app is beginning to look like I want it.

Yes, you can enable monitor and then you’ll be able to hear the audio.

Edit: while playing obviously.

No problem! Yeah it’s pretty decent especially being AU but I imagine something better will come along. I grabbed it since the price is decent and I needed something like that. You can’t seem to load samples from AU and I’ve had a couple crashes when switching presets but I’m happy with it so far. The developer is quick to squash bugs

I have recently found my Ensoniq but can’t find the shoebox full of floppies :-(

True story.

gregsmith

How are the presets? Chameleon is worth its asking price for the preset banks alone.

Here’s a 4x4 16 Pad Drum Map I made for Xequence 2. ( @ipadbeatmaking )
It’s labeled for the ‘Acoustic Close Kit’ .. some of the pads will need to be renamed to reflect the kit you choose in DigiStix.

I’m definitely broke.

Bought also this one😂😂😂

And I have Pulse on his way on 20th of September.

Then we tell them the glorious rise of the Commadore Amiga A500... At that point we would be on medication, & have a nice warm straight jacket, with a nice sound proof padded cell, with an en suite toilet & shower, over looking the beautiful scenery of Broadmoor.. 😂😂😂

My first sequencer was Mastertracks Pro on a Commodore 64. You had to load the program in modules ie: load the Record module to record MIDI from an external keyboard, unload that module and load the Edit module to edit the recorded MIDI etc.

I also had a Mirage. It was awesome!

I also got DigiStix. The included kits are very good and there’s a decent amount of them. I’m using it in NS2 with no major issues. Creating kits and sampling is best done in the standalone mode it seems. I’m OK with that. Timestretch seems to work OK but I haven’t done much with it yet.

Can you export and transfer patches between devices do you know?

No, but this is the kind of developer who would add it if a clear case was made for it. He’s much more “can do” than many of the devs I’ve interacted with

Paa89

I just spoke to the developer.
drag and drop function is on wait for Apple to approve.
So we could use that also to import samples in AUv3 from files app.
And also there might be a pitch automation added,this I don’t know when but he’s pretty fast in implementing

A chromatic option per pad could also be pretty neat?!
(Ie. one midi-channel per pad).

I was thinking that - it’s very close to an iOS version of Maschine, this one.

Bought it. Nice and tidy like all Paul’s apps. This will probably become my go to instead of beathawk I think, as long as it’s relatively easy to transfer kits between devices.

Maybe a bug found. In Cubasis2 when trying to change the sound of a pad, as soon as I tap “Replace” DigiStix crashes hard and you have to kill Cubasis to recover. Mind you, this is while it’s playing.

Just tried in AUM and crashed as well
