    I just want some way of retaining a bunch of notes which are held, basically a custom chord, attached to each separate arp instance. I’m guessing Mozaic might have something?

    It can be done with Mozaic.
    Store the last chord (or even multiple chords) that kicks off when host starts playing.

    Mozaic ? FugueMachine?

    lol didnt use keyboard.

    Thanks.

  • sigma79sigma79

    Stepbud and Arpbud dont sync. Is it because its an arp?

    I could match Stepbud sequencer with drambo but cant with arpbud.

  • sigma79sigma79

    Guess it dosent need to as with arpbud, you are gonna tweak and put out of sync stepwise anyway.

    I’ve got some requests about the “draw mode” like in StepBud. Sure, I’ll work on that!
    BTW it would be great if you can leave a rating or a review to the app store page, it makes the app more visible, thanks!

    Will do. Draw mode would be great.

    What do you mean by buffers, like notes that should be triggered, but haven’t caught up to Arp yet?

    Last thing @cem_olcay i notice someone shared a pic earlier in this thread of all of your apps, and in that pic they had ChordBud 2... I’m guessing that person is beta testing? If so any chance I could get on that beta? And is their an eta on the Chord Bud 2 app?

  • PoppadocrockPoppadocrock

    Review done.

    What about AUM’s keyboard > Tonality Chord Pads > ArpBud 2 > synth/piano?

    -load an empty 2x2 pad set in Chord Pads
    -add a custom chord to Chord Pads by holding a pad until it turns red.. it then waits for input from a keyboard
    -put AUM’s keyboard into sustain mode and then play the notes you want.. connect it to your source in order to hear it
    -tap that pad to get it out of record mode + then latch playback in Chord Pads
    -hit play in AUM
    -adjust ArpBud 2 to taste

    Sounds like a good solution! I haven't even played with the chord pads in Tonality yet, cheers bro

    Buffers I just mean that it actually saves the notes that were played from one session to another rather than opening blank and needing input again

    Mozaic ? FugueMachine?

    I don't think fugue is a good choice for just one permanently sustained chord, is it?

    Thnx, is there a particular mozaic patch for that?

    One of the first things I tried. Good combo especially with the latch on Tonality.

  • PoppadocrockPoppadocrock

    Navichord, Chorbud, chord up, Tonality, step Bud on chords, Keynality, chord poly pad, are all good chord options

    Thnx man. But...on stepbud can u make your own custom chords with as many notes as you like? And then can you name them and save them?

  • GavinskiGavinski

    The most important thing is for me to he able to make custom chords as long as I want, latch them, and preferably save them with a custom name.

  • royorroyor

    @Gavinski Yeah, I just thought about what I would do + that was my initial instinct.. pretty easy BUT you need 1 Chord Pad instance for each ArpBud 2.. I think you can manage that though.. I’ve seen the size of some of your AUM sessions.. 🤪

  • GavinskiGavinski

    Exactly haha, not a problem. Thnx man, it's time I finally read the manual for Tonality too I think

    I'm not aware of one, but it's certainly doable.
    I'll give it a try as it seems like a utility I would use...

    All I want to add to this conversation is that once you figure it out @Gavinski , please create one of your awesome tutorial video for lazy bums like us 😂😂

    I think you can only use the chords provided, but does have a decent selection and I believe you can switch inversions on, maybe that’s another Bud app... you can slide it all the way up to Get sevenths ninths elevenths etc.

    I’d go tonality for custom chords, but it doesn’t sequence. However you can just record tonality output into Atom and bada bing bada boom.

    Oh I meant Atom piano roll.
    FM could do I guess. Just draw the chords you want and press play with only one play head. ??

    But there might be better solutions.
    I don’t think Suggester has been mentioned. It can sequence chords and they can be customized

  • reasOnereasOne

    i want to see some parameters added to the randomize section, such as min/max ranges for ratcheting and octave

    Good idea, my vote is definitely for velocity, but If you could set a min max for all parameters that you randomize that be amazing.

  • GavinskiGavinski

    +100 I'd love to see more control over the parameters. But I also really wish these were on the main screen rather than settings. I guess though it is done the way it is for the benefit of iPhone users, so might not be feasible to change that
