Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

What are you wanting to make Drambo do using instances of Atom?
I think you're limited to one Atom = 1 Midi track.
But that doesn't mean you couldn't use the many ways that Drambo is capable of being automated and able to route signals to do all sorts of cool stuff.
I think he wants the pattern in Atom to change when Drambo changes patterns. As it is now, many instances of Atom would need to be created, with some mixing logic to to get them to follow Drambo in a multi pattern composition. It's not very streamlined, especially if that 'instance' of Atom is controlling a single track. I wouldn't want (e.g.) 8 instances of atom on EVERY track, if I had 8 Drambo patterns in my project. So the solution would be to just allow pattern switching within Atom.
Yes, this.
Would it be better if Drambo had a new clock feature that would enable the Drambo clock output BOTH "a follow the total length of all patterns linearly" as it does now. AND a new feature where the Drambo clock would sync the position the playhead relative to it's play position within each pattern according to the pattern number sequence...
This way having four "2-Bar Patterns in Drambo where each Pattern plays twice" , would require just "one Atom track 8 Bars long". You could record a different pattern onto each two-bar section of the Atom track, and Drambo would control which parts the playhead would play.
If you were to watch the play head in Atom following this type of Drambo sync. You would see the Atom playhead loop twice over each set of two bars on the Atom track (Bars 1+2, then 3+4, then 5+6, etc...), until it reached the end. Because it's following this "special mode" of Drambo "pattern playhead clock sync".
Just an idea.
Sorry but you lost me with 6. I use the midi routing panel in AUM. So I have the BT hardware into the LP and then AUM BT input going to Atom and then Atom to the synth. I then use Note or Chord on the LP. The only time slots or tracks are available is in Bitwig using Mosgraber's script or Ableton. Nothing lit up like that when I used Atom 2.
eta: I'll try plugging the LP USB straight into my ipad. I use BT so that I dont have to do that but for the purposes of research, here we go!
OH... I see. Yes. There it is. Feeling pretty emotional rn. That is awesome! Wow! Woo and indeed hoo. Do not ask for whom the synth tolls, it tolls for theeeeeeeeeeeee.
So, no high pitched noise via USB. Bluetooth is a different matter.
You don't need to route anything in AUM. Connect your Launchpad directly to your iPad (or through a powered USB hub). I don't know how you can use bluetooth because the Launchpad Mk3's don't have bluetooth afaik. If you have some sort of adapter in between, that's not something I've tested yet (and likely to not work).
Read through this thread and maybe I missed it, but is there a way to clear a current clip, or use undo, from a launchpad pro? Or during overdubbing/continual recording while looping, have it overwrite? Or do I have to do this from the iPad display?
Really really really fantastic work. Feel like creating another appleID just to buy it again to support you. Or have a PayPal I can just throw loot at?
There's some new "Delete notes" and "Reset pattern" controls in the latest version, but they're not exposed to the Lp pro yet. How about using the "Clear" button on the left on the controller, would that do the trick?
Thank you! No PayPal, but I appreciate it.
Ty. I have edited my post.
\o/
Please be sure to also read my first post on this thread about "pad assignment" and "auto routing".
Not sure what you mean by not needing to route anything in AUM? Atom needs to be routed to whatever it's playing, right? And the LP needs to be routed too. I know you're v busy rn so perhaps someone else can help me out here?
Will do. Thanks for Atom 2. I'm sure you know but you really really don't. This is the loom upon which we will weave.
You only need to route atom clips to the right instruments. For everything else, read my first post.
On it, thanks.
Awesome app!
@blueveek : is there a way to record and edit midi continuous cc ?
currently not , but the dev said it's coming , check previous pages
has anybody done any videos yet with the launchpad? i’m still trying to wrap my head around how that will work. i thought i saw a pre release video with launchpad a long time ago?
Is the default velocity of notes 100? It seems to be, but I just wanted to make sure as the velocity slider affects + and - values on what's already there rather than actually showing the figure. But adding 27 seemed to get the bar on the note itself all the way to the right hand side, so that's 127, so default is 100. I think.
Be interested in this aswell.
Or, we nominate Victor Porof to get The Nobel Peace Prize 2021 - then he gets 1 million Euro in cash from the Swedish Nobel Acedemy!
Why? every girl & boy out in the world who discover his amazing app wouldn’t have time for any war!!
Version 2.0.2 is now under review and includes the following improvements:
That drag and drop is gonna be so useful! Thanks for killing it with this app!
I left a review, but didn’t see it show up on the AppStore.. I don’t know if it takes time for that to show up or not. (Also encouraging more folks to review, I think as of this morning the AppStore only said there were 8 reviews, surely that can’t be right..)
What's the timeline on this. Still rocking 13.7 myself.
Darn.. that’s huge.. and fast..
you are a legend... thanks..
Take a break bro I can’t keep up.
I forget, is it possible to record multiple channels of midi into one instance of Atom? And will the resulting file/recording output to multiple midi destinations?
As a midi file player can this app then play a list or group of files?
Not yet.
@blueveek really enjoying Atom 2 but i am experiencing quite a few crashes when using multiple instances to drive 3 or more synths in Drambo.
Could you and @giku_beepstreet sync up to look in to this. Atom2 fails to load after it crashes in Drambo and i am unable to recover the file. Let me know if there’s anything i can provide to assist in this issue.
Thanks. 👊🏼™️
I'm going to set a block of time this weekend to go through and do this very migration. Also a good time to see what's wheat and what's actually chaff.
