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.

Yes, it’s possible but there are a few steps involved so bear with me…
a. Select the desired pattern from the list.
b. Select all notes (double-tap the select tool/icon)
c. Cut notes to clipboard (see fig.1)
d. Open the channel menu that has show/hide controls for MIDI channels 1-12 (see fig.2)
e. Hide all layers the unhide the channel you want to paste your notes into. (see fig.3)
f. Paste your notes from the clipboard
Hope this makes sense - and sorry it’s a little more complicated. At least it works

Sorry to drag this up from so long ago, but I’m looking into folding to notes in atom to use it as a drum sequencer. When you say it can be done with scripting, did you ever see this happen?
Hi Greg,
All it would take is for someone to tweak the CSS stylesheet to do something like this...
.row .not-in-scale {
Display: none;
}
(Please note, the above is psuedocode, and the actual selectors will be named slightly differently. But in principle, this technique will work).
Got it, thanks. I’ve just had a look at the example.css file and can see the relevant classes.
However, I think this will only work for existing scales right? And there’s no way to add your own scales?
Eek. Good point.
I can't remember if you can define your own scales. Possibly not.
Sorry
All good 😊 I bet there’s a css id or class for each individual note but they’re not in the example file. Is @blueveek still alive?
I’ve obviously been living under a rock, since I only discovered Atom 2 two weeks ago. What a fantastic app! I’ve been looking into buying a Launchpad, but I’m worried the app wouldn’t be updated, do you think new iOS updates could break the stability down the line in that case? I was looking forward to recording CC automation, but that seems to be missing. 😢 This forum is new for me as well, what a great source of information.
It records and plays back ccs. But there isn’t a no editing.
As far as I know, the developer has not responded to inquiries about what the future holds.
Thank you for clarifying regarding automation, I must be connecting wrong then. Pitty that you can’t edit automation and see it. 🤞🏻 the development continues.
So, you are having trouble recording ding and playing midi that includes cc’s? Have you used a midi monitor to confirm they are reaching atom and checked its output?
What is the midi source
Hello! I am using Atom as a multi-track live looping MPE and automation sequencer, seriously so grateful for this software and the possibilities it opens up!
Apologies if this has been answered before- If I move the notes from a recording along the timeline, it doesn't seem to carry the CC automation with it. Is there any way to be able to move the recorded automation along the timeline (if not just linking the CC automation to the notes)? Thanks so much for any help
Good question. But unfortunately the answer is no, this isn't possible with Atom 2. There's no possibility of editing CC automation in any way.
A possible SOLUTION: record with midi tape recorder (free app) and use something like Helium or Xequence 2 for edits. Then paste import those clips into Atom if you want that kind of midi modularity.
Not the one stop shot editing inside Atom is would be but (shrug)
Hmmm - is Viktor Porof still missing here on the forum?
Have been really silent from him for a very very looooooooong time now…
Welcome to iOS, non of this is a business for anybody, it is all spare time stuff, basically doing the community a favour, if you have no spare time, then it does not get done, and with todays economy, not so much spare time is available.
Such a shame after the blood sweat and tears that went into atom2. I still use it every day in loopy pro.
It’s very rare for a dev to simply abandon iOS after making such a big investment of time and effort.
Much more likely is one of the following (or a combination of)…
I can confirm, however, that Viktor is alive and well and in good health, as I spoke with him a few months back
Glad to hear he is well
What ever the reason, let’s hope he finds the time to finish atom 2 , it’s a great app
And if he doesn’t, it’s still a great go to app
Thanks for recommending Xequence -- btw, there's no need for an intermediate app like MIDI Tape Recorder. You can record MPE directly into Xequence and then edit straight away.
Thank you so much for yr responses! I feared this was the case, but wanted to ask to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I do have MIDI tape recorder and xequence and did consider recording it into them first, just wasn’t sure if the automation data for all the cc’s would all be imported smoothly into Atom. I’ll give that a go then!
And I agree about hoping for more atom development in the future. I’d pay big $ for cc automation (could even be an in app purchase?) and the ability to save the state of all of the Atom instances in AUM at once (I am using up to 60-100 instances per song across tracks/parts so would save a lot of hassle).
Yeah, I had some contact with him (Viktor) on Twitter earlier this year, but, he said then he will certainly coming back to the forum…
