Patterning to Beatmaker 3
Hey guys, I am trying to route audio from Patterning drum machine into BeatMaker 3.
I have tried using Audiobus and inter app audio, but I cannot seem to get BeatMaker 3 to record any sound that patterning produces. I want to record track by track (8 tracks).
Please can anybody suggest any tips? I am new to BeatMaker 3

Here’s one quick way that works.
It will only work if you have the Main Output loaded to the bank. Otherwise, nothing happens.
That seems brilliant and totally counterintuitive. How did you ever discover that?
BM3’s way of getting tracks to audio is totally counter-intuitive, but I believe is explained somewhere. I think I learned it, not intuited it, but I can’t remember where or how.
As for adding the main out to get it to work? I started by adding the main out, pressed play, and heard sound. While doing that I noticed the individual outs, so I replaced the main out with track 1 out. Humm ... no sound. So I tried adding it back and it worked. If I’d have started with the individual tracks I might not have figured that out. I just got lucky.
Yah Cubasis requires the main output as well for the seperates to work. I think it may be an IAA thing?
BTW, unless there’s some reason one wants to record through BM3, it’s a lot easier just to export the tracks to audio from Patterning then dump them into BM3.
The exports real nice... ahhh zips out and zips in... not enough apps do this.
The OP probably wants to record kit switching which for me is half the fun with Patterning.
Wim thank you! That’s so interesting about the main out being essential, I missed this out and was really struggling!
Exporting audio could be a simple way to do it. I want to just be able to quickly record new patterns without ruining my workflow every time. Do you guys have a quick solution to import/export?
