Like finding free money in your girlfriend's trousers. Lovely.
What are you doing in my girlfriend's trousers?? ;-)
is the sale for version 1 or version 2?
From dev's Facebook page : "We will offer a smooth upgrade path for existing users via the app bundle model. So, it's safe to buy whenever you feel ready."
And the price of entry is only 4 bucks. Can't beat that
So, since updating my iPad 3 to iOS 9, drumperfect won't launch anymore. Anybody else having this problem?
Problem I have with it is that the MIDI is dead, won't play notes. In the configuration page , it keeps reverting to apps that I used with it one time and wants to use them as clock source and they are not even opened....runs like shit too, slow changing pages, real disappointment.
Switching kits sends warning that it will crash. Real crap of an app.
Deleted it!
I don't understand what is going on ? Is it the iOS9 or what?
Different Drummer is another one. Runs for 1 minute and freaks out and sends a shreak of sound and freezes.
Deleted until fixed.:(
@Jakersjaw: could you please try the following: remove the "/state" folder and the file "startup.dat" in the DP's file sharing folder via iTunes. Then restart.
@soundklinik: DP remembers midi sources that were once connected. When tapped, the source port turns either red or green, depending on whether the source app is active or not. Indeed, all source ports appear in the list of possible clock sources. By the way, many apps send midi clock to virtual midi destinations, in which case tapping "DrumPerfect" as destination port for other apps and selecting "DrumPerfect" destination port as midi clock source is a safe choice.
Multisampled kits in DP can be quite large compared to the amount of memory available in the iPad. iOS will simply shut down an app that uses too much memory. Therefore, DP will issue a warning if the user is about to load a new kit while memory usage is already at a risky level. Especially on older models, this can be already the case with a few kits loaded There's no real elegant solution for this: either limit the number of active multisampled kits or use smaller kits, i.e. with less or smaller samples.
I am aware that especially on older models page switching can be slow. In the upcoming version DrumPerfect Pro, page switching will be much faster.
@Marinus, I don't understand why Apple doesn't push all iOS developers to adopt its Document Picker for access to iCloud Drive? Everyone who has purchased iOS apps has a free iCloud Drive storage of 5 GB; and additional storage at reasonable monthly prices. I subscribe to the 200 GB for $2.99/mth. I do not wish to open a 3rd party cloud storage option like DropBox; for potential security problems and more expensive pricing structure.
I can exchange files between my iPad, iPhone and Mac seamlessly with iCloud Drive; whether on WiFi or cellular. I use the free Apple Loop utility on my Mac to create audio .CAF files, which can be used in a number of programs on the iPad; and stored and transferred via iCloud Drive with ease.
Why do not more iOS developers adopt iCloud Drive to save and retrieve data? And why isn't Apple pushing it?
@marinus, I appreciate your feedback. BTW, i have an iPad Air...
Are you aware that DP can't be sequenced from external source? Shame because it could be a great drum machine. I wanted to use it as a sampler..
Why can't you just change kits? (Not stack)
Will you (can you) make the patterns MIDI assignable? (To a note?) you could use 16 notes for the tracks and higher octaves for patterns...just an idea
Your new upcoming version looks good. Will it run faster?
Hey @marinus. Deleting those files and rebooting did it. Thank you.
@Jakersjaw: good to hear it works now!
@soundklinik: many users use DP as a sound source for incoming midi. Could you give more details about how you configured the midi ports?
In the upcoming DrumPerfect Pro version, pattern will be midi-assignable. Also, view switching will be much faster.
@bsantoro: I can only tell you why there's not yet iCloud support in DP... It is on the wishlist, but this list is always longer than the available time for development. I did add audio and midi (also zip) import from AudioShare in the upcoming version.
Hey @Marinus - what info can you provide on the pro ver? Timeline, free or paid upgrade, features, etc.
Hi @Marinus, thanks again for your attention to users.
I tried to use DP as a sampler. I got Arturia Beat step pro, that has 3 sequencers inside.
So my setup was to feed midi on ch.10 to DP. , record notes into BSP sequencer and have them triggered in DP. (I learned notes in DP to BSP)
DP would "play" notes via BSP but not trigger . As if I didn't record them. It plays random notes, here and there. Did I answer your question?
I apologise for my harsh criticism, but you understand, your DP was a last straw in a chain of drum machines that I started to test with BSP....some of which can't even be synced...and by the time I got to yours I was furious...and bummed out...and combined with the lag and the warning of crashing...well I saw myself stuck with a 250€ useless sequencer....LOL
Until I got this sequencer, I didn't realise that out of 15 or so drum machine apps that I have, only 2 can be sequenced.
iElectribe and Diode-108, (that is broken now.)
I really hope you fix your DP,.....and DP Pro could be a masterpiece;)
I understand the complexity of having several samples and A/B per track, but maybe a random function could be added or simply first sample will be triggered. I also realize that using DP as a "sampler" doesn't use its features because it only uses samples.
I like that patterns can be assigned.
Not sure what this means exactly: incoming midi notes can be assigned to any of the 16 instruments in the kit via the Kit Editor (and indeed be learnt). How would DP play notes via BSP as there's no midi out, only midi-in.
@funjunkie27: hopefully before the end of the year, paid upgrade and many new features, some of which are:
smart swing function, jam mode, extended linked sets, advanced editing (swiping drum strokes and such), snare buzz emulation, velocity-sensitive live pads, parts in song structure and more..
I never said DP can trigger notes in BSP. It is not physically possible with iPad. We know that.
I meant to say that the 16 pads in BSP are notes. Once they are learned in DP<>BSP they communicate. One way of course.
So i can play a note/pad on BSP in DP.....just like any synth, but once I record notes in BSPs track, they are not triggered. The DP sequencer is empty. They are recorded in BSP.
Thanks for the insight @Marinus. Sounds great!
Ah, I see. Sorry for the confusion.
You can record the incoming midi notes in DP. E.g. in the Pattern editor, tap record and the midi clock button to wait for an incoming start signal. Despite the incoming midi clock, it is still necessary to set the tempo in DP equal to that of the master clock, which is actually a bug, which will have been solved in DPP!
Midi recording can also be done in the Song editor.
What you suggest Is much more complicated and tedious.
In my setup, DP is slaved, BSP=master, gives metronome, and keeps everything in sync all I have to do is to choose which drum (out of the 16) to sequence and hit record.
The Bsp has 16 sequences of up to 64 steps per sequence. A click on a button away.
I don't even have to see the Drum machines.
Why can't DP play back notes sequenced externally like iElectribe or Diode 108 for example.
Will that be fixed in next pro version?
Actually, quite some users are using DP as a midi sound module, via both virtual and core midi. In case you would be interested to test your scenario with DPP please send me a pm.
Absolutely, thanks:)
Do you mean that those are the only two drum apps you own (in addition to DP) that can record an external sequence to its own sequencer?
Yes, I wish I knew other ones
Yummy, yummy, snare buzz emulation. Just what I've been missing/needing. I feel some Marching Band songs coming on (with a punk flavour, of course).
Ah, bondage trousers (always felt so military), I sorta miss em.
Marching Band Snare? Punk? Looking forward to your version of The Damned's "Love Song"
@Marinus - thanks for the advance info on DP Pro - looking forward to it!
