New version working much better!
Feature Request: Piano roll snapping. I'm not very accurate with my sausage fingers. Need the assist!
Of course later I want to go back and nudge everything to humanize it, but I like to start quantized
Modstep 1.0.3.38 beta testing the following improvements.
CC behavior changed: While Rec All is off, only the selected CC will be modulateable, all others remain untouched or play there recorded modulation. When Mod All is engaged, 8 CCs per X/Y-Pad can be modulated and recorded at the same time.
*Added „All Inputs“ option to Tracks’ MIDI Input Settings
„All Inputs“ is the default for new Tracks
*Added manual link
*Added Track setup label for IAA Midi
*Enhancements for IAA loading, reloading and deleting
New Templates:
Roland A-01
Korg minilogue
Roland TR-8
Waldorf Streichfett
Meeblip anode
Meeblip anode LE
Updated with mappings for the Pads:
Korg Volca Sample
Korg Volca Beats
New Sample Kits:
Tonal Kits
Bugfixes
Well that's good news!
The new Tonal kits are pretty good and nice hardware template expansions aswell
Glad to see the continued updates. it has actualy been really stable for me and I average about two hours a day in it now and it maybe crashes once or twice but only when i push the iaa shenanigans way too high.
i do hope you can rename recordings soon. It seems you cannot 'copy to sampler' if the name of the recording you are trying to copy already exists.
Some good concise tutorials would be extremely helpful.
There's an inapp link to the Modstep YouTube channel in the beta, there's a couple things there that helped me with basics
Thank you! Didn't realize that...
When's this update coming out? Any word?
This thread is such a roller coaster of excitement and disappointment, with new possibilities always on the horizon. I'm close to purchasing the damned thing just so I can follow along more closely.
I wasn't able to sign up for the beta in time so I'm still on 1.0.2 and there are a few videos on youtube but they confuse me more than help me at this point. Very frustrating! Just wish tutorial videos were a priority. For someone who really knows the app, how hard can they be to produce? I would do them myself if I thought I could figure things out on my own. I'm going to stop banging my head against the wall for awhile...
i am in the camp of excited with no need of additonal big features, aside from just the simple renaming of recordings. audioshare import would be cool and I assume is forthcoming as it can export to it but really, now that the audio recording is in if Modstep didnt evolve any further (and given the amazing response of updates it clearly will) I would be happy as a clam for a very very long time. For me it has reached the cherry on top/gravy threshold.
i wager if you go in thinking 'hey, whatever i can do, i can do' then you may find some value in it. For me I am all about simple modestly sequenced audio recording of little realtime sketches/jams of IAA apps for later editing into larger more epic pieces in a pc daw. it does this great, better than cubasis and auria pro imho. Perfect for techno, hip hop, glitch, edm, dubstep etc From what i can gather the folks who have the most disapointment (and this seems to be in general on iOS) are those wanting to make complete tracks strictly in IOS
or do live performances.
@AudioGus Funny. I'm all about musical sketching, but not into techno, hip hop etc.. I'm into easy, because I don't use the iPad for long stretches, but then everyone's clamoring for tutorials because they find it so hard. Such a study in contrasts and I still feel like an outlier.
No big whoop though. I usually just buy all the apps and see for myself, but with this one being twenty beans I get to prolong the suspense.
Just out of curiosity what are you into as far as genre and general workflow / process?
Hey everyone,
Thanks for posting the change-log here - as you can see we decided to do another 'smoothing' update before we put in most of the new features that we discussed here. Hopefully this version will prove stable and a little more straight forward than the last. It contains mainly bugfixes and small enhancements - and some changes in workflow when using external keyboards/controllers with the app.
With these changes it should now be a lot easier to hookup an external keyboard and play & record several tracks by arming them separately.
tutorial videos are coming, and we should have the first ones available this week - we'll focus more on the accompanying media stuff once the current version in beta is out for public use - so as soon as apple reviewed it!
@AndyPlankton
Thank you very much for these - thats a great set of ideas! And most of them make sense in our current plan to expand the session-page!
@Richtowns
We'll have to think of a smart way to incorporate this into the GUI without making it too complex, but the idea is great! Noted
@JiggyWig
Hehe i completely know your pain, so snapping will be in the next feature update!
@AudioGus
Read your comment too late unfortunately - so it will only be in the next update. Until then you could create a new folder and move the recordings to those subfolders before copying the new ones over.
@gkillmaster
what's your email address? i'll invite you to the current beta so you can get the latest version as well.
We have a few changes about the way we'll handle the song-mode, but more on that later
[email protected]
Thank you!
@cblomert thanks for the update. Is your email address, [email protected], a good place for users to send bug reports?
I've not taken the plunge to get ModStep yet. (I'm enjoying the super clean and simple UI of midiSTEPs).
Apps with 'black background' cause a strain on my eyes
Maybe future versions of ModStep will have 'themes' similar to what SunVox has?
Hello ! thank you so much for all those updates, modstep is getting really good, I cant wait for AU support
Something else; in ableton I use a lot the "velocity/random/scale" midi FXs, for some kind of generative music, is it possible to integrate something of that taste in modstep ? iap maybe ?
Ahoy! Works! thanks!
@Processaurus
yes definitely, that's the best spot!
Great communication and updates. Im a happy customer.
BTW I like to use Oscilab to send beautiful geometric cc sequences to my favorite synths (MidiLFOs also) and Id love to record these in ModStep but I think it only records from 'external' midi. Any chance we can send out our oscilab/midilfo ccs to ModStep in the future?
Even if I don't have ModStep yet (I do have MidiLFOs & midiSTEPs) it would only make sense to integrate some kind of MidiCC-Generator into ModStep, that would save one from drawing stuff and encourage experimentation by altering the modulators. Perfect lines, triangles or sine waves are quite hard to draw by hand
Recently(today) I've being looking for a midi clip launcher with audiobus remote a la loopy. Does it make any sense?

Thanks
I knew it is coming, but couldn't find some detailed infos, nor did I looked for them a lot
But it is exactly what I was looking for
looks interesting
would be cool to have xy pads that restrict to scales etc... that could record into those slots as well, like the kaosspad
@kobamoto
Go and tell him. Either in the forum linked above or email. Its in development right now.
Got Modstep to make some music for the first time yesterday, sequencing a multitimbral hardware synth, a nord Lead 3. The idea was to use the iPad as a MIDI looping pedal, of sorts, to be able to get a loop going on one of the voices, and be able to play the other voices. still some bugs/weirdness, but nothing that crashed or stopped the show, in a couple hours of using it. Was recording into it from the synth and playing back into the synth, MIDI only. Worked great, after an hour of trying to figure out how to make it record external midi. Read the $%*king manual and figured out there is an "Arm" button, per track.
The CC automation is great. I could record knob moves off the synth and play them back. It is set up in a really nice way, in a lane under the piano roll, and the zoom matches the timeline zoom, so you can zoom way out and do slow sweeps over multiple measures.
There were a couple hiccups with the CC recording, some erroneous snaps when I had minimal nodes on the automation curve, and it wouldn't record some CCs, which I believe was connected to me having loaded a CC template from some random synth, rather than starting from scratch. It would only record the CCs that weren't taken in the template, I think. Next time I'll start with a blank template.
I liked the piano roll too. I used genome for the same task, and struggled with the navigation and editing, and flying blind where in the measures the playhead was- the issue being knowing when to stop playing, so when you record you don't go over and start piling notes on the first loop, and have to edit them out by hand, or start over. The little play bar on each measure in the timeline works wonders for recording good loops.
I wanted some drums to go with it, so I started up another,older iPad, with patterning, and turned Link on, and boom! They just synced up. WOW. Unbelievable. No futzing with ports, and virtual outputs, masters, slaves, ip addresses, launching intermediary apps... It just worked. Almost eerie.
The point was just that it was working the way I was hoping a sequencer would, looking like it will be a fantastic piece of software. Thanks to the developers for their ongoing efforts improving its stability and usability!
