@crzycrs : @Kaikoo2 ´s tutorials are great, definitely! If you are looking for more of a basic overview, we will publish some videos tomorrow.
It is awesome you ask for, so I ready to create Fugue Machine on Modstep mixing by AUM and morph part of fx by Turnado, using Viking AU, iSem AU, Animoog, iMini.
How that sound? Complex? Crazy? Ye! That is the way you professional can sell CD and mp3, I give you free tut only! LOL!
No! I want to teach normal people to have fun with them!
Wait few hours!
Ye, thanks (:
You can extend to 10 synths on this method if you want! Maybe a new 9.7 iPad Pro doing well on that!
Plus on Ableton link too.
Jakob Haq has made some Modstep tutorials! They will be up on the Modstep channel soon, apparently. 5 videos - I don't know if there will be more.
And here they are, the first 5 videos of our tutorial series with Jakob:
Jakob is good on preparing and organizing things well
Show your Volca FM on it, Jakob... Make it fly not sinking
Jakob, Modulation King it claimIng...... Show them one hundred parameters real-rime modulations for one voice for Volca....., beat it!
A lot of wonky behavior has been turning me off of Modstep at the moment. Then I switch to some alternatives and they're wonky as well.
@rhcball : what exactly do you mean with wonky?
Like I had Thumbjam running inside Modstep, four MIDI channels, and suddenly the grand piano (ch 1) became very quiet, almost silent. The mixer didnt make a difference. Other stuff too that I can't remember.
I also don't understand the sequencer for the chord and key/pad modes, it's very difficult to get a few chords down and on the right beat, which is bugging me cuz the chord mode is one of my favorite features.
The piano roll and the global scales almost make up for it though.
(As for the Thumbjam problem, it got all jacked up running six channels from Infinite Looper too so maybe it's a Thumbjam problem).
Need your help....
Drum Perfect pro is one of drum machines that can be triggered from outside, by sequencer, keyboard controller, anything.
I can't sequence it in ModStep......why oh why? I tried everything, just can't get a note out
I got channel 10 selected, all works on other synthesisers, but no luck in MS...
Is that a bug or noob problem?
Actually this brings out a "question" about drum machines in MS. Are they sort of limited in use? Not a MOdStep problem, just an observation...all those clips under them...empty
THOSE THAT CANT BE TRIGGERED by external source they just "sit there" and play...one pattern that is loaded. If you want a different pattern you must go in and change it manually.
Imagine that each of the 16 pads could memorise a pattern! That would be great...since one pattern can be up to 16 bars long....and they would change automatically with change of clips....
Sort of a thing that is done with synths...(but not notes,) since those drum machines can't be triggered by external sources.
I really like the internal sampler, it is perfect, just lazy to make all them kits...they are already in my DPP...
I love MS! Its awesome but also has a huge learning curve.
With Infinite Looper I was able to sequence DPP exactly as you mentioned. You can create a bunch of loops, patterns, and trigger them automatically in song arrangement mode. Its realm awesome too. I'll get my head around MS but in the meantime IL is was enough.
@soundklinik I don't have DrumPerfect Pro all figured out yet but I got Modstep controlling it. Not sure what I did different from you. Seems to me like the last DrumPerfect Pro in the IAA list is for the midi control and all the others above that are for the audio output of all the individual drum kit sounds.
Wow, many thanks @firejan82, THAT'S great news, I'm gonna dive back in ...appreciate your findings
How many individual tracks do you have loaded? ..and how do you use them?
I only loaded the first one....don't even know which one it was...
Cheers
Anybody on an ipad 4th gen or lower using Modstep's internal instruments and maybe an AU or two, and getting lots of audio breakup? It doesn't affect exported recordings, but it's sort of hard to work with, I figured my ipad could manage some sampler tracks and one instance of viking.
@soundklinik My pleasure. I would record the audio from individual tracks once I'm happy with the whole session. Import it into Auria, use the kick track for side chain input, pan the percussion, standard stuff like that. But until I have a Modstep session worth recording I will be using just the bottom one named All Instruments, which if I understand correctly is for the midi and master channel audio meaning all the drum kit sounds together.
Alternatively I would leave the All Instruments track in Modstep and load the others into AUM.
You can have all 17 tracks loaded in Modstep.
@soundklinik the first one should be the kick, the one that when you press on it it'll open the drop down menu of all the others.
@firejan82 , and you that want to use DPP, it works really well.
Couple of things I discovered fiddling around. Any of them can be loaded, the MAIN part is to enable midi out to DPP and set MIDI ch.10.
Both editors can be used melodic or drum with different results.
In "IO" section right lower corner.
Cheers, bedtime 4 me
@firejan82 , thanks, got it working great.
However, I am puzzled with the multitude of DDPs that you got loaded. In your case, if you load the BD track, can you play/sequence ONLY the BD pitched, and only the BD plays?
If that's the case, it would be great.
When I load BD, (or any of the 16 tracks) I get all the tracks playing...
Are you doing something with internal midi in DPP to get only a chosen track playing for example in BD?
Another discovery: ModStep and Bismarck B16
The more I experiment with ModStep the more interesting the app is getting and I am just scratching the surface.
The setup is simple.
1 create as many tracks as you want B-16 to play in and drag B-16 in first track.
2 enable midi out in tracks with output to B-16 and give each track a MIDI channel- 2 and up (they will have midi icon!)
3 return in MS and hit A and record and open keyboard on desired track and start recording...
Hopefully your sound fonts are in their respective places and channels inside B-16
No need to move out of ModStep, just activate tracks and record. Very simple all done on ONE page.
Wow, how will this be with other multi timbre apps? IMS-20 and others where you can control midi channels?
@soundklinik I did't try that, I don't know how I would go about trying to play the kick or snare in different pitches.
I didn't put any midi data into all the individual drum kit tracks. I guess it works on any track as long as it's routed to channel 10 but I'd still use those individual tracks just for recording the audio. I wouldn't even have them loaded until I am ready to record. I sequence all the kit sounds from one track the All Instruments one at the bottom of the list. If I didn't need the audio separated into tracks I wouldn't use the others I'd just record the audio from all the kit sounds from that All Instrument track.
@firejan82, ok, now I get you, see I was kind of thinking that it could be possible to record a single drum like kick in DDP since the channels are individual and doing that could be in pitch.
Something like you can do in iMS-20 or or DS-10. Each channel is separate and so any part is recorded in pitch. That's great.
Now I understand your recordings, you do audio rec. I got this baby few days ago so I am still discovering basics...
Hell, didn't even go into all the esoteric features yet...
You can do the same with Roland SC up to 16 channels.
True, just I don't have that one....
iDS-20 works great too....will try other
How do you manage recorded AUDIO loops?
I have no problem recording them.
I got problems in finding them, loading them and identifying them, because they have all the same name: (1)-1.wav.
If I make a loop and locate it, it has same name and even though it is a different loop and I click on it and do : "copy to sampler" I get "file exists, overwrite?"
The path to load audio into sampler is confusing and frustrating....
What am I missing? It seems to me that the audio should be available and ready to be loaded into the sampler, but I struggle locating it and even though I copy to sampler it's never there? Which sampler is it copied to?
Is there an easy way?....The manual doesn't cover this very much.
Any ideas? Thanks
@soundklinik
Rename tracks. Finding your recordings will be much easier since they will be "track name-1"
You can find imported samples in "imported" folder
Feature request and please forgive if already brought up.
When importing midi files, MS creates new track. Please allow option to just drag midi file from browser to selected track or even yet, selected scene. This will speed up workflow big time! Or have both options, create new track or allow to drag and drop just like we do effects and instruments. How possible is this?
Hi,
I was wondering what it means:
does this mean that modstep can act as an audio looper like loopy HD?
If this is possible then I will wait for another app sale to purchase this app Lol
I am having a few issues
Some synth apps aren't working with modstep at all, for example ims20 and iProphet are loaded in IAA in modstep but nothing when for example addictive synth or iSEM are working
Also impc pro isn't recognized when in link inside modstep.
Any ideas?
