I got both and Modstep is far better and faster.Midi edition with IL is slow.I would wish something like gadget ,Medly or auxy but there are 3 Different functions to edit ,move or delete a note so it s a waste of Time.Gadget is still the best for editing fast loops.Did someone tried Medly and know How to insert IAA synth ? Medly and auxy are so fun for Quick loops but They are really limited compared to Modstep.Did someone tried midi sketch from Nikozoly ?
Medley isn't an IAA host, so you can't insert IAA synths.
It is a shame because medly was intuitive and easy to use I return to Auxy and Modstep then...
Convinced! Thank you.
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw these apps... Loopy ME will be released this year (I have faith ;-)) and it will probably cover more things than Modstep and IL (and work way better), for my own workflow at least (not trolling, just giving an advice here)... So on my side, I prefer to keep on waiting a bit more ;-)
Funny I bought Modstep the other day and love it, but just watched a video of IL and it looks fantastic for jamming out quick ideas then carrying them over to DAW or Modstep. I really like the chord keys in it.
One thing I haven't delved into in Modstep is midi export to computer and recalling projects with all synths restoring (maybe iaa?)
Ok. First session was tough. Couldn't get any sound from any IAA apps. Managed to load an Arturia Sem as an AU instrument, but it sounded terrible compared with how the synth played on its own. (Is that normal?) plus I have to use that weird Modstep keyboard instead of the Sem's?
I'm sure there's a tutorial that will clear this up. I actually read the manual, but there's no step-by-step guide to laying down a synth part. Do I need to specify the clip length first? Maybe I should buy the new Moog -- I suspect that will help.
EDIT: seriously, I can't find anywhere that lays out how to record an IAA app. I have iSem loaded as an IAA. The track is armed. I push record and switch to iSem. No midi is recorded. I'm at a total loss.
Ok problem solved, I guess. I thought I could use the IAA app's keyboard rather than the odd Modstep one. Maybe I can, but I'll have to figure that out later.
EDIT: Yeah, failure. Anybody want to take pity on a midi newborn and explain to me how I'm supposed to get a 16-bar IAA synth figure in a clip?
PS: The "odd" Modstep keyboard for some reason had defaulted to a gypsy scale. Oy.
You need to "Arm" the track before anything gets recorded. Also. click "IO" to open the midi routing under each track. set midi out to iSEM. if you own Thumbjam you can actually send its midi out to the same track in modstep's Midi In. this way you get a "better" keyboard. Or just stick to Modsteps Keyboard. you cannot record midi from the IAA keyboard on iSem. if you want i could record a video tutorial eventually. just out currently so wont be able to do so for a few hrs.
Gonekrazy: thanks for your response. And I apologize for my slightly desperate tone. At that point, most of the wine was gone and it was almost 2 AM.
But I think I am making very slow progress. I can now get sound, and every once in a while, midi notes appear on the iSem clip! But it's not entirely clear to me what gestures enable recording. I have armed the track. Record button is pressed. And then…? I tap the clip? Which signifies that recording will happen on it? do I get any kind of pre-roll? Can I build a clip through several passes? When I leave the record button pressed, it seems to erase any notes that I have previously recorded!
I'll figure it out. Thanks again.
Don't worry. I'll make a step by step tutorial video soon. Just got sidetracked with Moogs Model 15 and currently making a template for that along with video for a few tricks you can do via mod step to do things like volume ducking (fake side chaining) etc.
Well, that's really generous. I'm not quite sure how I can repay you. But for at least the next week, I shall give up my seat on the F train to a commuter type of your choosing: small children? old men? skate punks? nuns? Your call.
That is brilliant
Very good. Don't say a word, just hand them a small card: "Don't thank me, thank @gonekrazy3000."
So I very generously gave my seat to a homeless guy who smelled like pee and cabbage in your honor.
As for my Modstep woes, the homeless guy suggested that I had an unrealistic expectation of replicating the seamless experience of Gadget but with synths and drum machines you'd actually want to use.
edit: by the way! I can record. Was baffled that in the iSem I couldn't hit the record button in the transport; only the play worked. And the I didn't realize I had to add bars in the clips. I thought I could just, you know, hit record and edit it down later.
Cool.
Could you please include how you record midi via an external keyboard using IAA. I can manage one track but when I set up another and try to record on it with the same external keyboard, well things start getting confused. Sometimes it works, sometimes the exact same process doesn't work. A tutorial video would be marvellous.
Will definitely do it as soon as i can. currently uploading a modstep template for the new Moog Model 15 that pretty much controls every single Knob. that too waay too long to map ._.
anyways.... will be doing some tutorial videos for clip automation tricks most likely tomorrow. Like fake sidechaining using volume ducking via automation clips. will also do some midi routing tricks. will probably do the external keyboard as i do the midi routing video.
Yeah, I'm kind of more hating than loving Modstep at the moment. Finally figured out how to record an IAP midi track, but the next day when I reopened the app, my awesome iSem arpeggio line sounded nothing like what I put down the day before. I thought maybe I had the wrong patch open, but then it occurred to me that Modstep had transposed it up an octave. (Which was weird, because the day before it sounded awesome, as I may have mentioned.) Then after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out the transpose menu, I learned that modstep does not have an undo button. I arpeggio was all over the place, so I just gave up. So, if anyone is in the mood to post up tutorial…
Thank you so much. I've found that if I use the on-screen keyboard in Modstep things go quite well. It's when I introduce an external keyboard controller to record on a few different tracks that my troubles begin.
Jakob just posted a new tutorial. You guys might wanna see it. It's piano roll explanation.
Learnt a few things from Jakobs video. Very helpful. But it's IAA and external keyboards I need help with the most.
Why don't you make a video to show what went wrong on your recording,
So we can based on that to see the problem of yours?
Excellent idea.
I suppose it's fear of looking publicly, very foolish. But it's probably the best idea if I want help. I'll get on to it. Thanks for the suggestion.
@AndyE , I record with IAAs all the time and no problem...over several tracks.
Do you have a correct MIDI setup in ModStep? If you make several tracks, each track has to have its own MIDI channel. If you made 4 tracks=4 midi channels.
As you record into each channel you have to change channels on your controller.
BTW, which controller are you using?
Hi, Andy, no body is really so smart! Someone pretend to be and proud of that!
But from my eyes those are not being true! We or I just love someone who are willing to take others advices! No shame to that. You need to teach others one day!
another possible way is to setup the same Port & Channel for each of the tracks, and then switch the arm button to whatever track you want to record at the time. Only armed tracks will record MIDI from external sources.
Short tap on arm activates/deactivates the track for recording - long tap on arm will activate arm exclusively for the track in question.
Was about to mention cblomerts setup. It's actually what I use. Have a single keyboard input on every track eg Kboard channel 1 with each track having a separate channel output. On each synth make it so that it receives on that particular channel. Example Lorentz receives on mod step channel 7 only. Mood model 15 on channel 8. When you arm a particular track only that specific synth will receive the midi. If a synth only has channel selection but no port selection internally like Tera Synth make it receive a channel number nothing else is using like channel 15.
I'm sure it's something as simple as my midi setup. My controller is a Roland A49.
