Funny how different people are. I tend to lock up creatively in a linear time flow, so being able to quickly pile up a bunch of connected ideas in ModStep, and then assemble them into some kind of order as the process goes on is ideal for me. Once that part is done then into the DAW it gos (though 80% of the time I never get that far...).
for the ones wanting a linear timeline workflow... you guys know that modstep also functions like gadget, right? going to the scene settings and setting the # of loops for each scene can function just like a normal linear timeline, and its how i use it.
Just figured that out, very helpful for getting a song going without having to sit there, babysitting the changes. It is interesting each loop has a number of times it will play as well, so you could have one loop quit before the other loops in the scene.
I also like that it will loop back to the beginning, after the last scene plays,. If you add an empty scene it will act as an "End" marker, though, and it will stop at the end. Good!
It crashes on me with just 2 instance of either Ruismaker and/or Ruismaker FM and modulating 5 or more params.
The AU just disappears/unloads from the tracks after running for few minutes. I am running it on iPad Pro 12.9" 128GB iOS 10.0.2.
Is this possible to group scenes?
For instance: you have your intro (scenes 1 through 4) , your first verse (scenes 5 through 12), a bridge (scene thirteen). Then you want to repeat scenes 1 to 4 again. Any way to drag those first four scenes as a group down below scene 13?
It gets a little tricky when you have a whole bunch of scenes. I can copy scene 1, but I can't drag it far enough down to place below the any scenes beyond 16; I don't think you can scroll beyond what is visible on the screen. And then if you want to bring three other scenes from above down below, you must repeat the same process.
But I have total faith in modstep. I'm sure there is a very precise and logical way to do what I'm wanting to do; I just need to figure out what it is.
I use it this way too but still mix everything and record overdubs in a straight up conventional DAW. There are advantages to both.
I can load 10 plus instances no problem (no crashing) after 5 instances modulating 5 plus parameter, the automation starts lagging. Increasing the buffer to 1024 fixes the problem. But I shouldn't need to increase the buffer, CPU is fine.
No grouping scene is not possible. Not yet:)
You can increase the number of scenes that show in settings, if that helps.
It does, but you max out at 16. What I need to do is name the scenes, so when I'm moving things around I can keep track.
Something definitely not right there. I just tested 4 Ruismakers, 1 Ruismaker FM, Viking, iSEM, and Model 15, all at the same time, with 8 parameters on the RuisMakers, two on Viking, and two on iSEM, and AUFX Push in the master, without a hiccup. iOS 9.3.5 on iPad Air 2. Buffer 256.
Maybe try clearing any ghost apps by holding down the power button until the slider comes up, then holding down the home button until it returns to the home screen? And/or rebooting?
And I made a video how to "route" Midi via IAA to other apps - Elastic Drums in that case
One change I've noticed is you can no longer enable / disable bars from the piano roll and step sequencer. I used to be able to touch the bars at the top to turn them off and back on. Now I can only do that from the clips setting on the session view? Is this a bug, or the intended new functionality?
[Edit: on a new project it works as expected now. Weird.]
I use MIDI Learn. Map the same midi note to a number of different loops
If you select the pencil icon on the edit menu, then tap the scene, you can rename it there
Group select and moving of scenes would be nice, same goes for Gadget.
Dumb question
In step seq view only 16th notes note value is possible?
You can choose over a wide variety of resolutions using the 'menu' next to the four-way cross.
I have been using Ableton Live lately as my live midi looper, controlling apps loaded in AUM. I keep hoping for Modstep to come along and replace Live so I can simplify and be "all in the iPad".
Can Modstep yet allow me to map midi foot control pedals to start recording a clip? Can I press the button again to have it start playing back the looped clip? Can the clip length be dynamic based on how long I play until I click the pedal again? Like Loopy for midi... this is how I am currently using Ableton.
You can start and stop recording using a foot pedal and MIDI learn (and pre-arming the track for record), but I don't know of a way of having the length dynamic
Yes. You can midi learn any midi device including foot pedals to start stop.
No you cannot have Dynamic clip length yet. Pretty much only ableton Live
And loopy masterpiece have this ability. Hopefully loopy masterpiece will be with
Us soon
I see the menu for note value next to the 4 way cross in piano roll view but not step sequencer view. That button in piano roll changes grid size not note value. It looks like "speed" will do what I want. Because it's a 16 step sequencer and one pass of the sequencer = 1 bar, a speed of 1 = 16th notes, speed of 1/2 = 8th notes, etc
Yeah, that app sounds almost too good to be true
What? Had no idea about any of it. Thanks ya'll.
you can actually see it in action in my (hopeless self promotion) video here:-
OK, the trigger sampling in AUM: Again, how?
And what's the hi-hat? That's an IAA?
And I've said this before, but that's a fantastic video, and a cool track. Despite the nearly unforgivable sin of using the Kid Print typeface.
All the drum sounds are the Volca sample with goldbaby's Sp12 samples loaded on it.
The pads in the background was an Iaa. Laplace if i remember correctly. i can see how the hats starting at the same time would lead to that confusion. In my defense i edited the video 15 mins before submission deadline. and was like 4am here @_@. sleep-deprived-last second editing is not my forte lol.
To answer your question about how to trigger the sample i will have to tackle the template editor as well.
since i basically use it to assign CC's as and when i need them. no ready templates per se.
will try and do a video explaining both when i can. been swamped with work last 2 months so never got around to making a video but i will do it soon hopefully
Ah, thanks.
No hurry. But I'm looking forward to the Template Page being demsytified.
Just beautiful! Great sounding track! Thanks for the inspiration!
Tried rebooting, ghost app clearance etc. same issue as above. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem.
Now I am waiting for a "reverse midi clip" feature
