to further clarify modstep lets me import midi clips from audioshare so i can quickly import a bunch of the midi clips and jam with my volcas
The major (unexpected) leap for me that Troublemaker presented by also working as IAA was usability on iPhone. Definitely a lot more enjoyable to use on a small screen this way. Troublemaker's UX is very well done to suit an iPhone screen too, I love how it has two overlapping layers that transition so effortlessly.
I'm having an unbelievable amount of fun too, making patterns in Troublemaker and exporting to Modstep or Aleph Looper. This 'rapid fire' MIDI export is a really nice workflow that I'd never really touched on before, perfectly suited to these kind of clip based sequences. I'm not really aching for more steps personally as I love the simple nature of it myself especially as I can work in interesting ways between Troublemaker and Modstep (although 20/24 could be interesting for 5 and 6 time). I can definitely see the value in it however, and a possible alternative that stays nicely in touch with the theme could be some kind of 'song mode' that allows patterns to lead on from each other. The trailer could be amended to brag about how patterns can be constructed while remaining synced to a MIDI clock
I would however, kill or die for a fine tune dial. It's the only thing keeping Viking synth loaded on my machine.. as good as Viking is, I enjoy Troublemaker for performance more in every possible way! (apart from being able to be played in tune in my usual contexts of performance)
I also prefer that (Audio Units + DAW), but, as Gonekrazy said, we can have multiple ipads.
I personally use 3 !
Each of them running Modstep, then from each Modstep, synths are controlled by midi. Each of them runs AUM, so each of them can be controlled with IAA Start/stop, (and also by fact handling Link...), and Modstep also catch the IAA clock to redistribute to midi clock chain.
From an external controller, I've got one button to push to run the 3 Modstep at the same time, in sync, launching all other type of sync.
I also have 3 other midi buttons to launch each IAA Start/stop from AUM individually.
Each Modstep control one type of synths ( one control drums, one control synths & bass, one control effects and voices, and also is the master mixer for all of them.
I prefer to use the clips from Modstep most of times, but in the case of troublemaker, it's really about gigging live that I'm interested in...
Great learning about your workflows. Some power user stuff going on there
I would like either 64 steps in the sequencer or pattern chaining (either would do) for these reasons.
I setup my NanoKontrol2 with Troublemaker last night and it works really well....I have the eight faders as the 8 main rotary controls, the top row of rotaries as the smaller ones in TM...and then have mapped the transport / track select etc to the different waveforms. Total control of the synth with no need to switch to the app.....would be really nice with longer patterns when jamming
Also @brambos I hope your roadmap is set for 2 more major releases followed by 3 minor updates to that last release.......v 3.0.3
All of this.
I tried 3 times to leave feedback and it didn't work.
is it because the update came out ? Needs new reviews ?
activating notes is still fiddly. i have to concentrate and be super careful so i don't nudge a c into a c# for example. scales would at least make these accidents happier. still should have a long press or something to move.
Skip Note Probability now also in there (v.1.1.3). Also all mutation features are now controllable via MIDI CC (#40-#43).
User manual is now fully up to date again.
Have fun!
@brambos is a monster!
Fully agree...
Thanks.... .....
I'm hooked..
Daaaammmmnnnn! You are absolutely unbelievable! You need to stop now because I'm seriously starting to sound like a lunatic in my App Store reviews.
Skip step is huge
Hummm ... sorry @brambos, but I don't think skip step is working. I created a straight 8 note pattern and set various probabilities for skipped notes. Nothing changes.
Seems to be working here. Or at least I can hear change(s) when introduced etc. (Pro/latest)
Did you update to 1.1.3? What device are you using?
It seems that my interpretation of what "skip step" meant differs from the design. I thought skipping a step would mean simply that the note at that position would not sound, but the step would remain, creating a "gap" in the sound.
But if I now understand correctly, what it means is the step is left out altogether, effectively shifting the pattern. In that respect, it is working as designed. Sorry for the confusion.
I would actually find this more useful
Would still like a big STOP WHERE YOU ARE ARE RIGHT NOW button....I seem to modulate etc, hear something fabulous but by the time I've got to getting the setting back to zero it's already changed....maybe missing something obvious?
Midi learn please! Not every controller is remappable!
They should be. That's what Midi controllers are for. :-)
But either way, it's technically tricky in Troublemaker to do that (not impossible, but also not worth the effort) because of how cc are internally mapped 1-1 to AU parameters.
Seriously, midi controllers are supposed to be flexible to fit in any midi setup.
I think Philippe is saying that not every physical controller is remappable so can't be used with the standalone app. not that its not usable with the AU.
Exactly, thanks!
Right, but even in the standalone app it's actually running the plugin. The standalone app is a small AU host which is made to host just one plugin. Within the plugin the CC codes are mapped to AU parameters with the same address. The AU parameters are leading in the AU code. So decoupling them is a bit tricky.
Nevermind! Just figured that AUM can do the trick! Thanks anyway
AUM is pure gold
Just a thought I had while driving in this morning.....
If the IAA app were able to load without Troublemaker hosted but a Control surface version instead....and it sent MIDI out, you could load Troublemaker instances in your DAW and still use the IAA sequencer / Synth controls to control that instance.....it would also allow you to record MIDI of manually switched patterns or mutations.....
