AUM question
Is there a way to bounce the session down?

Sure. Send each channel to one Mix Bus (say, Mix Bus A); Open a new channel and make the Source Mix Bus A. Enable the record in that channel.
Also, you can record each channel independently if you want the stems.
you can make quantized recordings by record arming the tracks you want to record (R in circle) then pressing the record button on the transport
I'm really digging this ios music guru version of you
totally makes me responding with directions unnecessary 
Yeah, well, I've learned from the best. And if anybody asks about the three things I know — I'm raising my hand, man!
good to see you sharing the knowledge. just for that i think i might cook up a video over the weekend showing how to use various apps like step poly arp and thumbjams arps to make complex melodies from a single chord progression and also basicaly recreating fugue machine in modstep.
Waiting.
I hope I don't disappoint lol. I'll do my best. Just a heads up the following apps will feature:- ThumbJam, step poly arp and gadget alongside modstep.
Thanks
+1, that'd be awesome.
Oh boy. Something has gone horribly horribly wrong with the recent update. Can't get ThumbJams arps to work properly in time at all even with ableton link. It seems to start 1/4th of a bar late no matter what I do. More testing needs to be done I think.
Edit:- On further testing it seems to be a ThumbJam specific problem
using iaa sync it works in proper time but at random a note is suddenly super short. This is discouraging 
Edit2:- yep. Something severely messed up in thumbjams link sync. It's arps are retired for now from my studio
Interesting. I guess the idea is to create 4 tracks with different play directions and speeds, having the same notes (from the same scale) in the clips. The downside would be that if you want to do interactive fugueing with the notes in the same manner, you would need to redo the same note changes in each of the 4 clips. The upside would be that you could have separate notes and loop ranges for each playhead, features I believe have often been requested in fugue threads. Nice!
more or less. was actually going to use thumbjams multiple arps at mutiple speeds being fed by the same clip runnign at different speeds to do some interesting midi generation. but since thumbjam broke some of the more interesting multi arp stuff will have to be put aside temporarily till its clock gets fixed. my testing shows that midisteps, fugue machine and step poly arp are all working in perfect time with modstep. the good news is fugue machines timing is so rock solid that you can basically record all 4 playheads into modstep. and then do the more advanced stuff with the midi that fugue machine itself lacks like moving the loop bracket per part. recording the video might take a few more days till i figure out what midi processing chains are stable.
That sounds like a good plan. @sonosaurus is often quick to fix bugs (if this is indeed a bug), so here´s hoping to see that video soon! Also looking forward to some SPA tricks. I have Kirnu Cream and haven´t been able to justify a SPA purchase yet. If it only was an AU or something.
i own Cream. but the fact that it does not have link keeps it from being used that often in my case.
What recent update are you referring to? There hasn't been any TJ updates since September.
Can you provide details on your exact setup to see if I can reproduce?
@sonosaurus I meant the iOS update. Last time I used thumbjams arps with link and modstep was in iOS 9.3+. It seems to be that there is a minor offset as to when the appregiator starts now. As in the link phrase starts 1/4th of a bar late. This can be tested by recording the midi out from thumbjam back into modstep. Using midi clock instead of link this does not happen. Is there a way to change the link offset in thumbjam ? Cause midi steps, step poly ARP and fugue machine seems to be perfectly in time. keep in mind. i'm talking about sending midi from Modstep=>thumbjam=>modstep.
EDIT:-
@sonosaurus just tested again sending midi from thumbjam=>ableton over the iconnectaudio4+
there is a mismatch even with Ableton. lets say we have an Arp going up with the notes ABCD using latch mode in thumbjam. in ableton its actually recieving D as the first note in the phrase. once again 1/4th of a bar off.
@gonekrazy3000 OK, I tested it out and TJ's Arp is sensitive to when you play the notes as to when the pattern is played in relation to the timeline. It appears to round up to the next division to determine when to "start" the pattern, so if you play the notes somewhere after the 4th beat but before the downbeat then the resulting output will place a 4 note arp where you expect it.
Perhaps because your examples are setup to have an evenly divisible number of notes in the arp for the bar you may have expected a different behavior from TJ, but consider if you had 3 or 7 notes latched, the start point becomes arbitrary, and that's why TJ uses the actual live initiation event of the notes to determine relative ordered timing.
I kind of guessed that. Is there a way to offset its start position ? Coz even at minimum latency possible of 128 frames it refuses to start like other arps do on the 1 in link.
Here's what's I mean. With notes abcd sent from modstep in an up pattern StepPolyArp actually starts the arp with A-B-C-D on the 1. It's only thumbjam that waits and starts at the
2nd step. One of the benefits of ableton link is that the phrase start is easy to synchronise.
While I understand starting before the downbeat is a workaround it makes it difficult to use it in one of my multi appregiator chains that also use other arps alongside thumbjam to generate midi.
What I'm asking for is could you maybe make a setting in options where the arp slavishly chooses its start point to the start of the next link phase instead of starting at the next division ? Would make it more usable for me in a studio context.
>
Yes, this makes sense, and it may not even need to be an option given how kind of arbitrary the current way feels. It wouldn't actually wait until the next Link phase to start, but the note ordering would be set up so the first note in the sequence would/will have played on the nearest downbeat (either in the past or future, depending on when the arp was triggered).
That would be perfect
All good.
I tried to recreate some fugue machine behaviour in modstep, but I can´t seem to find the "reverse direction" in the latter after all! I think I must have confused it with the reverse option for the internal sampler instrument. So I´m wondering whether you´ll be able to recreate fugue machine with thumbjam arps thrown into the mix, @gonekrazy3000.
Actually you ain't mistaken. There doesn't seem to be a reverse direction. My bad really.
For now the best results is feeding the actual fugue machine into modstep and then manipulating the recorded midi. You can still do interesting stuff with multi arps though.
Just waiting for thumbjams arps to get their link implementation changed a little bit first
