You can also download DX samples from http://www.legowelt.com under "samples" for free
Add the AU instances to seperate pads and then assign each of the pads to the same link group.
I had this problem in modstep (many mugfixes ago) and finally rescued the project by temporarily uninstalling Ruismaker, then opening the project. I didn't have many presets then, so didn't bother trying to back them up, but you would want to if you have presets you don't want to lose.
Kinda radical surgery, but it saved me losing all that work at the time.
So can the bass play an actual bass line with different notes and not just repeated notes on the sample? Does switching it to "Keys" mode while recording MIDI do that without affecting the other two pads with samples on them?
Yes, but for me it's broken. I've tried a few apps, Xynthesizr, Addictive pro, looperverse and their timelines always freeze when in Audiobus 3 sending audio to BM3. In a pad of a bank you can have audiobus as an input. Then you can select in an audio track, the internal pad with audiobus as an input in the IO panel.
Yep, happens for me too, mine was stuck on loading EOS2. I restarted BM3 a few times and eventually got it to work. Doesn't leave me with much confidence though to build complex stuff. Think I might wait until there's some maintenance updates when it'll be more stable. Looks like some AUs have a problem with BM3.
Having intermittent issues with the mixer sliders being choppy and unresponsive too, restart fixed it. (for me this was being caused by Audio Damage Dubstation AU)
WTF?
OOOHH, they needed to be in the SAME BANK also. I'm still wrapping my head around how this Bank/Pad/Link Group thing works.
Thanks BTW. Problem 1 solved.
@Carnbot
I'll be waiting too.
Ah... thanks - got it working.
I was using 'pattern automations' (where you can drill down into 'animoog' and then lots of numbered parameters - but they do nothing) rather than 'pattern midi' - which I now see gives the option of midi ccs. However I notice there's no ability to use the smoother drawing tool that interpolates. Seems like you can only use the tool that sends single cc values - therefore it produces quite jumpy midi ccs automation. Unless I'm doing something wrong again.
Yes, just change the quantization to a lower value and you will be able to get a lot more satisfying results
.
So you're still going to use gadget as your main daw ?
Truthfully if getting click free audio from gadget were possible/easy i wouldn't even be roaming.
Well, the Audio Export is Amazing..... Wish I could figure out the MIDI Export thing....
I'm pretty happy with BM3 so far. It definitely makes it so I'm only buying AUv3 fx and synth apps from here on in, cuz the AU automation is so easy and enjoyable.
It's a hair confusing at start for sure and the sneaky menu where play/stop song is shitty UX when starting a new pattern , but all in all muy bueno.
@mathieugarcia I just want one thing and that is for the scene mode to be more clip launcher style, and to be able to record audio clips into it and launch them at will, basically using BM3 as a hybrid looper/sampler. Currently scene mode is a little disappointing but I look forward to further evolutions.
I concur
And jeezus
I know I'm opening myself up to "Hey f*** you, they had a long time to get this right!" & "$20 bucks is $20 bucks! Should get what we pay for!", etc... but here goes...
Maybe it's some sort of "version 3 curse" but BeatMaker 3 joins Gadget 3 and AudioBus 3 as apps that had extremely high expectations, multiple forum/multiple thread "can't wait" hype and then severe first blush criticism.
For a complete overhaul of their flagship app I think Intua have released a superb platform for music production. It's not perfect, there are flaws & shortcomings, but just a few days in condemning BM3 as a failure and a big bag of moose caca is ridiculous.
My main gripe from my first impressions I posted to the "BM3 live" thread was the absence of a good thorough manual. But going over their websites online guides I found a pretty well written online manual, just had to actually go through it. Just because I prefer a pdf manual doesn't mean Intua failed, just means they've gone another route.
Applying that logic to a great deal of these premature criticisms & wholesale write off's is how I'm preferring to see BM3's early days. In many respects Intua is trying something different & I'll wait for some dust to settle (some updates, etc) before I bury it.
I suspect you have plenty of company. A good foundation to work from here though. Nobody else is getting close to the midi and audio clip view with stretching and link. Although I hold out hope that @Michael nails it in Loopy pro, based on recent teaser videos. Until then, BM3 is our only hope.
Yes I know what you mean. I can't see what advantage bm3 has over gadget other than the audio part and a better sampler than Bilbao which you can kinda work around.
Ima give some love for the playability of BM3s 16 pads . I'm getting the smoothest ride out of these pads on iOS and really appreciate how responsive they are for both beats and melodic material. Stoked to snag up a Beatstep Reg for sure but these pads make glass tappin kinda fun
Really good point here. Beathawk is no slouch either but these pads are as expressive as glass gets I reckon.
I have read all the online manuals and I still have no clue what's going on in the scenes section. It seems like scenes is completely independent to song mode. You either choose to work with one or the other? I initially thought they were both related and whatever you changed in one was reflected in the other but seems not. Also I don't get the point of scenes then? Is it just for live performance where you trigger each scene ? And the daw aspect of bm3 where you create an Actual linear song is the song mode? I thought scenes was like in maschine but seems not?
So...
Got a little timeline based thing going with Poison AU and Animoog. Both automated. Sent into an Aux FX instance of Zero Reverb. Just to test things.
No crashes.
Did some recording of both tracks using the excellent 'export to audio' feature - which is one of the things I like most.
Minor niggles were:
Working with AUs I think BM3 might be a real winner. I noticed the 'show AU knobs' button which resolves the issue of Poisons own interface not showing the knobs move on playback of an automated sequence.
I also think it will be possible to have repeating patterns of midi notes but use 'track automation' to vary synth parameters (in AU synths) across those repeating pattern blocks, over the length of the track.
Working with simple blocks of audio in an audio track also seemed to work nicely.
In a way it's nothing that BM2 (or MultiTrackStudio) couldn't have probably done, minus the full AU support - but it all now feels a little cleaner and more stable. Plus the AU features really add value.
Hope this is helpful for people interested in using it as more of a 'normal' DAW.
@Carnbot
Thanks for the response. For some reason, I can't even get it to show up as an option under audio input selection. I suppose We will have to make do with the pad sample recording until it's fixed!
Could Audio Tracks be routed to a bus track
Haha, I know eh? If this picks up we may have to change the name of the forum and learn the Intua national anthem.
Congrats on a very fine release Intua. looks pretty darn good so far. Longtime in the making but it"s there.
Maybe it's time to expand the forum to something like KVR... where different developers/companies host their own 'sub-forum'...
It does seem like this place has become a public beta forum for BM3. Been getting timeouts from cloud flare over the past couple of days so must be using a lot of their resources.
