    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.

    figured as much, I don't even like to mention Loopy pro as I don't wanna jinx it :D

    Hey everyone!

    After half a day, I really like the general feel of it, cheers for superb work and also for showing up for comments, that's very admirable.

    One immediate thing is pre/post switch for Aux channels. Something that can be worked around, yup, but I think it's pretty essential on DAWs and surprisingly few DAW-y apps with mixer functions have this.

    Also I'd love to see an option to randomize the order of the slices (like a "lite" version of SECTOR) when slicing up a samples. And same with a randomizer function for midi notes. Mostly thinking in terms of having an inspirational work flow.

    As @gonekrazy3000 said, seems highly fun and very effective as it is!

    This is achievable:

    1. Slice your sample to pads
    2. Randomly pitch shift/reverse sample chops
    3. Make several sequences hitting pads in random order, chain the sequences
    4. Export it
    5. Chop it to pads
    6. Rinse repeat

    I imagine you're being sarcastic, but just to be sure, I meant a "Randomize slice order" and/or "Randomize slice pitches" option in Audio Editor -> Process, just to have a speedy way to go bananas with a sample.

    So yes, what you described creates the same results, but in that vein, why use orchestral hits when you can hire a full orchestra, a recordist, concert hall, recording equipment, and record a few nice chords?

    edit: by no means was this a complaint about a feature that is lacking, just a personal suggestion, nothing more serious.

    As a matter of fact the randomise feature rarely produces an interesting result. Sector is cool but I've never found producing with it very enjoyable. Sounds cold and mechanical and chaotic. As a sound effect in a soundtrack it could work and as an effect in a live set up it might hold some temporary value but humans are very good at interpreting patterns and computer generated patterns come off as such and therefore listener interest will not be there. You'll get a much better result mangling your own chops because it will have your signature all over it. The work you put in to getting the right sound, even if you just randomly punch it in, will materialise itself in a better finished product in the end. Trust me... I've tried it.

    "as a matter of fact"...surely you agree this is a matter of taste? A few years ago i wouldve been there with you, but lately ive learnt to embrace randomizing features. They make the process faster, and produce results i was not expecting. i dont fully subscribe to the idea of signature either, quite the opposite: the reason ive switched to ios is to play with apps that erase my illusions of a fully personal touch and helps me make music that accepts its debt and references to other makers, tools, presets, and samples. Again, a matter of taste...Also, after being disappointed at first, i found Sector thrilling, and am using it now with BM3, the latter triggering the former.

  • So, I went and got the piano IAP, on the strength of the free Summer Keys samples. It sounds awful. Everything is out of tune - the keys, the scales, the chords. Sounds like they sampled a piano prepared by John Cage.

    I could probably use it if I were making an experimental track exploring dissonance, but other than that, it is money wasted.

    I can't believe they charged a premium price for this. Has anyone else got these problems, or am I missing something here?

    Honestly at this point I'd suggest you just sample your own instruments. I'm currently making multisampled instruments from both iOS apps/au and also some of the sample libraries I have and having a blast!

    Same here (and save with the uptight bass IAP)... They sound awful and the bike is way too low to be used with other instruments (even the ones from Intua demo songs)... That's why I asked for a refund on iAPs...

    I don't completly understand what could have happened here... How can you release an app in such a beta / unstable / unfinished state after announcing it for months...

  • Guys, I don't wanna piss of anybody, but this app has all the workflow of Maschine (the desktop version) and some. And it costs 20 bucks and you guys are complaining about the quality of the sampled piano.

    It's a state of the art sampler, you can do whatever the hell you want with it.
    I know they've teased us for a lot of time, but believe me, you don't make an app like this over night. This is not your average "post my selfie on social media" app. So I can imagine why it took them that long.

    So maybe it's time to show a little gratitude and enjoy it as it's the most versatile and powerful app out there. And believe me I've bought almost all of them.

    Don't get me wrong. I love the app. But the release version is a lot more broken than the betas all the testers have. Take for example the midi per pad. The way it's supposed to work is you can override the global bank settings and have each pad have a separate midi port and channel. Currently it completely ignores the settings most of the time and only the selected bank and pad accepts midi input. This completely breaks the app for people that use external sequencers or othe sequencing apps. i have faith it all will be fixed though :) and those beta features. I can't wait for them to get to the release branch. There is some amazing stuff on its way.

    Regarding the IAP considering that each IAP costs 1/4th the price of the app itself it is a bit odd that a lot of it is underwhelming. I'm guessing that if it cost just 1$ people wouldn't care about the mediocre quality. That being said making your own kits is a blast. I'm currently converting some of my f9 audio Grid multisampled instruments into Bm3 kits :D

    Exactly, when I think of the latest beta's feedbacks and videos, I can't help hoping they would have released the latest beta...

    I just wish Linked Slices will come soon :)

    Its not the app, which is great. Its the fact that one of the most expensive IAPs was crap. They shouldnt sell the IAPs if they are broken. And certainly not at a premium price. The description of the IAP was misleading.

    I'm talking about linked slices when you actually slice the sample. At the moment each slice is independent. You can overlap them. And I don't want that.

  • Quite apart from sampling things yourself I am sure everybody has a ton of samples already, and if not, there are tons of free ones out there on t'interweb.

    I have dumped in some selections from various Geist 2 expanders I have on the desktop and am having a blast with them.

    Oki, so In practice when moving the end of a one slice the start of the next slice is moved?
    (Like an option to 'snap slice bounds' so they don't overlap?).

    You know where to send the requests. Straight the to man in charge @mathieugarcia :)

    Can anyone comment on sound packs they've bought . Why a certain pack and your thoughts , thanks

    Woefully poor would be my description. Large is space requirement and extremely small in content.(which should piss me off ),however , the sampler and sample import work so well that I can easily obtain all the samples I need for free!

  • BM3 is running so well on my
    Mini 4, I'm gonna stave off buying the 10.5 pro until the next release cycle (and buy a Digitakt instead, @kobamoto u still getting one??)

    Maschine is cutdown in terms of features because it is designed to work with hardware, and it has the most complaints by its own customers of any software that ever existed, so neither is the workflow similar (one is touchscreen, the other hardware) or even the feature set really, if anything BM3 is a little more advanced, yes they have copied a bunch of features from Maschine (funnily enough the ones nobody wants/uses) but the sampler for example is way more advanced in BM3 (ok doesnt sound as good right now, listed in bug thread)

    What is happening is the very nature of hyped consumerism, go back and read what i said when the hype generating nonsense was going on, the way this was released was always a huge huge mistake, if you hype people up like Intua did, you better have a perfect app out the gate, they didn't and it is biting them in the ass because they got people too excited.
    Some are being over the top yes, but so was the hype before release.

    This is now a public beta, report the bugs concisely in the bug thread, let Intua do their job (i would suggest quickly as possible) as for the features that are just ridiculous (scenes/8 track limit/no direct MIDI tracks/totally **** performance mode) add to the discussion.

    I agree all the hype and long wait didn't help. Intua should have kept it quiet and maybe a few weeks before release say something. I think it was rushed because of all the delays they had. Same issue with mpc live and mpc 2.0. Shit was hyped so much people were saying it's gonna kill the mpc live and maschine. My opinion is this is far from the truth. I don't even see it as close to maschine. Yes they have some similarities as so does lots of software these days. After a few crashes and the lack of IAP I went to make some music in iMPC pro because their at least I know what to expect and they've fixed and still fixing some bugs. Don't get me wrong BM3 is a good app and has a lot of potential but let's call it what it is, hyped and lacking.

    I'm talking about linked slices when you actually slice the sample. At the moment each slice is independent. You can overlap them. And I don't want that.

    MPC Pro was no different in this regard. What you have to do is manually trim the samples. When you save your Bank you then copy your trimmed and processed/renamed etc sample into the bank folder. You can then delete the session where the other samples were stored. By doing it this way you get a better bank and you can keep your junk samples under control from massively accumulating.

  • @wim
    Thanks for the help! I'm trying to get it to show up under audio input instead of using it as a plugin for a pad - so that I can quickly record a clip and move it around the sequencer, like you could in BM2. From the sounds of it, this implementation is buggy at the moment.

  • edited July 2017

    Is audio warping in the upcoming features list? That would be awesome.

    BPM detection seems dodgy on occasion, but I'm sure that's really hard to get right. Might be cool to automatically assign the BPM to what's in the file name if it's mentioned there. Then we can make sure our own samples get in correctly.

    Agree about the Mini 4. I find all the other DAW(ish) apps a bit painful to use with my old eyes but BM3 really works a treat.

    Still got a 12.9 on order though because my 2011 17" MBP is dying (sob!).

    Totally agree. Hopefully someone will do a good primer video on sampling (or I should get off my Duff and figure out how to make videos myself) because this sampler is a thing of beauty.

    I definitely lust after dat 10.5 pro but Still curious if they will push it even further
    With RAM and processor, or even angels singing make a mini pro with 4gig ram. And of course that dang ol Digitakt looks so fun

    Sure you can make your own instruments but they don't keep tempo as you pitch high up and down so not completely a fully fledged synth

    Actually they ask for the time sig when doing the BPM detection, if they asked for number of bars/beats it would be impossible for them to not be sample accurate (Of course allowing for sample editing accuracy) BPM detection is very simple equation based on SR/BR/Samples/Beats/Sig

    I've got several results that are off.

    You can turn on live timestretch so they do keep tempo.

    But you can also place different octave samples (or even samples for each individual note if you want to go nuts) as layers and assign each one to a key range. So you can make it as accurate as you like, really. In practice, layering 1 octave at a time with timestretching should work well. I haven't tried out the key range assignments screen yet, so I hope that part of it is intuitive.
