    I'm almost off the fence - I thought it might be a nice way to chop up and arrange Komplete content, then send it back again in loops and blocks for further desktop tinkering. The issues I've seen reported seem to be more 'bugs' than functionality related, so should hopefully be an easy fix.

    Hopefully so, and that it enhances your workflow.

    I think (hope) it will....

    I love recording some of the more wacky ensembles directly in Reaktor, so I'm thinking that as well as boring stuff like Kontact drum samples, these can be chopped and sequenced in BM3. This should unchain me from the desktop and provide a quicker way of creating interesting loops and blocks than desktop alternatives.

    Also it provides a bridge between the two platforms, so I can sample favourite app combos such as iVCS3 and Turnado for use in Ableton - after all I've spent more on iOS music apps than I have on Komplete and Logic put together, so I don't want to waste all that investment.

    All of the above could turn out to be the ravings of a daydreaming fool though, if the app turns out to be a crashfest.

    But you can easily 'trim' each slice if needed, just tap 'trim'...
    (for 16 slices it's like a few seconds, select a pad with one finger and keep another finger on the trim button).

    Then browse to the session folder, select all files and hit export to save them as a zip file problem solved...

    I was building some kits yesterday in audiobus routed into BM3 with imaschine, iMini, emo chorus and turnado. Shit got pretty crazy! Pretty pumped to build more kits later.

    I also am in a situation where I have Komplete, Ableton, Max, Studio One etc. While I learnt BM3 inside out rather quickly, I'm struggling a lot more to see where it would fit into my workflow. The sampler is fun to play around with (even though it's lacking in the slicing department, but ReSlice is great for that) and especially the modulations, and also the macros are a really nice touch. Song/Scene mode, not so much IMO. What you said, was a very good idea, i.e., to build up small blocks and use them to arrange either on desktop or in Cubasis or Auria.

    Aha. Yes. I use automatic slicing or warping in mainly Studio One and obviously go through it manually. Not sure about other DAWs but being able to transient detect and warp and preserve phase differences in drum tracks from a drum kit with reference tracks is neat. As for ReSlice, it's a time saver and also being able to save all the slices as separate files. Very nice and convenient zooming in ReSlice as well.

    TALES OF BM3 - by The Gus of Audio

    I used BM3 for two hours yesterday laying on the couch with not a single crash or significant bug aside from a very minor window not recalling it's zoom settings.

    It was a fantasticly productive time where I tapped in a nice little drumbeat then tinkered with each pad, adding layers, muting and unmuting layers, filtering etc, just toggeling/honing the sound was painless and unlike anything I have done before. So much better than just scrolling through lists of more or less canned hits.

    Then I hopped over to Blocs, nicely synced/timestretching and I jumped through some older Circuit recordings from the past few months. I found six long notes of a synth pad I liked about eight bars long. I exported it to BM3 then sliced it to pads. Had to spend some time tinkering the ahdsr. Took a little longer than i would like but i forged on...

    Back to blocs I found another circuit recording, this time a recording of several minutes, more or less just two notes played over and over with mutating parameters in realtime. Call it realtime timbre exploration. I sent it to BM3.

    Chopping up the sound file and sending it to pads was easy but I won't lie to you. It took quite a while to set all of these faders and fall off's in the AHDSR, but I persevered and finally did it... Then it occurred to me there must be a better way to do this. What I decided to do was take one of the pads, copy it to a new empty bank, set the settings properly on the first pad and then re-slice the whole thing to the 64 pads. Eureka! It worked. The settings of the first pad before slicing are inherited by all of the new slices. Happy Dance! In celebration I plunked in a charming little ditty using these mutating Circuit note timbres, ready for tomorrows adventures in filter and fx modulation.

    I slept good last night knowing that I am done chasing the iOS Dragon, it is curled up at my feet and absolutely adorable.

    Wow, you remind me that I forgot to test ReSlice as a BM2 replacement for choping slices to separated files... I forgot because I thought BM3 would at least provide the same functionalities as BM2, but now that I realise that I was wrong...

    An option to trim and save slices to a zip archive is as far as I know among the feature to be implemented.

    I've lately had like 0 crashes on my Air 2, iOS10.3.2. Maybe I'm doing something 'wrong'?!?!

    All crash-logs are collected unless you've not manually disabled it on your iPad...
    ...so they reach the developers in due time :)

    The point about investments in iOS noisemakers (Turnado is a great example) is exactly why I invested in BM3. FWIW, I use it primarily as a sampler with pretty simple sequencing (for export) and I've not had a single crash.

    I still don't get why it's crashing for you. Not had a single crash so far in almost 20+ hrs on my air2. Then again I'm exclusively using the sampler and just a single instance of any Au. Haven't touched IAA yet. Are any of the projects that crash for you feature Iaa apps ?

    Good point - I've never thought of using Reslice that way, but yes you can export slices in it. You don't have as much control over them as with BM3 though, as Reslice doesn't retain envelope or pitch changes (I'm assuming BM3 does this), plus you then have to import them into a separate app for sequencing. BM3 makes assigning and triggering samples easy (by the looks of things), and you have additional pitch, envelope, fx etc. control.

    As I said in another thread I can probably achieve a similar result using a combination of other apps, but it'd be a slower and more laborious task.

    Until I get hold of a copy I'm making a lot of assumptions based on a few vids and forum feedback, but it looks like a useful, nifty app for the old toolbox.

    Thanks for the info Gus, sounds very much like what I'd be doing with it.

    I'm going to relish a bit of post-squatting for a few more hours, comforted by the warm twenty pound note in my pocket, but I can see a dive into the BM3 universe before the day is done.

    Can't argue about the crashing issue. Safest way to go at this point is to continuously be exporting patterns as audio before attempting any arrangements.

    Why are AUM and BM3 being compared? They're not even in the same category of apps. One is a sampler/sequencer/DAW the other is a clever signal and MIDI mixer/router/recorder/swiss-army-knife. Nothing is making anything obsolete here because there is barely any overlap between the two.

    Yeah, not sure why this is happening. Cubasis or Auria has never been compared to AUM. In theory there's a large overlap in functions but they do vary vastly in use.

    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??)

    excellent idea.. to be honest the digitakt has made music making a fun exploration lately, i have been waiting for BM3 eagerly for at least a year now but tonight I was back on my digitakt jamming away. interesting stuff just pours out of that little box, i really love it.

    I've heard a lot of great things about digitakt. May I ask what does it do that trumps apps like dm2 or patterning ?

    I lost will to live when I saw the guy naming the session. Not for me. These things should have speech to text in this day and age.

    I had my second play with BM3 on my aging, decrepit, ipad 4 (ios 9.3.1) last night - messed around for about an hour or so with no issues at all. I am still impressed with how well it runs on my ipad. Had 8-9 loops going that were loaded into sample pads, all with 2-3 effects on them - plus 2-3 of the internal BM instruments that came with free pack sequenced, and an iSem AU instance loaded and running a simple sequence with a cutoff automation recorded. The CPU meter was running around 50% when I checked.

    Also things started to click with me in regards to moving around the interface, and the whole patterns/banks/scenes stuff. Overall I'm quite liking BM3 and things can only get better so I can't wait for things to progress.

    Is there a way to save slices to files as the was in BM2...? This was a major feature for me as this allowed me to then send the slices to Bilbao in Gadget.

    Hey does that mean you're going to continue using Bilbao even though bm3 is much more feature rich? May I ask what your preferred workflow is as I have also been using gadget and am still figuring out the best workflow scenario between them both and cubasis or auria

    Currently, BM3 is too complicated and unstable (I have regular crashes that I never have with Gadget) to use it as a sampler and had audio tracks to complete (e.g. I'd like to record from gadget in audio tracks and then build loops from these audio tracks but the workflow is not natural and I have many crashes when using audio tracks)... So, at least until it is updated and more stable, I would like to be able to use BM3 as a modern BM2 in which I chop my loops to individual slice files to feed gadget in which I can easily build full tracks based on these slices and other instruments...

    Dotted button beside the sample name. You can specify where to save it. Alternatively you can save the whole bank and copy the samples to a new folder.

    Ha ha, I know that already... This does not permit to save slices to different files apparently.

    Is there a way to save slices to files as the was in BM2...? This was a major feature for me as this allowed me to then send the slices to Bilbao in Gadget.

    If others didn't already know this:

    1. Save slices to pads in a bank.
    2. Select pad in bank.
    3. Enter edit slice mode (wave)
    4. .Select a slice and save as an Apple loop.
    5. Repeat step 4. for the remaining loops.

    The slices will then be saved as separate aif files in the same directory as the original file from which they were sliced.

    Anyway to save midi patterns on their own, issue I'm having is that if I change a bank to another bank I lose the midi notes

    Also it provides a bridge between the two platforms, so I can sample favourite app combos such as iVCS3 and Turnado for use in Ableton - after all I've spent more on iOS music apps than I have on Komplete and Logic put together, so I don't want to waste all that investment.

    All of the above could turn out to be the ravings of a daydreaming fool though, if the app turns out to be a crashfest.

    The point about investments in iOS noisemakers (Turnado is a great example) is exactly why I invested in BM3. FWIW, I use it primarily as a sampler with pretty simple sequencing (for export) and I've not had a single crash.

    Yeah that's how I'll use it, so good to hear it's stable.

    I just had a go at chopping samples in Live, and it's not going to be any easier than using BM3 for the job. Plus it's more time in front of the PC.

    So I'll be using BM3 for my desktop sample chopping and sequencing too.

    BM3 is a little fiddly with the chopping--I'm still getting the hang of that part of it. I'm guessing it will get more fluid with time.

    My major crashes have happened when arranging and repitching audio samples on an audio track. Whole thing freezes. When you restart the app and open the auto save everything in the session is gone. And I mean everything. I think the midi data wa s the only thing remaining. No way of restoring. Very apprehensive about starting anything serious on it.

    Things are getting serious when you arrange work holidays around a new app launch but that's what I did with BM3. So I've just spent a rewarding few days mastering this and it is so powerful. I am running iPad Air 2 iOS 10.3.1 and a few glitches along the way but nothing too painful. In terms of sampling I can't think of another app so feature rich. Back in the day BM2 was up there with the best for iOS music and now we have other stronger contenders but BM3 is awesome even at first release.

    But you can easily 'trim' each slice if needed, just tap 'trim'...
    (for 16 slices it's like a few seconds, select a pad with one finger and keep another finger on the trim button).

    Then browse to the session folder, select all files and hit export to save them as a zip file problem solved...

    Have to try, thanks Samu... It does not seem easier (even more complicated than in BM2), but at least it is a solution to benefits from the other improvements of BM3 fit choping...

    PS : for those blinded fans who call troll anyone who criticize the app... Don't count me in please, I love the concept of BM from first version, and 'm testing/trying to use BM3 since release on saturday evening here until now with almost no pressure except to eat, piss or sleep a bit... And right now I would be simply lying if I said that the current version of the app can be used easily in my workflow... Mostly because it crashes completely too often and does not provide satisfying auto saves (I lose everything most of the time on case of crash)...

    Out of curiosity what device are you running?

    IPad Air2, latest iOS version, never had any issue with Gadget or Cubasis...
    I may have experienced more crashes than others also because I already spent more than 25 hours on the app since Saturday night... I'm kind of addicted...
    I also had two times where a layer or audio track would play two times faster then expected (or showed in the sequencer) suddenly... And trying to fix lead to fill crashes both times.
    Instability is something that I really hate with music apps as I like my sounds to be solid and reliable... That's why I complain do much about the crashes...

    What iPad are you using? Quite a few are reporting crashes on here.

    I'm a bit surprised with the pricing - £20 as a 'special' intro price makes me wonder what the full price will go to. It's obviously had a complete update, but this was the highest price for BM2, and it's £9.99 at the mo. iMPC Pro is £12.99, so £30 for BM3, or even £40 as some have mentioned seems a bit hefty.

    I'm almost off the fence - I thought it might be a nice way to chop up and arrange Komplete content, then send it back again in loops and blocks for further desktop tinkering. The issues I've seen reported seem to be more 'bugs' than functionality related, so should hopefully be an easy fix.

    Hopefully so, and that it enhances your workflow.

    I think (hope) it will....

    I love recording some of the more wacky ensembles directly in Reaktor, so I'm thinking that as well as boring stuff like Kontact drum samples, these can be chopped and sequenced in BM3. This should unchain me from the desktop and provide a quicker way of creating interesting loops and blocks than desktop alternatives.

    Also it provides a bridge between the two platforms, so I can sample favourite app combos such as iVCS3 and Turnado for use in Ableton - after all I've spent more on iOS music apps than I have on Komplete and Logic put together, so I don't want to waste all that investment.

    TALES OF BM3 - by The Gus of Audio

    I used BM3 for two hours yesterday laying on the couch with not a single crash or significant bug aside from a very minor window not recalling it's zoom settings.

    It was a fantasticly productive time where I tapped in a nice little drumbeat then tinkered with each pad, adding layers, muting and unmuting layers, filtering etc, just toggeling/honing the sound was painless and unlike anything I have done before. So much better than just scrolling through lists of more or less canned hits.

    Then I hopped over to Blocs, nicely synced/timestretching and I jumped through some older Circuit recordings from the past few months. I found six long notes of a synth pad I liked about eight bars long. I exported it to BM3 then sliced it to pads. Had to spend some time tinkering the ahdsr. Took a little longer than i would like but i forged on...

    Back to blocs I found another circuit recording, this time a recording of several minutes, more or less just two notes played over and over with mutating parameters in realtime. Call it realtime timbre exploration. I sent it to BM3.

    Chopping up the sound file and sending it to pads was easy but I won't lie to you. It took quite a while to set all of these faders and fall off's in the AHDSR, but I persevered and finally did it... Then it occurred to me there must be a better way to do this. What I decided to do was take one of the pads, copy it to a new empty bank, set the settings properly on the first pad and then re-slice the whole thing to the 64 pads. Eureka! It worked. The settings of the first pad before slicing are inherited by all of the new slices. Happy Dance! In celebration I plunked in a charming little ditty using these mutating Circuit note timbres, ready for tomorrows adventures in filter and fx modulation.

    I slept good last night knowing that I am done chasing the iOS Dragon, it is curled up at my feet and absolutely adorable.

    Cheers ... must be a satisfying feeling... and there are updates, IOS 11 to come...
