just because its 8 banks doesnt not mean its only 8 tracks. each bank can have 64 tracks. each pad is its own track. go to the mixer view hit pad sounds and you get the mixer for the bank

Actually it's 128 tracks

No it isn't
Why are some users perpetually stating this when it simply is not true.
A track would allow you to place content where ever you like on said track without bounds.
A bank in BM3 contains 128 channels of pattern data, these are not tracks, they are pattern data that are bound within one container.
These 128 channels of pattern data also have an audio channel in the mixer.
You then have 8 tracks of banks, and unlimited tracks of audio, and 8 aux tracks.

This is not even arguable, it is how Intua say it is, you know the developers.
So when somebody says there is only 8 pad tracks, THEY ARE CORRECT.
This excuse making for an app that is still day one release and needs no excuses made for it, it is just silly !!!

They have acknowledged it is an issue, and they are working on it, they certainly would not do that if there was over 1000 tracks available as you are claiming.

I come from making beat on my maschine studio so I know how to get multitrack recording in and out. Just because you cant do it ot figure it out doesnt mean it cant be done. When I export all my tracks they are allways tracked out. You can call them lanes highways stems whatever It works I have more than 8 tracks when I export or mix

For Pete's sake. Noone is questioning that there isn't multitracks outs. We're saying that having just 8 lanes/blocks/patterns/whateveryoucallit too restrictive to those of us used to dozens or hundreds of midi layers in a timeline wherein we can just adjust a single layer back and forth in time in a few clicks. As opposed to the ass backwards method of having to edit a pattern to do the same now. At no point did anyone say that exporting doesn't end up with multi audio layers. And yes. I can edit the pattern as I like it to get the output I desire. But it's an unnecessary waste of time.

well that makes sense I get what your saying but I dont need complected midi setups. I get everything done with a midi controller so to your point, it makes sense. I seemed as if the post was about being able to sequence more than 8 tracks so I may have read it wrong

When I discovered the 8 bank limitation and the subsequent “work arounds” I decided to bench BM3 at least for now.

Maybe this why the timeline view was withheld from the public for so long?

I'll speculate it's more likely the developers were not creating an app based upon a traditional timeline based DAW functionality and approach so I suspect their decision to address it in the app came later in development and the disappointment of traditional timeline based DAW users is reflected in this. For people expecting a traditional DAW approach, they're going to be disappointed because this is not the app they're looking for.

Agreed. I did feel somewhat bamboozled but that’s my fault. My gut said the timeline would have issues, but the hype got to me and I pulled ze trigger without proper research

hopefully this helps with FX for anyone not knowing you can FX each pad separately
