Beatmaker2 that's 2 has/had a great midi recording feature that allows editing. I assuming BM3 has the same.
I use modstep. You can slow down each segment by 4 to effectively record 64 bars. Just use the speed 1/4x. Disable quantise and you're sorted. I think 64bars is enough don't you ?
There are a lot of midi fixes coming in next update that should be out very soon. Currently, a lot of people have midi working normally, some cant send midi out, and some like me, cant get midi input to work.
I think bm3 is definitely the way to go. Definitely worth all the hype(i have abandoned everything but bm3 and au's, and not looking back), but as mentioned, some people still experience some baby bugs
Really wish Gadget would just automatically add additional scenes of the same length while recording. The fact that you have to map out a predetermined recording time by duplicating scenes is ridiculous.
Why not just compose via multiple scenes. I can't imagine that you are going to have unique notes playing for an hour. Music is about repetition, change, and arrangement. Just because you can't lay down an hour of Midi in a timeline is no reason not to compose.
So much can be done with so little.
Learn to compose based on constraints otherwise you will never make music.
Just my humble opinion as a novice to all of this.
Honestly I think you could do an hour ambient track in modstep easily. If you are using AU synths it would be easy.
However if you are stuck on the notion of needing to compose an hour of Midi just use Cubasis, Auria Pro, GarageBand or Beatmaker which give you access to a traditional timeline.
Rememebr, music is just like life. There are no limits...just excuses.
Yeah I hear ya. And I do compose with scenes. And it's fine and music gets made whether it be Gadget or elsewhere (mostly elsewhere). I just think it would be rather fun and liberating to press record and if, during recording my 8 bars or whatever, I happen to be overcome with passion and groove and want to play a follow up phrase of 8 or more bars on the spot, I don't have to think to myself "shit I only made 1 8 bar scene" and stop the music. Or maybe I just want to jam for a solid minute and keep the scenes with the good stuff only. That sounds like fun. So it's not going to cripple my ability to make music, but boy it sure would be nice and handy know what I mean?
Sure I get you. But that's just a workflow problem and there are solutions for it out there.
I would love to do full animation in Photoshop...but I can't. So I use After Effects to animate.
Don't let tools be your limitation. There are tools to resolve the friction.
For your scenario I'd just use GarageBand and then pick out the Midi I found interesting to compose from...and finish there or elsewhere.
My grandfather always told me that, "...it was a poor craftsman who complained about his tools."
Also think about it from the perspective of constraints being a good thing. It forces you to become creative and deliberate at times.
@tja I have had great success with the lite version of Ableton Live. Its super easy to record in midi and export the midi clips. If you want to get a computer involved. Great fun to be had putting Xynthesizr playing random midi notes, then chopping out the sections I like for later use.
Love it
Hi @tja
You can use an app like KRFT as a sequencer, or the sequencer apps like Genome, Modstep, Infinite Looper to steam multiple midi channels at multiple channels in Audio Evolution, Cubasis and bypass AB3 midi, using core midi. Host the instruments in seperate midi channels in the DAWs and send midi to each channel from your sequencer...if the device bogs down with all the seperate instrument apps, both DAWs have useful onboard instruments for sketching that are far less CPU hungry...
But can BM3 'export' midi.. ? That is the question...
Happy composing and jamming
Has anyone used this app?

It looks promising - but it does not seem to have any reviews in the App Store.
Did you manage to do this in Modstep now with the Loop numbers predifined?
I don't own this app but I'm sure I've seen a few peeps here praise it.
Easy to integrate with AudioBus 3?
I am new to this AB3 stuff - having a lot of fun playing with Korg PlugKey, Korg Module, Korg iM1. I set up a Keyboard to send MIDI out to PlugKey/Audiobus ,Korg Module/iM1) and I reconfigured the Keyboard Midi Thru port to send out to Logic Pro on a Mac to record the Midi. But I really love just powering up the iPad sitting on my Keyboard and messing around without have to boot the Mac and go in and muck with Logic.
Of course, I'd probably want an "out" to export MIDI eventually into Logic Pro from whatever MIDI app on the iPad I use - for doing a final touch-up or swapping different instruments in and out or changing effects, etc.
Klimper for composition.

Both do midi file out.
One tip if using AEM - if your midi data has Channel info, you can use a single recording, then quickly split it out into separate tracks based on its Channels. Much easier and lighter than using multiple channels etc
