Interesting, and thanks for the info peeps....I don't own either Beathowk or BM3 so cannot mentally compare...how does the workflow compare to say ModStep/Gadget with the scene methodology
In Beathawk you create patterns which you then string together in song mode. The cool thing here is that you can mute/unmute various pads in song mode
BM3 has a scene mode which is similar to Modstep. Of course it also comes with a standard song mode
And is a pattern made up of multiple other patterns (like a scene) ? i.e a drum part, bass part, etc....or do you need to add each individually to the song mode ?
You need to add each individually but the muting of pads means you can record a pattern with 16 pads and reuse it a lot by selecting which pads are used in each instance of the pattern in song mode
Which is part of what makes BH and now BM3 apps that are well worth owning.
Gadget, while also worth owning, seems nailed to a walled garden approach. Gadget could be so much more, except Korg doesn't want to be in that category.
Agree 100%
And since they made BH an au, it's even better
Yeah, that was what made me give it another chance. I'd installed it previously, loved the sounds, but not really got on with the workflow.
An AudioDabbler video helped me to understand what I was not quite getting about the app, then the AU update arrived, so I reinstalled BeatHawk and bought a bunch of sound packs in the recent sale. Happy days.
So is a pad an individual pattern for an individual sound, and then the pattern an arrangement of those pads ?
Yup and each pad has it's own sequencer where you can enter/edit notes
And how well does it work if you are not using it's internal sounds....does it have good midi in/out capability as i am mainly using external gear....can it record midi CC's and NRPN's ?
Now we're out of my comfort zone. While i've brought in a sample or 2, i primarily use the internal sounds since their high quality is part of the lure for me. Either as a standalone composing tool or as an AU in BM3. I haven't used it with midi so hopefully someone else can answer that
You're welcome
Really appreciate your clear and concise explanation of BH's patterns. Im really excited to learn this process better as well as BM3's pattern mode. But what confuses me is song mode. Say I cr and I a song in BH and then I want to use it BH as an AU, will the song be different or same in each instance?
When you load BH as an au, it starts with the default kit and no song so you can load what ever you'd like into each instance i think
I haven't tried that approach though. When i use it as an au it's for the instruments. I use the song mode for composing inside BH
Thanks bro!
So far I really like the sounds in BH a lot and would really love to learn its pattern system as I'm mostly on iPhone but would love to create there then send it to the big momma BM3 or Cubasis.
You're welcome
BH on iphone is brilliant in my opinion and there are plenty of ways to get your sound out to a daw once you're back at your ipad
It is very capable on it's own as well. There is an immediacy about it for me. It's hard to explain what exactly it is, but i find it extremely fast to get going in BH compared to almost anything else
Same here, and goodness knows I've spent enough money trying everything else.
This is why I get along so well with Beathawk's simplistic workflow. And of course when I'm done, I can just bounce out the stems in song mode to import into other DAWs for further mixdown and work.
With so little time this is exactly what I need. Something like KRFT to record what's on my mind fast. Lord knows it goes away fast if not payed down on a sequence quick.
Can you also export the 'bounced' midi instead of audio, for import into cubasis ?
I've never used it but there is an export midi option though i wouldn't get BH for it's midi sequencing abilities to be honest. It's somewhat quirky and there are other apps that are better sequences
Oh yes. "Export MIDI" is right below "Export Multi".
Cheers.
Thanks
No problem mate. Enjoy.
I was gonna give this a go for £9.99 but just before purchase noticed it 1 GB....that's a bit steep space wise for me (16GB Mini 2)
It's worth it though. The sounds are superb! And it's AU!
I deleted it three times because of that. But when they added midi out I thought it worth giving another go since I wanted to see if it would be a good iPhone sequencer. The fourth time it clicked and I actually removed some other stuff so that I could keep it on the phone. Now I use it a lot on both platforms.
The new 2017 iPad (i.e. The "Air 3" as I like to call it) is under $500 here. Probably more expensive in the UK since the pillocks at Apple like to screw the UK over. However, with 128gb of space, you can't go wrong. If it weren't for my extensive samples collection nor the fact I needed more screen real estate to see my sheet music, I'd have gone iPad 2017 myself. Might be time for an upgrade mate.
I bet the new Propellerhead Reason mobile will be brilliant
........ just a thought. It might be a while until it's out- but they are making it. So if you can just hold on.
