loving these update. especially the keyboard thing.
how soon till an iphone version is released of this?

iPhone? I am still struggling with the iPad version... Hoping that these updated will make things better..

What are the chances that BM3 one day adds Digitakt features like conditional trigs/probability? That's the only thing that my Digitakt offers over BM3 that are worthwhile to me.

Do any apps have those?

MIDI works perfectly for me, I just also want the option to trigger pads from note numbers rather than one channel per pad. Would make my setup more versatile.

Well lo and behold! it seems there is a simple solution after-all.

You just need to go to the midi settings and map channel/note to "Trigger Pad ..." for each of the pads. With Auto-Learn this takes seconds. I tested by setting up on channel 16 and playing 16 white keys until I had all the pads mapped. There are also actions for selecting banks, etc, that can be mapped. As long as you have an exclusive input and midi channel there's no problem with this. The only gotcha is if you play unmapped notes it'll play pitched notes on the selected pad. But that's easily avoided, and could be considered a feature as well.

You mean focus actions? They don't work for the kind of instruments I'm making unfortunately. I tried that method but only the active bank receives control input signals (sus, mod wheel etc.). While you could (probably) get around that by adding another layer of midi mapping to the bank/pads, you can still only control the active bank, while I'm going to need 3-4 banks firing off from various MIDI controllers, in performance.

I've ended up (with some insight from @5pinlink) mapping one 'choke group' per pad and setting it to monophonic, then assigning them pads by setting the note numbers on my controller. 16 notes, 4 channel. Not as bad!

Could probably be done inside one pad and one channel too, using layers. I'll have to set it up both ways and decide which is preferable (both have pros and cons that I can see in theory).

Ahh. I was only talking about triggering pads. @5pinlink knows his shit, so I will assume that's all correct and not look at it further.

Probably better asked on the Intua forum...

That's cool, but what about the auto transient detection that was advertised in the lead-up to the initial release?

Yeah i'm also anxiously awaiting for that feature to be restored. I even saw it it listed in the 3.01 .pdf manual and thought it would surely be included in ver. 3.02. The developers reply was:

"detect needs more refinement before we put it back, right now it is disabled since it did not pass our testsuite!"

Hopefully it will be included in ver. 3.03.

I picked up iMPC Pro in the sale partly for the transient detection (as well as generally getting to know its chops). Will be great when BM3 gets it too.

The first betas had it, but it was a little wonky. It will come back for sure.
I don't use it anyways... because it's either to sensible, either too loose. So you end up tweaking the start/end points anyway...

So I prefer doing a rough cut while zoomed out, and then go slice by slice and tweak it.
What I asked for and hopefully it will come soon is LINKED SLICES... so when you tweak the end of a slice it will adjust the start of the next.

I'll take both, please!

Egoist and Reslice give us passable auto detection and easily manipulated slice points. BM3 gives us neither.

The slice points in the new BM3 beta are AWESOME!
They're bigger and more "grabbable" and they've added Link slices toggles. So if you're a fan of neatly sliced samples like me you'll love it!

I use the layers for this. It took me a little bit to get used to the flow, but once I got going, not too bad.

Yes! Glad to hear it... because I am a fan of neatly sliced samples.

Looks good! Hopefully recording scenes to song mode will be in an update in the near future.

Yeah, layers'd work, although in the end I went for 4 pads, as I didn't need THAT many channels and it gave me a few visual and practical advantages, arrangement wise.
