Beatmaker 3 update submitted here's what's updated.

I'm assuming it's a project wide fine tune parameter.

Back to the topic, nobody has really discussed the addition of a master session tuning function, but that's a huge thing for me! Totally unexpected too!

I saw the feature but to be honest I'm not exactly sure what I meant?

It might mean scale locked piano rolls. Which would be absolutely fantastic.

Double keyboard and direct keyboard access from the piano roll will be great.

I think double keyboard is only for BM3 keyboard sampler not AU/AB/IAA.

I was told it worked on any pad ?

I can’t see why it wouldn’t!

Me either but as you can see in this screenshot from 3.0.3 (7) beta, the official build submitted to Apple, there is no option for double keyboard while using an AU, same with IAA Instruments.

Why wouldn't you want that we need tone deaf producers making non tone deaf music you know

Haha, I'd rather be able to quickly shift an entire project to the pitch of 'non standardly tuned fixed pitch' ethnic instruments! And then if I could pitch it back down (including the tracked instruments) .. oooh I can dream!

Plus, some great and revolutionary shit got made by people who didn't know which the 'right' notes were! Training wheels off!! (I don't really mind the idea of scale locked stuff to be honest, to each their own)

Nice to see copy/paste added to the pattern editor, I hope at some point we can get copy/paste in the song editor, speaking of pattern editor, I hope soon we'll be able to start playing from where ever the cursor is and not have to play from the beginning. No complaints here though, I thinks its coming along nicely, it's barely 2 months since the release date of BM3 and were already about to get a third update, before the last update people were complaining about it only having 8 banks and now we have 128, lol, I think were in good shape thus far, as long as the next update doesnt crash Im happy, Ive been busting my ass making drum kits and instrument banks.

Now what I REALLY want to see is whats going to happen with BM3 and IOS11, in particular being able to send audio and midi in and out via lighting cable to my MacBook pro, if we could use Kontakt and Massive in BM3's sequencer via lightning cable that would be amazing.

Copy n paste in song mode = drag either the pattern or the audio clip you wish to copy from the pattern drop down menu and place / paste wherever you want. Slightly different workflow but just as easy / fast.

You know what makes me feel better? I bought it for $20. Seriously, even if they never got around to some of the oft-requested features (even those in the pre-release betas), do I think BM3 is worth $20? HELL YES.

The fact that they probably will get around to a chunk of what I'd like to see is just icing on the cake. We live in amazing times... Teleport this app back to 20-year-old me and I'd swear that it was magic.

Exactly

@tja You're voicing your opinion very loudly here, but your assumptions are incorrect. While it does take some adjustment, MIDI is actually very deep in BM3. While I've had to take time to become familiar with its 'logic', I've not yet found anything that I can't accomplish or at least work around until the many confirmed fixes are implemented. I use very complicated performance configs with lots of audio and MIDI sends and returns.

Being loud, angry and negative is detrimental to both the community in general and Intuas business interests (which are also our interests, if we want BM3 to grow and flourish!). I would also like more AB integration and there are other features I'm waiting eagerly for. I'm sure they'll come with time! (pre/post sends in 3.0.4 - woohoo!)

Let's be positive and support the development of of the app, rather than spreading negativity and misleading blanket statements. This is a fantastic update! BM3 is a fantastic piece of software. It's revolutionised how I work and what I can do with my tools, I use it every single day and each day I discover new and deeper functionality and possibility!

I do that now, but Id rather just be able to select several tracks in song mode and copy/paste, vs dragging a pattern at a time. Its definitely not as fast and easy if I have to drag 16 patterns to the song every time I want something copied, lol.

I guess I've just become used to this workflow that I've become fast. But you're talking about copying blocks of audio from several tracks ? Can you not select section then duplicate and drag ? (I agree copy n paste in this instance is preferable, I found that to be annoying so feature requested it )

So, how would they fit two rows of keyboard AND the AU panel on the screen?

Samplemunch

Sorry, that is just an English saying "That's a shame" kind of means "Oh well, would have been nice"
I have no idea at all how it would work, I am not clever enough to design software.

firejan82

I would welcome a double keyboard mode for AUs. The AU interface could be hidden like it is when in the pad view. Then when you need it you switch the double keyboard off to reveal the AU interface. Not on the top of my BM3 feature wishlist but it would make more sense than making it exclusive to BM3 instruments.

+1and for the IAA Instrument plugins too.
I'd also like to have the Scales/Chords function for the AU/IAA Instrument keyboard view.

Does make it easier to write modal, or synthetic scale stuff.

(I agree copy n paste in this instance is preferable, I found that to be annoying so feature requested it )

The thing is, if I duplicate, it will duplicate to space behind where the pattern I want to duplicate, so if there's music behind it , it will go directly behind it, so Id have to select every thing first, move it so there a blank space, duplicate, then drag everything I duplicated, then drag everything I moved so I can have a blank space, back to its original space, including the duplicated pattern, lol. Another way is making a scene with the patterns I want copied, then choosing pattern to song, so at the end of the day, Id really just rather have copy/paste in song mode tbh. If I could duplicate a pattern and it landed where ever the play head was, that would be cool too.

Yeah makes sense. It is a pain you're right. Because I've been building my songs from scenes though I've found there's been v few instances I've needed that copy n paste work flow, so I guess it hasn't bothered me much nowadays, than it did at the start when I didn't use scenes. Hopefully they'll implement it though

In iOS11, I’m no longer able to import from within BM3 (probably something related to the new Files UI?). I have to copy the file to BM3 from within its location. Does anybody else get this?

SpookyZoo

@OscarSouth POSTING THIS QUESTION HERE RATHER THAN THE N (oops, Caps lock, too lazy to re-type) NanoStudio thread.

So I gave BM3 20 minutes tonight for a quick look around.

One thing I can't understand is if I load a session, and play the song in timeline, then I try playing in scene mode, when I switch back to Song mode, the track colours are faded and muted.

What's going on there?

Cheers in advance.

Still having a hard time believing I paid only $20 for this amazing app. My Digitakt, which I got rid of, cost me 35 times what this app costs and it still didn't do some of the things BM does like slicing, allowing for soloing tracks, and so on. It didn't have all the effects BM does and of course BM3 is much more visual thanks to the iPad screen. To see all these rapid updates for a $20 app is impressive.

From AudioShare or elsewhere? I have a bunch of apps unable to import from AudioShare.
