In AB3 I did it this way and it works (with Laplace as reciever for sender Quantum in lane 1 and my usb-keyboard as sender for reciever Quantum in lane 2) - don't forget to activate the Midi In button in Quantum, because that's Off by default:
BTW. the sequence keeps playing when you don't play a note...'
Thanks I think I did all of that but I’ll try again when I get the chance, using the nanokey studio if that makes any diff.
I don't think this is possible. Cool idea though: incoming MIDI note-off (or note-on vv0) == stop sequencer. First note-on starts it again. Either globally or per rack, naturally.
YES!!
It would be really great if the sequence had a pause option too.
So you play an arp, let go of the chord and it pauses where you stopped - and resumes when the chord is played again.
So a 64 step seq can be paused and re started as you play - rather than always starting back at zero
@Cib et al
Think this should work for transposing sequences from other sequences.
In this example, Sequence 1 will be transposed by Sequence 2.
To transpose more sequences with SEQ2, just double tap Transpose on that rack and set it to "S2" as well.
Remember that all of the power/fun bits of quantum sequences remain available to both the transpose source and destinations. Per step clock division in particular is handy for doing specific musical timings. Direction is fun for experiments.
In practice, I find that I often set the transposing track to some shorter length based on the progression and have it loop there. With parts and follow actions, its another path to 'Song mode'.
For 'odd' length sequences, this would be the perfect spot to discuss master/slave sequence timing but that's for another day!
Should note that the little button in the lower left of the Transpose window is an interesting one. When it's off, it will allow for free 12-tone transposition. When it's on, it will round incoming transposition to notes within the target's key/scale. Tony++
I just wanna go to sleep for two years, wake up a d go straight to Audiobus Forum and fathom what this unbelievable app will be up to then.
But then you'd miss two years of using it!
My Sunday Quantum Pro Tip
Just because there are 16 steps (or 64!) and 6 sequencers doesn't mean you have to use them. Most of the beautiful sequenced music from the Seventies used 8 or less + live manipulation. I think "I Feel Love" is 4 with ratcheting+transposition.
Fun exercise to illustrate this: set up a single rack with four parts initially set to A:1-4, B:5-8, C:9-12 and D:13-16. Play with the tempos and per step "effects" like ratcheting. Adjust the start/end of each part as dictated by your muse. You can get a lot of music out of just this. Especially with real time transposition. Bonus: you can see all steps at once.
Once something is happening that you want to expand on, use the sequence duplicate or step copy functions to move on to more steps or racks.
This sort of KISS set up also helps with wrapping your simple human brain around the expansive madness that is Tony's brain. (First hand simple human brain experience talking here.)
Would be nice if someone can set up a site where we can share some of these demo files.. Thanks.
Guys I’m really enjoying this app! But I can’t figure out how to shorten the steps lik bibcan with SPA. I know I can mute some bit is there a way to do it?
Double click the number where it says End and choose where to end the step. To get it back again, double click the End number and choose 16. or if you already have the step open (by clicking the grey button under the light) > then select the right square bracket ].
That’s how I do it anyhow.
Lower the gate to shorten steps. I tend to mute a lot of steps and often start with all steps muted first then gradually add notes in so I can pick and choose which steps I want notes on and it's easier to hear what I want the pitches to be. It gets away from the constant barrage of each step playing constantly through the whole sequence.
I figured out how to get tied notes the other day by raising the gate of a step up to 400% and then muting the next step or two after that and the long step will ring over the muted steps. Adjust the gate of the long note so it rings as long as you want it to.
yes minimalism is good just as chords are good for songs.
I tend to start off with 4 or 8 step sequences then copy & paste - thats why I put in the select on faders.
Quantum can be as simple as MidiSequencer too doesn't have to be complex at the start.
keep the song tempo low as well - each sequence can multiply it up to 6 times anyway
A lot of syncopated rhythm can come from audio delays too - it doesn't have to be midi fx. Here is an audio demo I did (if you've not heard it already) using just one sequence, and just 2 different notes in 4 steps, a low 30bpm tempo, model 15's excellent ping pong delay timed to match the sequencer tempo.
Think I came accross an error with F# minor scale.. It says the notes available are ‘F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, E’...
But you cannot set ‘E’ on the grid, ‘E#’ is what you get..
Quick question, can separate parts have different cc's? I'm sure I had this working thee other day, but now I can't figure out what i did? I want to assign a different cc to each part to modulate AU parematers in AUM.
@RajahP, that's the melodic minor scale (with E#).
Ok, but it does say, ‘E’... not ‘E#’.. Thanks..
thx - will fix that (its missed the first update submitted now to Apple - but I plan on doing regular updates) - I need to get that custom scales out to you all
> @Harro said:
yep good spot - but this should be harmonic minors so last note should be a semitone below tonic.
Thanks, loving this mighty app..
Peace’..
Kind of. A single rack can have multiple CCs. If you set up multiple, you can just choose the CC you want (hold the CC button down) for the corresponding part.
You can drag the values directly on the rack. Most of the visible rack values can be manipulated this way (Start, End, Format, Tempo...).
Alternatively, you can edit the step (tap the step's button) you want to be the last (or first) and then tap the [ or ] buttons.
To expand on what @syrupcore said.
There are two types of midi CC lists you can assign to each sequence - Global or Sequence. By default None is picked, but the Global option is for the song - so could be shared by many sequences, whilst the sequence one is specific to that sequence only (but you can copy the global one when setting up).
Use the Setup button at the top of the screen to assign Global or Sequence to one of the 6 sequences (if they exist).
Remember to define only those CCs you want in the list (disable others) and use the middle display button (the one that starts off saying Pick CC Type) to switch the faders to allow drawing.
As some Ccs are 14 bit - two display buttons - so use B for the lower 7 bits & the CC Type for the higher. When the CC Type is only 7 bit B is disabled & ignored.
You will note midi fx operate in a similar way Global/sequence - but there is no data display for these.
Yeah I've figured that part out. I mean different cc's for each part in seq 1.
If you set up four CCs for SEQ1, you can have each part in SEQ1 automate one of them. If you set up 16 CCs, each part can automate 4 of them. Discreetly. Is that what you mean?
Yes, that's it
but how
If I select a different part and then select another cc, all parts then default to the cc I've just selected.
Gotcha. I'm seeing the same. @midiSequencer?
It’s weird because I’m sure it was working correctly a few days ago
