As mentioned, you won't be able to do more than automate currently selected at this point - so you'd need to do some fancy automated switching to control more than one parameter on different sequences. Next update will allow it directly with NRPN.
so impressed with quantum!
thx - it doesn't always work though - sometimes its difficult to get those melodies right. Other times the magic just happens with a lucky draw on the screen.
I also find it difficult to match up good synths - so many synths with hundreds of patches - not all of them sequence well so you need to invest time in understanding what it is you are firing midi at and having that synth patch dynamic enough to control it remotely using a sequencer.
But Quantum isn't just about melodies - its about rhythm too - especially with polyrhythms & trigger conditions & humanise all adding variety.
would help if scales were visible on input..
They are - at the top of the screen?
Point it at VCVrack and you get pure magic.
there’s no way of visualising the interval relationship as it’s input. see troublemaker for eg.
gonna try that - I downloaded it yesterday
ah, you could enter pure intervals (numerics) if its a value only sequence though. I don't own troublemaker - just ruismaker
I love your transparency and honesty. You are, of course, spot on with these observations; I find it refreshing to read such open discourse on your creation. The thing is: when something clicks in Quantum, it's truly a unique and resonant thing.
something to consider when it comes to the new UI.
troublemakers essential! think it’s on sale rn
I just bought Quantum last night (thanks for the sale!) and own midiSequencer as well. I'm still learning how to be competent with it, but I like what I'm hearing so far. I love your ideas and the apps you make are solid, so I sincerely thank you and have no regrets about supporting your efforts and further development. That said, forgive me a moment for whining about something superficial but I do not love your aesthetic design. I had the same feeling with midiSequencer to the degree that I really couldn't enjoy using it, and it legitimately gave me pause before investing in Quantum because I couldn't get past the look and feel of that app despite its mighty capabilities. I'm determined to soldier on, but wanted to throw out the idea/request for a skinnable interface? Part of my problem might also be the font mix you've chosen; something sans-serif would look a lot cleaner in my opinion. Anyway, good job on the much more important musical parts and thanks for entertaining my neurosis.
no I agree its not to everyones taste - so a new UI is planned in dec (I have a couple of weeks holiday to sit down & give this app a new look - @syrupcore has already shown me the way).
It has probably stopped 90% of buyers, so rest assured its high on my list to deliver.
That is wonderful news! Best wishes for a successful redesign, then, and I look forward to creating with it.
Hardly. It would be good to get an actual designer involved! But yes, @oddSTAR the first things to go in the comp I created were serifs and italics.
Indebted to you, sir!
I figure the current interface is a nod to that 70s British gear where the boffins hired a mate to do the panel screenprinting. Usually the mate was the one who had narrowly escaped being scooped up by Operation Julie, and who had to be dissuaded from using runes rather than normal letters.
Is there any chance QS will become an Audio Unit?
Its a retro style - deliberately oversaturated and coloured. Being a teenager in the 70s I'm showing my age
As mentioned a new UI is planned. I could employ a professional designer but then I'd need a lot more sales to justify it.
AUv3? I'm looking at it - but it doesn't really fit in with Quantum being a Sequencer host to then make that host a plugin to another host. I've also not seen anyone use up more than about 12 sequencers - you can have 24 in Quantum - so what benefit would there be?
However, Quantum is just one sequencer app - I have others planned - they will no doubt start off as AUv3.
Yeah that sounds fair and realistic
Exciting!
But even if you can run only one instance of Quantum as AUv3 it's still a huge thing to be able to save the project in a host like AUM with all midi routings and ccs saved etc One click load and play.
State saving in Audiobus doesn't seem to work with Quantum as it asks to load last project rather than loading the project saved with AB3, is there a way to allow this?
edit, ah no it does work I think it changes what the "last file" is, cool
AUM doesn't even save the midi channel mappings... AB3 doesn't want you to use them.... Too many hosts and I don't think AUv3 is the standard just yet (and easy for Apple the break it).
I say new apps as Quantum & midiSequencer use a game engine (so it can do 3D & particles no problem) but thats not easy to shoehorn into Apple's UI - after all AUs are re-sizeable yes?
Once I get an AUv3 app hosting in AUM/AB then I can look at it again.
The GUI is the most I love from this app (and I love a lot of it). Respect for the old school.
funnily enough it came from a (failed) attempt at rendering 3D (using 3dsmax & vray - note the midiSequencer 3d pic!). - I needed to have a much higher resolution. It sort of stuck then I simply created 100s of the controls.... my bad for not fixing this first but I enjoy coding more than UI design
I'm going to keep the current UI though - its not going to go just because I do a new one.
I was bumping this classic the other day and was reminded of Quantum and its classic interface. Now I think it may be more of a Caustic vibe. Check it out:
hmm
Isn't that what Roseta is using?
Excuse me if I'm missing the subtleties, but anything which makes moving from launch to getting sounds out quicker is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. Particularly when the only way to not end up with a dead battery is to terminate your session with a series of app quits.
It’s been a couple months, but i remember easily sending out notes on the midi channel of my choice. But now when i hit the channel icon on the sequencer UI, i get a pop up, “warning: global midi channel set to 1”. Under “Devices” in “Global Midi Out”, I see no such option when my destination is selected and active. I looked in “settings” but only see a channel option for the recording source. The only other option i see for midi channel is under “devices” for “global midi in thru” Neither of these affect this behavior (as expected.) Where is this global midi out hiding?
Hit the Asterisk/star icon in the lower right to see page two of the rack. You can set the rack's midi channel there.
Thanks @syrupcore !
