    This is perhaps a sequence bug - or me not completely understanding the synching of parts and sequences. Try the following:

    Create Seq 1, 16 steps, with part A 1-8 and part B 9-16. Set the play icon in the rack to be ">". Play it, and it goes smooth as expected, no pauses anywhere, parts are played A, B, A, B, A, B ...

    Add Seq 2, 16 steps, set End to 4, set it to be a transpose sequence (value only), set tempo to 1/4. In Setup, set its sequence sync to None.
    Set Seq 1 to be transposed by Seq 2, and hit play in bottom left (global play). Now, after the first A,B, there is a pause introduced before every A part plays. Sounds like a bug, no?

    yep its a bug with the logic on > I think - but only seems there if you have a 2nd sequence (even a normal one). Will fix this.

    i’m trying to send midi two two separate channels i’m AUM. is there a way to change each tracks midi output. I changed it from the CH sliders on each track, but both track keep triggering in aum, even when i have the AUm routing going to separate channels. channels one and two. i must be missing something. any idea?

    You can change the output channel for the entire sequence by hitting the Asterisk button in the lower right. That brings up page two of the rack and there's a slider there for MIDI Channel. Not sure if that'll solve your AUM routing problem.

    Hit the * on lower right and set Ch to be Midi out channel for that sequencer, set Ch on other sequencers in the Rack. In Devices select AUM.

    In AUM filter out all but channels you want.

    That's all I can think of.

    i new it was something simple i was just missing. thanks guys

    up to you. Quantum means you can do everything that MidiSequencer does but MidiSequencer has the ability to automate Quantum using either midi CC's or NRPN(14bit midi CCs).

    Wow, I can’t be without those, can I? :smile:
    I have it in AppStore in case I need it anyway.

    I really like the retro look of your app. It stands out from the rest, modern style interfaces.
    It reminds me of the sequencer on the Roland System 700 I used at the university I studied music.
    However, that one was hell to tune. I prefer quantum

  • yowzayowza

    Nice review, not many details but hey it just came out and there's a lot to figure out!

  • bleepbleep

    I´m glad you quickly found the bug.
    Btw, have you considered adding a panning button? Would be nice to use the faders for this, and let sequence parts run in different directions to create some panning effects.

  • Philh0954Philh0954

    How is panning handled in Quantum? I know I must be missing something obvious but I can seem to find any controls. Can you adjust note panning within a sequence? Can you pan complete sequences?

  • bleepbleep

    After my previous post I realized that panning sadly isn't included in a midi note message. So I guess we have to set up a CC and send channel messages with the faders. So what I wrote about forward and reverse effects can't be done within the same sequence.

  • Blipsford_BaubieBlipsford_Baubie

    I figured it out. Under setup, set AB Link to phase

    Forgive my unfamiliarity with the app's vernacular, but I'm not understanding how to sync rack sequencers with on the first beat of the first bar. When i first turned the metrenome on i notices that the accented beat falls somewhere other than the first step of the sequencers. It's different everytime i stop the main transport and start again. However, i notice that the accented beat of the quantum metrenome is always in line with AUM's Link thing visually. What am i missing apart from needing to read the manual?

    not sure - let me check - the metronome (which is bit cranky in the audio) is Ableton's code not mine.

    You can also check the Link song pointer on the screen (it goes yellow to show its Link timeline & negative for count ins).

    Thx - when you can think of something that would be nice to add please do!

    Is is possible to set scales for alternate tunings (non-equal temperament) within Quantum?

    For me, the ability to play polyrhythms and alternate tunings is what distinguishes a must-buy app from a wishlist app. If I never hear another synthy 4/4 groove at 120 bpm in C Major ET, that would be entirely okay with me.

    Is it possible to change tempo with every step, like you can do in a tracker? Or to randomize the tempo changes?

  • dreamrobedreamrobe

    Is it somehow possible to have a sequence or a part not play notes but only velocity or cc info?

    It doesn't directly support alternate tunings. That's usually at the instrument level. It's happy to sequence my Monologue in an alternate tuning.

    Not sure if you're already aware but Quantum can do both poly-meters and poly-rhythms.

    You can set the current sequence's clock division per step. Dunno about randomizing the tempo.

    Hit the asterisk on the bottom right, set the global midi button to rack midi and you get this dialog.

  • gusgranitegusgranite

    It's a brilliant app. Thank you, thank you!

    I don't care about the design when the functionality is this good. Even if you do update it, you will still hear opinions about how it should be this or that. If you have to choose, then put your time into bug squashing and feature development I say.

  • DCJDCJ

    Every time I think... can I do this with Quantum? It turns out I can. Such a beast.
    Also, every time I have a question someone else has already asked it and one of you provide the answer. <3 <3 <3

    Got the vids - such an well thought out amazing app !!!

    terrible dialog level on the video though ;)

    too quiet or too loud? I don't have a great voice (I'm better at coding ;))

    Yeh, I agree with @Mayo, too quiet in the balance.

    I really had to “ride” the volume between the spoken bits and the app, sometimes the synth sequences seemed to overwhelm the commentary.

    I hear you, I’m a better techie than a sales guy and fair play to you for getting a video or two out there but your great app deserves a showcase by the Jakob Haqs of this world who can really make it shine.

    This thing has depth for days and I hope it finds wider appreciation.

    easy to fix - I just need to understand video editing better - only just got final cut pro!

    Trouble is this app is difficult to show off if you don't know it well - I've just messaged Jakob but he does seem very focused on the bigger fish like Korg (understandably - they should still offer him a job!).

    Agreed, it does reward an investment in time to get into the details.

    I guess a demo going deep but maybe lacking a bit of polish is better than somebody not familar with the depths and just fumbling around.

    You wait until I unleash myself onto YouTube then you’ll see and hear some terrible demos. ;)

    It seems you can´t send vel without a note which makes kind of sense. But cc works great. Polymeters here i come :smiley:

    @midiSequencer the transpose sequence box is unusable on iPhone. Can't even get out of it.

  • WillWill

    @dreamrobe said:

    Yep. That's just the spec. You might be able send C -2 or something so low the destination doesn't really register it. Depending on the synth/sound, etc, of course. Or set the gate% to 0 for each step?

    Polymeters here i come :smiley:

    Do tell.

  • WillWill

    I just realized the Humanize steps button (second to last) is actually a toggle for three different step types.

    1. Sets the probability that a given step will 'humanize'
    2. Sets the maximum possible amount of velocity 'humanization'
    3. Sets the maximum possible amount of note 'humanization'


    They basically match the last three knobs in the Step Options dialog. I was still entering the last two knobs manually and using the humanize step type as probability only. Now we can draw!

    Got to spend a few hours tonight with Quantum. Love the follow-actions, feel right at home as I use them in Ableton. I like follow-actions more than other types of automation, seems to bridge the gap between text and drawing, reminds me of ladder-logic too. The GUI of Quantum and midisequencer is kinda confounding and sensible, it's easier on my eyes than I want it to be B)

    I created faders on MidiSequencer because I didn't get on with rotaries. btw, I got to play with a roland system 700 way back in 1970's. Couldn't afford to buy it of course....

    guess you could output the midi learn on the faders (it transmits midi as well as learns it) & use it to automate your mixer - if its audio panning you mean?

    Like @bleep's question - midi doesn't really have a concept of panning (unless you mean midi cc 10 which is generally pan control) - its more of the sound sources like synths that could achieve this.

    Let me know if you have something specific in mind

    tell me what you need... but yes a midi note on or off only include note#, velocity & midi channel.

    Micro-tuning is on my list of things to do - as you say not everyone uses ET.
