On the iPhone, the line of pads combined with selectable scales is no different from the way the Gadget keyboard works.
It wouldn't hurt to indicate the root key on each octave though
Having an option though would not take away from what the phone already has.
This wouldn’t have to be too complicated. Just make it an option on the “Keys” pages and swipe right and left to switch back and forth between pads and a keyboard. That’s the place you’d want a traditional keyboard to show up and it wouldn’t compromise the existing workflow.
Having a keyboard would enhance workflow certainty. My only point above was that it’s no simple feat, in the context of designing something appropriate for smaller screens.
I'd like to add my upvote for this as well.
No idea how easy/hard it would be to implement, but my money is on this dev to get it done, if it fits in with his vision for the app.
what does this mean? > @Dawdles said:
that’s what I took away from it too, but I don’t see where in the app that would be implemented. I’m sure i’m just overlooking it. lol > @Dawdles said:
@jimpavloff thanks again Jim excellent update The only thing for me to add would be a basic compressor per pad Basic with just a Threshold only as can use the AMP EG (ADSR) to do Envelope shaping - Can a basic compressor be added in the same menu as the HaaS delay that you added - is this possible if not no worries though it would mean being able to do a full mix in GR16
I’m going to hijack this thread for a second. @jimpavloff ive been looking at AU FX and as far as I’m concerned nothing really meets the criteria I’m after when it comes to mixing and automating. May I propose that you make your MFX pad into a separate AU plugin? The JIM AUDIO AU FX unit?
Perhaps it’s technically impossible but your MFX and combined IFX lend to some incredible sounding unexpected results, especially when you delve into the looper, sidechainer, tape delay and off beater.
For those like myself who’ve asked for bigger kaoss pads and more MFX this is something that would be a happy compromise in my opinion because users get the power of a powerful FX module if they want to sequence their stems in a linear DAW and the developer gets some new revenue. Hope I’m not stepping out of bounds but it I thought it was such a powerful idea I had to put it out there.
Organize the files into folders within the On My iPad > Groove Rider folder in the files app. You’ll then see the folder see the folder structure within the app. It works great.
You can also use “open in” on zip files to move them in to a folder, with the underlying structure of the zip file intact.
oh ok? thanks that makes more sense. > @wim said:
Woohoo for sample folders!!!
OK, this just became my 'must learn inside/out' app. No more dabbling.
Jim, you ROCK!
Once you get comfortable, it’s amazing how quickly you can do everything. Did not find KEW to be very quick at all
If KEW gets sampler import I will probably feel more motivated to use it beyond making sample fodder. As it is I need to dedicate the IFX and MFX along with external FX / BM3 to get things I really like. Thats OK but to me the beauty of a groovebox is the chill yet productive all in one flowy vibe. GR is feeling like the fun I had with Elastic drums but with more potential, particularly in the melodic zone.
Tip for melodies, use the erase button plus the scale pad to alter them live. Lots of fun
Ooohlah! thanks!
Hey, I just discovered that what you want to do is possible with OMNI mode, I think. Check the manual, last page.
[edit] nvm - doesn’t work in keys mode, only for pads. But, since the basic capability is there maybe it could be extended to keys mode.
@jimpavloff will it be possible to add Pad Link Groups - i.e 1pad triggers other pad/s as the user triggers pad manually? The current option “ paste part notes” is cool but a Pad Link setting would be even cooler :-) if cannot be done no problem
This would be cool actually
Must say, this app is growing..
It’s absolutely Amazing..
How does one record mutes on this?
Can you give an example of what you'd like to do?
Ok.. trying to like automate (record) the mutes while a pattern is playing.. Like if you have an 8 bar pattern, while the pattern is playing, I would like to record mutes ‘live’.. like muting the bass for like 2 bar, muting a snare part etc, all live.. and have it played back with the mutes as I have recorded..
Thanks..
Mutes are constant during a pattern and cannot be automated.
Can this play samples chromatically yet ? When I last tried you had to modulate pitch but I prefer to be able to play using either the pads or a keyboard.
Yes it can in 'Keys' mode...
Is there a timestretch option, though? I can't remember.
@RajahP mutes can either be quantised and recorded to audio as performed or programmed as part of the pattern in which case you can duplicate and chain patterns. You can also use trig conditions to set a note not to play on a certain interval.
RTFM
It's more like an 'old school' mono sample player so no time-stretch but it's got automation of sample start & end which is quite handy. Also the loop can be tempo-synced old-school style meaning the pitch changes to match the tempo.
