Shift plus write basically gives you all of that doesn’t it? Write is save, shift plus write and save to new is your save as. Shift plus write plus revert to saved will cancel changes, and then copy covers all the duplicating stuff. I was referring specifically to the requirement that save to new only take effect once the loop completes or playback is stopped momentarily.
SHIFT + Write
Too complicated when you're thinking of other things. I'm always overwriting things I wish I hadn't.
Edit: maybe you could add those items onscreen menu for the writing in the pattern category.
Yeah you just need to drill shift plus write plus save to new into your head, it takes 2 seconds but I get where you’re coming from
...maybe a little panel with these options popping up right next to the button when hitting WRITE.
About the new shift+select feature - Isn't it designed to select multiple notes for joint editing while holding shift??
No, it only selects a step range.
I’m so close to getting this drum app guys. But still wondering if it’s for me. I’m an Electric guitar player and already have most drum apps. But this one intrigues me a lot. I’d like to see how good is it for creating rock, soft rock, contemporary rock music. Haven’t heard or seen any YouTube videos on this, or is it mostly for EDM crowd??
OK sorry, to be more clear: Would it be asking too much to enable both selection of a step range and individual steps like step one and step nine, for example? You would hold shift and instead of swiping over a step range you'd tap on all the steps you want to edit.
GR-16 can do so much more. Import your own samples or use the wide selection that's included and not restricted to EDM. Lots of synthesis and realtime modulation options, you can play and record melodies, in other words it's likely the best groovebox app you can get today.
Thanks! Was wondering about the patterns in it. Are there any rock grooves?
Why not record them yourself?
Choose the drum instruments and record the patterns you want. It's a matter of minutes.
A. To call it a drum app is a bit of a miss. It can do all the rest of the music as well.
B. The included patterns are mostly dance, electronic stuff but you can make any type of music with this. Import some orchestral sounds and write a symphony. There are no genre limitations here
I would say this is mostly a create it all on your own type app as opposed to Groovebox or others that encourage using preset patterns so if you want rock grooves you’ll have to make them yourself. I mention that cause I know how you like your drum/chord generators, etc
Yeah thanks! I’ve been getting a little better at it myself
with BM3 and iMPC Pro2 actually 
But if this app helps you build such patterns a lot easier and then chain them somehow to create the bones of a song sort of speak, then it might work for me. Thing is, I do like patterns cause as a non drummer,they get my creative juices flowing.
@jimpavloff any thoughts or progress on an inbuilt sampler - would be a game changeto be able to sample inter app or vinyl from my technics 1200s via camera connection kit/usb soundcard into GR as well as other analogue outboard sources and sampling from one ipad to another into GR.
Also an option to choose the left or right side of a stereo sample imported into GR - I know GR converts to mono however it mixes the stereo channel into a Left/Right merged sample - I currently use Audioshare to convert Stereo sounds into mono left or right but be cool feature to be able to do this all in GR making GR even more an independant app.This feature I asked the Beatmaker3 devs to implement and they managed it - however GR is now for me the leading app.
This is very useful when you take a sample and for example vocals are panned left and drums panned right and the user wants just the drums.
@jimpavloff this is an example from bm3 where you can convert and choose the left or right of a sample.
The framework I using for importing audio files does not give stereo conversion options, unfortunately.
There's no near plans for making built-in Sampler.
Currently, in the upcoming update, I'm adding patterns chain audio export options (both master output and separate stems).
Any owners of the Electribe hardware here? I'm curious to hear what owners of the actual hardware can tell about the workflow of GR16 compared to the original...
Sorry if this already has been answered but I'm too lazy to search through 69 pages ;-)
@jimpavloff excellent Jim look forward to the next update - will this include the pattern repeats too?
Yes you will be able to use pattern's "Chain Repeat" parameter together with these functions to render any pattern two or more repeat cycles.
It's 150% better. It has the same workflow plus more. The sample slicing is awesome and simple.
Thanks!
Ok, I think I'll give it a try now...
Anyone care to make a short vid on the rock patterns? Really appreciate it. Close to pushing the buy button
Man with the proper samples you can make a rock beat in anything that supports samples and midi
@jimpavloff excellent dude thanks - this is good news Jim
I didn’t come across any preset patterns that screamed rock to me, but I don’t really use them to be honest. But seriously, it’s real easy to make stuff between the pad sequencer, piano roll sequencer, live recording, arpeggiator (which can be used for any sound including percussion). It’s basically a mobile daw, only your music is saved in 1 to 4 bar patterns which you then chain together
To be honest, I think you're barking up the wrong tree here. This app has HUGE strengths, and it's one of my all-time top favorites, but for what you're saying you want it for, I'm not so sure it adds much to what you already have.
Thanks Wim and all! I guess I might stick to the ones I already own. Maybe I’ll end up getting it to support the dev and learn this app and perhaps adapt it to my workflow somehow.
I’m mostly into Acoustic drums and having the ability to load samples here seems really appealing!
Are we able to add effects on a per pad basis? Like say a pad is playing a snare, can we add reverb to that sound alone?
You can - I use it all the time on my snares and you can filter it add LFO or delay.
Reverb isn’t an insert fx. Just delay. So @MusicMan4Christ you have 1 insert fx per pad and there’s a bunch but not reverb. Reverb can be a send fx and each instrument has their own send dial or it can be a master fx. But mostly send. So all together it’s one insert fx per part. Per part send fx amount and master fx. But of course you can automate the shit out of everything to get “effects”
