    I will concede that if you save your Quantum sessions with the same name as your BM3 / AUM projects so you can pick up where you left off then AU becomes less critical. However, AU would still be more convenient as it would just pick up where you left off regardless. And why stop at 6 sequencer channels when you have 30 lol...

    Not just more convenient. Not sure about anybody else, but my music making sessions tend to be short and are usually interrupted by real life. If the power management in IOS were good enough to be able to put a device in your pocket with bunch of music apps running, and then pull it out half an hour later without it having run the battery flat it might be a different story, but with the current situation having to spend five minutes initialising the setup means most sessions involving more than one app (and I'm not including AUV3s within other host apps here) end before any actual music gets made.

    I know... I’m being generous because this app is so amazing and don’t want to give the developer grief about it not being AU :smile:

    It’s one of the only IAA apps I still regularly use and I would LOVE it if it became an AU.

    That’s very exciting! Can’t wait to see what you have planned.

    Anyway, regardless - Quantum is still the best app on iOS for me. Just amazing. Congrats on the new skin and features and thank you for the free update!!

  • edited June 2018

    Yes, in the CC Panel you can pick CC values to be modulated by the faders. If you select Model 15 there (among some other external hardware mappings), then you get to easily dial in the CCs you want from the list @midiSequencer posted above. Unfortunately, the nice text displayed there is not carried over to the faders UI, so there you need to remember what the heck CC1(CC57) is!

    @JohnnyGoodyear just remembered this mini tut: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/21646/quantum-parts-as-fugue-machine-mini-tut

    Parts might be a little much to grok if you're just getting into it but...

    You don't really need to explore parts early on- they are quite an advanced feature for complex sequences(eg you can reuse steps or have individual loop action lists per part). You can do the same with individual sequences

    That's a good point. That was intended to illustrate a use for the parts feature but, yes, it's overly complex for toe dipping. Updated version:

    1. pick a scale (top right)
    2. turn on the draw (top right)
    3. slide your finger around to draw in some notes.
    4. hit play and fix up any notes that piss you off or just keep dragging your finger around until you're generally happy
    5. on the sequence bar (below the step buttons), drag the start and stop values so that only 4 notes are playing
    6. Using the buttons at the bottom, copy this sequence to the second sequencer rack
    7. Tap the rack view button (the asterisk on the lower right)
    8. On the 2nd rack, set the "CH" to the same as MIDI channel as the first rack (channel 1 unless you changed it)
    9. Tap the rack view button again
    10. On the 2nd rack, double tap or drag "Tr" to set it an octave lower (-12)
    11. On the 2nd rack, double tap or drag 'Tempo' and set it to "1/2" so it runs at half the speed
    12. Mess about. Play direction, different play speeds, step options, different start/stop points, etc.
  • Hey guys,

    Been awhile. I read the above feature, and am lil overwhelmed but...here we go:

    I really like to noodle on the previous app midi sequencer. I totally appreciated the free IAP that everyone gets now. I basically just want to know how much different Quantum is compared to the other earlier more basic app. I have not even fully explored that one so quantum looks a wee bit scary unless it is more like midi seqx4 or is it totally way more amazing in everyday? Thanks and I feel like this and steparp unit are competing right now in terms of noodling tangerine style or whatnot. Anything I miss? And thanks yawl rule!

  • My next projects are all AUv3 :)

    Since apeMatrix came out I've been mostly using steppolyarp over quantum due to the state saving. It works for me, in that I'm getting a lot more tunes past the 'nice idea' stage with that setup.

    But, I'm finding that that setup, which often seems to mean five or six steppolyarp instances, is limited because I run out of matrix. Quantum as an AUv3 would be fantastic, meaning I could run all my MIDI in one slot.

  • @oceansinspace said:

    Yep. It is indeed like MidiSequencer X 6. There's much more added but you can ignore all of it and just use it like (up to) 6 instances of MidiSequencer. It's actually up to 24 instances but... ;)

    I think the only thing Quantum 'lost' in the move is the sliders aren't as tall as they are in MS to accommodate all of the new stuff below the sliders. Oh, snapshots aren't there though there are 'versions' which is pretty much the same concept. I can't think of anything else anyway.

    The additions are:

    • 6 sequences rather than 1 - each can have their own set of devices(i.e. synths) or CC list or midi fx or tempo division
    • 64 steps rather than 16
    • time parameter per step (this is step length from 1/64T to 4/1D of song tempo)
    • sub-sequences - you can split them with up to 4 overlayed parts (each with their own tempo/transpose/start/end) all using the same pool of notes
    • Sequencer versions
    • Song modes (link sequences, play only selected, play all etc)
    • Part play modes (selected, next, previous, all)
    • per part Loop actions (you build a list of actions like transpose, start another seq etc applied when the part loops)
    • Value sequence (used to transpose other sequences)
    • select/copy/paste steps
    • scalable faders (using limits to narrow the min/max range) - draggable bar on main screen
    • 20 realtime controls to save you switching to the synth (get for noodling)
    • Mixer panel to adjust volume/mute/solo of all possible 24 parts (can save as scene)
    • user defined key scales - you can pick enharmonic spellings an what note replaces non-scale notes
    • export sequence or song to midi file
    • undo of fader movements
    • ornament variations (ratchets can be varied etc)
    • per step Elektron style trigger conditions (mute, mute just chords, skip on nth/1 & nth, all but nth step)
    • per step mute/enable of midi fx
    • Sequence accents (increases volume on step play)
    • Ableton Link + metronome
    • Audiobus midi
    • airplay sharing of song, sequence, cc or midi files
    • new modern UI
    • new set of NRPN to automate Quantum internals
    • Recording step options (notes, cc, chords)

    and probably more...

    MidiSequencer is still quite capable, but Quantum is for controlling multiple synths & improved noodling.

  • Quantum is for controlling multiple synths & improved noodling.

    Though, just for clarity, you can also use multiple sequences pointed at the same synth.

  • @midiSequencer spent several more hours with Quantum. What an incredible sequencer! It's starting to make more sense now.

    Three questions... in the manual you refer to RHS and LHS. What are these?

    Seems I saw a "latch mode" somewhere. Where is it? How does it basically function in Quantum?

    I wasn't able to locate the "latch mode" description/section or what RHS/LHS stands for in your manual.

    Lastly, people keep asking for Quantum to be AU. With the level of control and seemingly infinite possibilities for composition as it is now... how could it even benefit at all from being an AU? I mean, I can't imagine needing multiple instances of it with all of the sequence and parts combinations already available. How could AU be of benefit if you ever decided to go that route?

    Oh yes, there’s that.

    It’s just that I’m really in awe of how great this sequencer really is. Never cared for the UI design to be honest, but the new one is much easier on the eyes.

    All in all, it’s a fairly genius piece of software. I don’t think I’d ever use all that it’s actually capable of. I can’t really think of much it’s missing.

    Even simple things like play forward 3 then back 2, can make for great dynamic and evolving changes in composition.

    Can you hip me to the latch mode functions if you’re familiar?

  • @skiphunt sorry, can't recall what latch mode is off the top of my head.

  • @skiphunt said:

    It's funny, I'm finding myself using the original look. Not so much that I think it looks nicer (especially those italic, serif fonts... ; ) but I'm finding the more colorful screen easier to find controls more quickly; especially the version buttons, especially when they're hiding under the Audiobus panel*. I'm also finding the gradient in the sequencer lanes messes with my eyes when scanning over the interface.

    *Actually, this reminds me: @midiSequencer , would it be possible to include a setting for placing the Audiobus panel somewhere else? I know the function is there and have seen other apps that allow this user control. The right and left sides of Quantum have lots of play controls, I would prefer if the Audiobus panel was at the top (or maybe bottom) as these are more controls that you use to set up a session rather than to play one.

    One other thing: while you can set a step up to 400% gate, in the Chord page the slider only goes to 100%. The slider control can actually appear outside the soldier channel.

    Can you hip me to the latch mode functions if you’re familiar?

    The only latching I'm familiar with is standard "note latching" I.e. The step outputs a MIDI on but no MIDI off, so a looped sound will continue playing.

    sure its possible to place audiobus control panel at a different edge so will include that as a user option

    I'm probably going to remove the gradient too.

    On the chords page the Vel & gate are now relative multipliers rather than absolute values, so you can set an added note step up to 100% of the original step value, but not more. If you think you'd like more let me know and I can make a change?

    Yes latch is for 'no midi off' = no release of key. Its intended for drone notes - you sort of play these via the audition button (the speaker button bottom right on main screen).

    Probably a good time to mention this audition button - its really useful to allow you to play the faders as a keyboard. First setup your steps notes/chords etc. Lock the screen, enable audition - you can play along with your sequences using the fader steps as a sort of memory. If the faders are unlocked steps are played as you move them (more as an audible feedback as to the note you want).
    You can do this in the chords screen too.

    AU clock is going really well (low cpu, no glitches) - hope to do a video demo this weekend using it.

    Yes, I figured out the latch. I thought I'd seen it written as "latch mode" somewhere and was curious what the "mode" was. But, I just misread "latch note" instead.

    Cool on the audition button function. Hadn't discovered that yet. Will give it a try later.

    On the gradient... doesn't really bother me. Kind of like it even. However, maybe you could try a gradient from dark grey to one of the deeper purple shades in the logo, instead of the current gradient that goes from dark grey to white/light grey. You'd still have a little dimension illusion, it'd be consistent with your overall app color palette/logo. And, the contrast of the white text on deep purple might be easier to differentiate for those who say the gradient is messing with their eyes.

    Hmmm, it seems to be showing the absolute value, not an additional modifier:


    Thanks in advance for movable Audiobus panel! That's going to make performing much easier.

  • @midiSequencer or anyone else - can you tell me more about the CC templates, please? So I see how to load the Model 15 one for example but then not sure how to practically use the template?

  • @aplourde - let me recheck - I'm sure I changed it all to be a multiplier - but yes that fader should remain on screen - even though its the step note.

  • @gusgranite by cc template you mean my CC mappings for devices?
    These are only in the CC Panel (main screen button top left) - open up the Controller panel & pick CC
    You see where it says Standard midi - tap that button to select different mappings - these are text only.

    Yes, thank you! I got that far but I’m interested in practical usage. How would you use these CC mapping’s with Model 15, say? Is it possible to give me a example, please? Thanks!
