Different Drummer - channels 9 and 10?

When you route the Different Drummer multi-outs in AUM, I can’t work out what channels 9 and 10 are for?

    One is for the solo channel (the hand icon in the right-middle part of the screen will take you there.) I think that is part 9. The other part....I'm not sure, but the only output that I can think of would be the metronome. Note that these are parts, rather than channels, since each part can be set to different midi channels.

    Ah - good info. Thx.

    I’ve had marked interest in this one for awhile, but put the brakes on after I watch bits of tutorials. The UI looks to be fairly enigmatic.

    Baffling? Or not as cryptic as it looks?

    Definitely baffling, & cryptic,......... in a very interesting way. I have yet to succeed in creating anything vaguely musical with it, although that criticism could be levelled at most of my output . ;) Almost certainly it would be possible to create something amazing & unique with this app (if you could get to grips with it)........I am glad i bought it even though i don't really understand it................undoubtedly out there in a world of it's own.......

    I’ve kind of resigned myself to focus strictly on sound design and interesting sonic compositions that may or not be “musical” at all. If they end up being musical, it’s pure accident. ;)

    And there are cryptic apps that I’ve buckled down to learn, and then have to relearn if I haven’t used them in awhile. For these apps, I’ve resigned myself to just having fun exploring with them with hopes of happy accidents that I’d never come up with on my own. I don’t have a solid grip with these apps, but they’re almost always fun to roll the dice with.

    Dhalang MG is kinda like that from me, but I spent a good amount of time learning that one, so I do have somewhat good control with it too.

    Sounds like Different Drummer May fall into this category. Looks like although the dev has more or less stopped developing it, he’s still maintaining it with bug fixes when needed. Might take a chance and nab this later this evening for an experimental deep dive.

    Not as difficult as many people seem to think. The first step to gain control is go into grid mode. That locks notes to the beats. That will give you something more musical. If you're looking for more experimental, non-grid mode is your friend. The other trick is to enter a progression in the progression builder screen. A simple I, IV, V progression will make and composition much more interesting. The pic below shows the icon to enable/disable grid mode.

    Definitely a happy accident machine and just the ticket for breaking out of musical boxes. Yes, you can get controlled results if you learn how. But then I have to ask myself why would I try to fit that square peg into that round hole? The interface, in fact the whole instrument is ... enigmatic ... yes, that’s the word I was looking for. I get the feeling it’s something you would dig. I enjoy it a lot, but never have figured out how to use it in any composition.

    Thanks. :) looks to be at least worth it as a cool audio puzzle thingamajig.
