Yeah!
Nah, still no landscape mode.
Agreed. I have my iPad rotation locked on landscape so that it doesn't switch while I'm moving it around. It is a complete PITA when an app doesn't have landscape mode and I need to remember to rotate it. It is for this reason I rarely open TriqTraq as it is!
Well, it’s basically only a demo version. Would be crazy if they added features the full version does not have. That being said, I would love to have the the light skin and I agree that the app needs a landscape mode on iPad. But I guess the target plattform is the iPhone.
All true. Drambo will make all this irrelevant.
So you can have up to 8 samples in a channel (4 channels)... Can you pitch each sample independently (a piano note sample)? Of do you pitch all 8 samples in that channel at once?
@SlowwFloww From what I remember the entire channel is pitched, the controls for channel are global for all samples in the channel
Yeah.. that's what I suspected. So if you have your drums on ch1, you only have 3 channels (tracks) left to play melodies:
ch1 - drums
ch2 - bassline
ch3 - lead
ch4 - chords
I like triqtraq but whatever version is useless to me as I can’t clock sync them with external hardware.
Not sure I understand what you mean. You can pitch every step of every channel. You can lock parameters for every step. It’s an unusual combination of limited/unlimited. It’s really inspiring and very easy to add your own sounds, but you wouldn’t probably finish a track in it. Does have Link and full Ableton Live set export.
No landscape? I just turn my head, like I am eating a taco.
If you have a bass sample in channel 1, and a piano sample in channel 1 you can't play a different melody in the same attern for each. You pitch the whole channel: al the 8 samples at the same time...
So each sound has to be in a different channel if you want to play a bass melody and a different piano melody at the same time..
It only plays one sample/sound per channel at any given beat/step.
So it would be better to load each sound to its own channel, if you want more than one sound simultaneously.
It does apply pitch to all sounds in a channel, but each step can have its own pitch value as well as sound, so you could do it all on one channel. You just have to keep in mind only one sound/pitch per step, per channel.
It’s kinda like beatboxing. If you are good at it, you can sound like a whole bunch of stuff playing together, but really you can only make one sound with your mouth at any given instant
Nice analogy! @CracklePot
Not really. A mono synth would have a couple of oscillators and a noise generator. With a human gob: you get a kick, bass sound and a hihat (air) all in one go. Not quite multitimbral but definitely several sounds at once.
Unless you do it while eating a taco.
That is still just one sound though. One composite sound, different from each individual sound you listed on their own.
Triqtraq uses samples. So to include your variation into the analogy, you could create a composite sample made of multiple samples, load that, and it will sound like multiple samples playing. But good luck trying to pitch those samples individually in Triqtraq.
Honestly though, I am not familiar with the ability to make multiple sounds simultaneously with your mouth or voice or whatever. Unless you’re talking Tuvan throat singing. Have any beatboxers incorporated that into their style, yet? That would probably sound pretty amazing.
Really, what I was attempting to describe is called ‘linear groove’ theory or technique.
You only play one drum sound on any given step, basically. It is some funk drumming variant, I believe.
Reminds me of old tracker programs, there were lots of tricks to sound like you had more than 4 tracks. Later there was a technological breakthrough that allowed them to squeeze 8 tracks out of the 4 channel chips.
It’s got Link. What more do you need?
I love TriqTraq. Def. of the limitations lead to lovely things school. And fun.
@CraclePot I’m not familiar with trick track so I was just responding to your analogy.
‘Honestly though, I am not familiar with the ability to make multiple sounds simultaneously with your mouth or voice or whatever’
For the sake of conversation. A sound is a sound. Most of sounds in nature are really more than one sound put together. The saxophone or the guitar or any other acoustic instrument for that matter, have several sounds put together. In this way if you make the ‘zzzzz’ sound you’re making at least two sounds simultaneously. Anyway, I know you know where I’m going with this and I know what you’re thinking...composite sound....
I think you’re talking more of melody and harmony and yes that’s where I agree with you. The throat singing AFAIK is a bit of a cheat because it works using resonant harmonics of the original sound rather than actual separate fully controllable note. Still bloody impressive, as well as any good beatboxer out there.
