Yes, everything is saved automatically, and reloaded when the project is later opened.
This might form the basis for some Forum collaboration. Someone could post an AUM Project with 1 Atom as a seed and someone add another Atom to it and someone add...
This would generate Molecules of course.
When the AUM Update adds the ability to merge Projects that will help too. If some aspect of the AUM Project requires a rare Synth then those tracks could get recorded and replaced with an AUM file player.
I'm sure AudioBus can also serve as the mixing vial for Atom-based Molecules.
Yes +1 for ability to toggle overdub recording
How do you see overdub turned off working? Because you can already turn off recording by disarming "LOOP RECORD" in the UI, in which case the loop just plays.
Would you expect things to overwrite? Or would you expect bars to auto-grow and fit the recording?
I’ll be adding this straight away, looks excellent!
A suggestion, making a toolset like the one in Auria Pro would be nice. Various velocity manipulations, random capabilities, co press ion, expansion, time shifting, etc.
These features and audio quantize keep me struggling with Auria Pro. It would be great to have an alternative DAW with strong midi editor or the tools to make weak editors in DAWS more efficient and usable.
Personally I'm looking for an option for it to stop recording after a set number of bars play so there's no editing to do if possible. So it then it just plays the recorded loop and isn't recording.
The other thing which could be nice is if you could choose to delete the first overdub with the first "undo" press, if there's more overdubs then multiple undos could delete them one by one.
Some people like to loop record and overdub to add notes with each pass, like building up a drum pattern one sound per pass.
Some people like to loop record, but replace what was there previously with newly played notes, like Korg iKaossilator.
I like both options, depending on the situation.
A single pass record option would be great too, like mentioned a few posts back. Records one loop cycle then immediately returns to Play mode. If you could have Recording start at a bar division automatically, waiting for the bar if you press Record sometime before the actual bar, that would be awesome.
If you add a mode that does Automatic Loop Length, adding bars until you disarm recording, it would really start to cover most scenarios of Loop recording.
+1 on that, this is like pre-lenght loop which allows to play live, especially if record can be triggered by midi. Like Loopy count in/out or a kind of punch in/out. Should be a very nice feature for Atom too.
Agree also with overdub undo/redo, or even an ability to choose between takes like GarageBand multi-takes. For example long press undo could allow to choose between overdubs takes.
As @CracklePot mentioned overdub replacement is also super interesting, especially again for live music. That means you can make your music evolve easily with new parts coming in with minimum taps actions. It’s like re-record in Loopy, which has lot of nice midi actions available BTW.
We missed AU sequencer for a long time, and Atom can also fills the gap with midi live music/looping, which is a huge need too for lot of us who explore DAW-less iOS musical environment
Since we're piling on with the feature requests regarding loop recording, then I'll go ahead and suggest saving takes, so that the user can go back and choose a favorite.
Only 16 ratings in the AppStore.
Seems like it should be way more, considering the chatter on this forum.
Can you export a midi file? This would be excellent!
The ratings in AppStore are by country and as far as I know there's no way to get the 'global ranking' of an app in a localised AppStore which is another 'thing' Apple has screwed up with the AppStore since it's early days...
Just move to Ireland to see what that means. Even though it is a primarily English-speaking country, I have exactly ZERO opportunity to read app reviews, because yes, they're filtered by COUNTRY, NOT by language. How stupid is that. Ireland, having only roundabout 4 million people, means that there's essentially zero reviews for any app that's not completely mainstream. So, ALL music making apps
Nvm. Not funny.
Nope. But you can record into another midi app called Photon, then export from there.
@SevenSystems Even as a developer, you are limited by country for viewing your own apps’ reviews? That is totally weird, if that is what you meant.
I think an update is due..
I hope..
There should be a lot of feature updates to Atom. I remember people telling the dev to go ahead and release it, even though he had not finished stuff like AU parameter automation, or midi import/export.
So if the app feels incomplete, it is our own fault for being impatient before. No choice but to have patience now, and enjoy what we have to work with in Atom currently.
Nah, that was just a bad example in the screenshot
I can view reviews from all countries, but the average "not-so-mainstream app" buyer is completely screwed in a small country.
Yes.. you are correct.. and we do appreciate him releasing it before it was fully baked..
My humble apologies.. 🙏🏼
Au contraries mes amis. It’s superbly baked!
We have only been served first course so far. I’m already comfortably full already. But Oh là là! We are still watering at the mouth for what is to come.
@SevenSystems
I love your keys and pads plugs!
One thing I would LOVE to see is a pads format similar to BeatMaker 3 regarding the Roll pad AND the standard pads together.
Thoughts?
Thanks! Yes, I've already added a "retrigger pad" to Pads' roadmap and BM3 indeed seems to have nailed the user interface.
Currently, most development effort is going into Xequence itself again, but when that cools down, the plugs might see an update too
Is this abandoned now? I’m after an app to quickly chuck a few notes down in AB when I think of an idea for a melody, without having to create a whole Xequence project.
Don’t really wanna buy an app that’s not being updated though.
Edit: just looking through the midi au apps on my phone, beathawk looks like it might be an easy solution to this.
It’s not abandoned, just had some major setbacks due to things that had to be re-written. Safe to buy, and works well for what you want it for. Plus, it’s really easy to stick X2 into AB later to capture the Atom output if you do come up with something worth developing further.
https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/34815/about-atom-audioveek-where-we-are-and-whats-next/
Just FYI, beathawk with midi out enabled works really well. None of the features of atom probably but fine for a my needs
Hi Wim. How fo you send project from Atom to Xequence. Thanks.
@gregsmith Photon is another midi recorder option since it records midi cc as well. Atom is better at being a piano roll.
You just need to set X2 in a midi output position in Audiobus, with Atom as the sender.
For instance, if you had Atom in the input position and Phasemaker in the output, then one way would be to simply add X2 next to Phasemaker in the same lane. Make sure Link Start/Stop is enabled in Audiobus and X2, and press record in X2. Atom should play back and the notes should be recorded in X2. At that point, you could add X2 to the input slot, or another input slot, and stop or remove Atom.
Sorry, that's a generalized description and might not be clear, but before I do screen-shots or anything, it would be better if I understood how you're set up. A screenshot would help me give more specific advice.
