I’m not supposed to say anything, but the delays have been primarily due to longer than expected development time for the Blackberry version.
I always wondered why your username was so similar to RIM
Going incognito?
Nah. I just have twouble saying the lettewuh “aww”.
I think if NS2 ever gets Y velocity on the pads (which it already supports in the single pad view so it should be possible to do in the 16 pad layout as well), and also note repeat, then it should be just as good as BM3 for finger drumming.
I think NS2 is closer to being the ideal in terms of combining great pads with a great sequencer, because the sequencer in BM3 really leaves a lot to be desired IMO, I really don't enjoy using it. The pads and the left-hand functions are great though, and of course the sampler is in a league of its own.
Xequence AU Pads is a delight to use in NS2. Velocity options, and all the easy configurability you could desire. Now we just need AUv3 midi recording to work in NS2 and BM3.
AUv3 MIDI recording works in BM3 if you load Audioveek's MIDI Route (part of his MIDI Tools suite) onto the pad you want to record.
It listens to the MIDI generated by all the plugins before it in the chain and then directs all notes into the MIDI pattern when recording. For example, you can use this technique to capture arpeggios generated by a MIDI plugin like Rozeta.
They are also lots of hints that full MIDI plugin recording will be available natively in the next BM3 update
Yes this should be a great option in the future, once NS2 is capable of actually recording the MIDI
For the time being I just use Xequence standalone to record the finger drumming (because it supports Y velocity). But it's a hassle having to switch apps after pressing record and also not being able to see the controls etc... Once the AU is usable it will be much better.
I wonder if the AudioVeek workaround also works in NS2?
What he said and also the blackberry version @wim mentioned.
Matthieu is hard at work getting stuff done in BM3. A little patience and no stress on the update release is all he asks for.
@wim @SevenSystems cheers for the heads up ref. Xequence drum pads looks cool. Trying to find video tutorials but none . Seven systems are there any videos online . Iam thinking to use the app with GrooveRider and iMPC PRO2 and as an app for my toolbox but need to know if each pad can be used as seperate tracks and if the app has SWING or just Quantize?
EDIT : i think xequence is more what I need so can do midi routing and sequencing as long as there is SWING which Iam not sure?
@stormbeats there's a few videos online from @gmslayton, I think one is specifically about the keyboard and pads (inside Xequence, not the AU).
And yes, Xequence has non-destructive swing, can be set with a slider per arranger track.
However, in Xequence, all pads of a single pad set are bound to the same track and MIDI channel/destination.
In Xequence AU | Pads, each pad can have its own MIDI channel and thus routed to separate instruments as desired, by using the channel filtering options of the host (eg. AUM).
@SevenSystems ok thanks for info.
@SevenSystems does Drum Pads app have more than one pad bank?
@gmslayton hi if possible can you insert your youtube link as Seven System said you might have some videos on Xequnce and Xequence Drum Pads? Thanks in advance
@stormbeats Here is my Xequence playlist.
@gmslayton cheers yes found it earlier Good tutorial. I didnt realise you were AudioDabbler. Thanks
@stormbeats awesome. and yes, I was very horrible at branding initially, still am not great at it, and I already had my handle on here when I created my youtube channel and did not feel like changing it.
Since each pad can have it’s own midi channel, and since you can set up just about any size grid, it can be as-if there are multiple pad banks. (Note, this is in the Pads AU, not in Xequence, which can only have one midi channel per bank). For instance, here is my setup for playing all three Ruismaker apps. The Ruismaker pads send on midi channel 10, FM on 11, Noir on 12. In Audiobus mfxStrip is needed to filter for only that channel, but in AUM it’s built in.
Of course, you don’t have to combine apps all in one instance since you can have as many instances as you want.

Function over form!
@SevenSystems thanks for the info Very much appreciated
@SevenSystems is the swing function available in the drum pads app or just xequence?
On a side note, using an app called mfxConvert, you can translate Xequence single-channel output into multiple channels for controlling GR-16. I can post an AB3 session if you’re interested. But since this is a BM3 thread I’ll stop sidetracking here ...
@gmslayton no worries thanks dude
@wim thanks that would be cool Just realised you posted the info above Thanks
@stormbeats, no problem. Here ya’ go...

@richardyot :That’s good to know as I haven’t delved too deeply into the BM3 sequencer . I just assumed it was on par with NS2: Apparently not. Xequence would be ideal for me except for the fact that I can’t insert the once in a while odd meter bar .. @SevenSystems has indicated that there’s no way to remedy this unfortunately.
@wim brilliant thanks :-)
@wim Does this mean each pad will have its own track If possible can you upload a screenshot. Iam thinking I can than route each GR track/pad from Xequence into seperate tracks into bm3 which can then give GR effects per pad though I think @SevenSystems said pad seperates can only be applied in the drums app. Anyway Iam hogging the bm3 thread so will experiment a bit.
Cool
Pads doesn't do any automated playing or sequencing, so there's no swing function...
Ok cool
I think you’re misunderstanding. Pads doesn’t do anything to audio. It only sends midi to apps. Think of it like a hardware midi controller, except that it’s on your device. GR-16 doesn’t send multiple audio outputs, so the audio can’t be split among pads in BM3. For that you’d need to lobby Jim Pavlov to add multiple Audiobus / IAA outputs to GR-16.
