Can't blame all you guys for wanting a piece of BM3's sampling beauty in your own DAW of choice.
However, it's really not as simple as separating the sampler from the host. The two are completely intertwined, for example BM3's wonderfully deep and multi-layered midi patterns that allow blending rhythmic, sliced, and pitched note, pad and bank control.
The joy of BM3 is the relationship between its super-precise and low-CPU native Sampler, pads (and their plugins), Banks, and the unifying midi patterns that are able to orchestrate the whole thing (as @AudioGus neatly illustrates above). In fact, I feel slightly offended (on behalf of Intua) at all the casual suggestion in this thread that BM3 is somewhat lesser of a DAW than these other hosts, and that the only thing you really want from it is the sampler.
In other words...
"You want the candy, you have to dance with Mandy"
(ie ditch all those puny pre-school apps and come learn the king of iOS DAWs)
I am hoping Samplist goes AU when the AudioKit AU code is ready.
I hope he adds in transient detection, too.
This seems way more possible, considering what @wim wrote a little earlier. I agree with him, this seems like a crazy request of Intua.
@tk32 thats fair. But no one is suggesting that BM3 is less of a DAW than others. It's on the Mount Rushmore of iPad Daws, and extremely versatile. But it's Pad and left hand section is done exceptionally well and it'd be nice to be able to incorporate that into other workflows, for a multitude of reasons, MPE in Cubasis, SpinFx in Cubasis, Obsidian in NS2 etc, without needing to bounce the audio out and import it into BM3. So the wishing is more about the lack of in terms of the pads/sampler feature-set in other daws or iOS samplers in general, not the lack of in BM3.
I’m probably stilll misunderstanding you, but if not, then no, this isn’t a problem. Apps like Rozeta, Photon, Ruismaker Noir, and the upcoming AudioVeek AU piano roll, can receive, store, and generate their own midi.
NS 2bis broken in this regard right now, but will be fixed.
I agree. The distance between BM3 being the perfect production tool for me is a few minor tweaks that have been underway for some time. I hope they take their time and get it right.
The good thing about this discussion is the possibility that some talented developer may be inspired to create something like this by the interest shown here.
Wouldn’t be the first time that has happened.
Tell me all about it. Im on the fence right now with regards to getting BM3 . What’s the deal?
OH, are you imagining a BM3 AU would have a piano roll? Hmmm, I wasn’t thinking that. That would not really be interesting to me. I would want it to receive notes from the host.
@tk32 there is really nothing to be offended by, its a discussion.
It won’t offend me if this doesn’t happen.
Its hypothetical speculation and thought.
Maybe samplist will take up this duty soon?!
My point is there’s no reason it couldn’t do both. For instance, BeatHawk is an AU. You can use the host to play pads, or to play notes within a pad, and there’s an internal piano roll you can record to, edit, or play back. But yeah, the pattern sequencer within the app is unnecessary, and I would prefer to not have it either. Just the kick-ass sampler and pads, with the ability to play notes within a pad as well.
I’ll give Beathawk a try. I can’t understand how a host that can send notes to an AU would be able to trigger pads and notes within pads at the same time.
Beathawk has different settings you can use depending on what you want to do. You can play pads each on it’s own midi channel. Or, if you open up a pad so that the keyboard appears then you can play notes. You can also set it so that all midi is sent only to the currently selected pad. I won’t try to describe it in detail here. I think you’ll get the idea.
GR-16 works similarly, though not AU.
Lol, so sounds like how I said BM3 as an AU would have to work.
Not in OMNI mode. Each pad is on its own midi channel, so you just send notes on various channels to play each pad. There’s a base note for the pad to play non-pitched but I forget what it is.
But a host can’t send multiple midi channels to the same AU can it?
Yes with AUM you can route as many Midi sources as you like to BeatHawk. Anything that’s on Ch1 gets sent to BH pad 1, channel 2 to pad2 and so on ..... it’s cool that if you then route each BeatHawk pad out to AUs in AUM you can sequence them as well as BH internal sounds.
If only BH recorded audio as well haha.
Well, it depends on how you work . I suggest buying it when you have plenty of time playing with it ,but on first bug you come, ask for refund cause Intua is very slow in development. That means forget new features.
Maybe things will change next day , don't know what are their plans.
For sure ,right now forget transient slicing and working with dozens automations .Oh and Rozeta midi plugins. There are workarounds but workarounds kill workflow....
Why not? It depends on the host, but normally it can
Sounds like the more modular ones like AUM can (maybe ape matrix too?) but most classic timeline based ones like NS2 and Cubasis can’t. Anywho, speculative rabbit hole anyway.
The sampler and scenes view in BM3 will make it extremely hard for me to leave. Also the 16 pad layout works so well with my Novation Launchkey Mini. I have an entire workflow down. I do wish BM3 was a little more stable and wouldn't crash as much. Doesn't happen as often as it used to but still happens every now and then
If Intua released a playback only auv3 sampler I’d buy it.
I wouldn’t mind having to use BM3 to make presets but it would be great having access to those sampler patches outside BM3.
It would be a simple way to massively simplify the auv3 and avoid file import issues from the host, etc. It would mean more to and froing between apps but that’s the iOS way ;-)
I could imagine bouncing a track in the host DAW, importing into BM3 to slice , save the patch then access the sampler back in the host. Playback parameters could all be in the auv3 so you’d need BM3 to make patches and I’m sure they could make a boatload of iap content for it too so you could just use it as a rompler and sample based drum machine if you didn’t want BM3 too.
Just a thought :-)
I’d like to think that being an update is taking so long that it will be beyond our wildest expectations when it finally hits.
Let’s just hope it’s hella more stable.
