    Thank you so much <3

  • We want some more templates. I was trying to get a template setup for King Key, but the generic Midi 8 seems to cover pretty much everything.

  • Have you had other problems eith ApeMatrix under iOs 18?

    For the first time I'm finding AM not entirely reliable. Apps not loading, not working (FabFilter effects) etc.

    No luck contacting dev, and I'm curious about others' experiences.

    I am having some issues since the last iOS update (18) with Octachron in Apematrix. It doesn’t save the ‘mute’ settings behind the lanes anymore. After a restart of Apematrix and loading my preset, all mutes are gone. Even after saving inside Octachron it doesn’t remember what’s muted and what not.

    Did not try the Octachron update yet (bought mKer for my sequencing) but no issues with other apps (besides Fabfilter) in Apematrix. Apematrix does need an update imo, there are small little things I would like to see an update on, but I honestly don’t expect much from the developer. I guess no matter what you are working with, nothing is perfect, but I am so used to Apematrix that I find it hard to switch to something new.

  • Ape Matrix UI gave me autism. Their shit is on another level though.

  • Quick question: is it possible to use Ochtachron for one-shot?

    Like : send midi cc ==> the sequence plays just once

    I remember I had the same feeling when I started working with Apematrix. I just could not get my head around it, a matrix and dots, how the hell does this thing work! But after a little help here it was like.. ah! Once you get it it’s just dead simple and fast.

  • Started with AUM, and bought ApeMatrix on a whim.
    Now when I dip back into AUM, I instantly want that Matrix back. The integrated LFOs, and being able to access 10 apps on one screen… Those two things alone are worth the price to me easily, and there's much more too. I hope it lasts for years still. It's well worth the small amount of money and modest amount of time it takes to lesrn...

    Thank you very much! And if you have some time, and think we are a 5 star, a little nice review on the App Store would be absolutely awesome. This just helps us so much ✌️😊

    But anyway enjoy!

    No, not yet, but we will put it on our list 🙂

    But if you have some time, and still think OCTACHRON is a 5 star, it would be really great if you could leave us a little nice review on the App Store. Of course you can also place your wish for that feature there. This just helps us so much. But anyway, keep enjoying!✌️😊

  • Hey @nickpett super sorry to hear that you have issues loading your session. Do I get you right that you're trying to load a AUM set and Octachron crashes during loading? I'd love to help you on that but right now have no clue what the issue could be. Would it be possible for you to share one of your AUM sessions that fails for you? That would immensely help me reproducing the issue. You can share it maybe as a private message with me or @TasTax.

    Markus

    Thank Markus. I’ve been away so sorry for slow reply. I will drop you a message. All the best Nick

  • @nickpett @TasTax I was just about to report that I am now also having the problem loading Octachron in saved AUM projects. In order to demo the problem as simply as possible, I created a new project, added one instance of Octachron, entered a few notes, then saved the session. When I closed AUM, re-opened it, then reloaded the last state, it came up normally. I then found that the rest of the projects also now load normally again.

    So… you might see if this order of operations also helps you?

    It is terrifying, though. I’ve some to rely on this.

    Sorry if this has already been brought up somewhere. I’m currently experiencing an oddment where if I load two instances of Octachron, they are forced to share midi maps. Loading a map switches the map in the other.

    I’m using the latest version of Octachron, on the latest version of iOS 17 (not 18).

    here are screenshots.

    First is just a pic of the two instances loaded in AUM.

    Second is the two side by side opened up. The first has been loaded with General Midi 16, and the other remains at default.

    Third is after loading the second with Korg Gadget Recife map.

    Now… this is where it happens. The fourth shows both after I’ve hit the play button in AUM. That’s the moment the switch takes effect.

    Heyhey @pseudophysics ,

    Thank you so much for your support. If you are also running iOS 17,
    Can you maybe tell us if you have the same issue as @garden ?

    That would be great
    Thx and best greetings from Munich 😊

    Hello @TasTax ,

    Love love Octachron, sadly I'm having the same problem since the last update (also ios17 here, running AUM) - midi maps switching upon pressing 'play'.

    What also happens is when I reload the correct map on one Octachron, it changes over the maps of all the others in a kind of tug-of-war (I was sequencing Pure Acid drums, Ruismaker, Koala and Patterning from four Octachrons). Only one midi map can be used at a time, I haven't found any way to keep them from switching. Fingers crossed this could be patched up soon!

    Have also started having some crashes upon loading projects - sometimes needing to re-load 2 or 3 times.

    EDIT: Now have one project where all 4 instances of Octachron crash upon loading 100% of the time. Was getting ready to mix down this one, hope those sequences are still in there somewhere.

  • Finally had some time to check Octachron in Apematrix, and the bugs seem gone. Many thanks @TasTax

    Cool, great to hear that. Thanks! 😊

  • @reinerspass @TasTax
    I've been away from music making / Octachron for a bit, and I'm loving the improvements that you've made in the interim. Back in May 0f 2023 I asked a question in this thread about triggering patterns in an Octachron guest via MIDI, and at that time this wasn't possible. I've been trying to get that working again today (in BAM this time, it was Drambo last year), and it appears to be the case that this still isn't possible.

    Do you guys have plans to implement this feature at any point? I love Octachron, but my only real use for it is inside of hosts like Drambo and BAM.

    Thank you, and I guess as you know it is already possible standalone.
    But we plan to do it within the plug-in as well. But next new features are offset and clock divider per track allowing e.g. triplets. Hope you will like this as well.

    Keep enjoying and best greetings from Munich 🙂

    Really please to hear offset and clock divider are next up! MIDI triggered patterns sounds good too.

  • Ok so what about this

    1. Cubasis 3
    2. One shot
    3. Autofills
    4. Octachron

    Let’s say bar 1-20 is 4/4 100bpm
    Bar 21-40 is 6/8 90 bpm

    How do you have Octachron plays the 4/4 section for bar 1-20 and then how do you have 6/8 engage at bar 21 and disable 4/4

    Iow, how do you compensate for different rhythms and changes ?

  • @TasTax and anyone else who’s having the “crashes when loading a session” issue: I have what appears to be a viable workaround for now. I’ve created a session that has nothing but a single instance of Octachron. If I load a session and get the crash, I immediately load this single-instance session, in which Octachron seems to reliably load without incident. I then reload the original session, and Octachron behaves. Hopefully this info might also assist troubleshooting.

    well, i just load a session again and again until it works :)

  • @pseudophysics My experience is that if you keep AUM open while switching or reloading sessions (except for the workaround I just mentioned), it works fine. But when I come back to a session after some downtime, I have a better than 50% chance of it failing, and needing to implement the workaround. No idea why. My setup isn’t particularly exotic, and I’m on a reasonably hefty Pro running the latest iOS 17.

    Awesome :) thanks for the reply. So nice to be able to be in touch with devs like yall on here. Good luck with the fixes!

  • @TasTax Heya, a little request… If you have the hood up anyway on Octa, I’d love to see more options in the trig conditions. Mainly elektron style NOT options for each time variation.

  • Using primarily with Gladstone, Oneshot atm- not a single session in aum gets created without our anchORON. Thanks again for the dopest universal drum sequencer on iOS(imo)
