    Is a panning option even possible? That would be awesome.

    That's only possible if the target app supports panning and you send the needed CC to it. You can't directly pan something using MIDI.

    CC 10 is generally considered Pan in midi implementations. However, not many apps support it, and also, there would need to be some indicator of which sound to pan.

    If an app has midi learn, then you could set up a CC to pan what you like. Or, if it exposes parameters for panning, you could route CC's to the host's midi control system for panning.

    If an app does support panning and it's in Octachron's presets, there's a chance that it has that parameter already mapped.

    Right, thanks Wim.
    Another way I do it now is in Apematrix I can set a synced lfo on a pan parameter in, for example Sitala’s pan.

    Hello @TasTax. Any chance that you implement a way to export patterns? (as midi or preset that I can open on another device).

    Yes, we have that on our list, but I fear we won’t be able to implement it too soon at the moment. I am sorry.

    Hi @TasTax, from another thread- the beta version 2.1.0 (205) when hosted in the loopy pro beta does not quite function correctly.

    When loaded as a midi au in loopy, and a “button widget” is assigned to the param “octachron mute track 1” (for example), nothing happens when the button widget state is toggled.

    When the app store version of octa is hosted as a midi au in loopy, the same action allows for octa track 1 to be muted via the button widget state, and everything works as expected.

    Hopefully this makes sense?

    OK thx, we will check this!

    @TasTax Hiya, this thread is very long and search doesn't not work as it should, so: I'm curious, and surprised why there are no app map for BeatHawk (Uvi)? Is it possible to get one implemented? Thanks for a great app either way.

    Do you mean the Drum Kit IAP in BeatHawk or playing each individual pad in BeatHawk?

    Hmm, I have pretty much only used the acoustic kit but after OneShot killed my interest in those, I thought I wanna try some of their electronic kits. I guess they're mapped like the acoustic? Does that answer your question.

    I do go in under apps in Octachron to look for a suitable map

    General MIDI 16 should work well. I've only tried with the Acoustic Kit though.

    Yeah that's what I thought as well but it doesn't get it right.

    It works right for the Acoustic kit, so that means that the EDM kits are particular. I'm not sure it would be practical for an app to include maps for individual IAPs. You can customize and save your own presets using the GM map as basis though.

    Yeah I know I was just surprised BeatHawk had no representation at all and hoped maybe someone had made one or the other. Thanks anyway!

    Yes, actually we don’t own BeatHawk yet.
    But if somebody does a mapping and shares it here, we are very happy to integrate it in OCTACHRON!

    My wishlist:

    1. One Track sliding option. When you slide your finger it only affect the firstly touched track. No accidental steps to other tracks this way.

    2. Partial track randomization: Sliding your finger eg. from 1-7th steps of the 16steps track. After sliding, while holding your finger on 7th step you touch the screen anywhere with an other finger getting random steps on every hit.

    Same mechanism shown for a moment from 01:50

    Ok thx, we will think about that. But you know that you can randomize single tracks with the menu after tap and hold on the left side of the track, no? 🙂

    Appreciate that. We'll see where it lands. There a few maps that's "almost" there so..

  • gardengarden

    @TasTax Apologies if this request has popped up earlier in this very long thread. I know it would sort of go against the core esthetic, but might there be any chance of expanding the maximum number of tracks? I was tinkering with OneShot this morning and found that a kit I wanted to use has 19 slots.

    Hi, is it still not possible to change patterns in AUv3 with a CC or a specific note?

    You can do it using AUv3 parameters if you're running in a host.

    AUM Example:

    Thanks, I know, but I need to change pattern from external controller.

    That makes no difference. Just route the external controller to MIDI Control.

    @xain - what host are you using?

    No, I'm a keyboardist, and with camelot I've a setlist with all songs. I need to use a drum machine, sequenced by Octachron only on some songs. Camelot Pro clear memory every time you change song in setlist and send program change to my keyboards and load only AUv3 used in the selected song.
    If I use Ochtachron standalone, it remain always active.

    Could you not just load a preset from Camelot with no sequence or just switch to an empty pattern when you don't need it though? It doesn't really matter if Octachron is active if it's not doing anything.

    @TasTax Good stuff!

  • drconfusiondrconfusion

    SUPER excited to start to work the octachron more with the new offset function & ditch logic’s very confusing step sequencer now!

  • MJKLZMJKLZ

    Wanted the offset for ages, but I’m finding the app not working playing along to transport with Logic Pro? (Updated and opening existing project it was in).

  • skiphuntskiphunt

    Hey, I vaguely remember someone making a demo video showing how they used Octachron for effects similar to Sugarbytes Effectrix. I didn't save the link unfortunately. I might've seen it linked to on FB.

    Does anyone remember that and have the link to the video?

    Or, I could be mistaken.

    Yes! Thanks!!!

    I want to try this out on other midi cc effects apps too... just wanted a refreshed of how he set it up :)

    What an update today!

  • ermwhishermwhish

    @TasTax thanks for an amazing update - offset is huge for me :)

    am getting one bug since the update though - sometimes Octachron just stops playing. (AUM, ipadOS 17). starting and stopping transport or switching patterns doesn't fix it. If I eject and reload Octachron and the preset it plays fine for a while; not sure what causes it to stop.
