    Can you make the faders taller in the mixer?

    Are you asking if this is possible for users to do, or making a feature request? If the former, then the answer is no.

    Increasing the interface scaling makes them somewhat bigger - along with everything else.

    Yes, the former. Thanks.

    @tahiche .. no sends yet for individual hits, but you can add FX on individual hits... you can also do automation on each hit as well. I think that I asked the devs about the sends and it might be on a roadmap somewhere, but I could be wrong. Depending on how complicated your drum pattern is you could always have multiple kits and have the sends that way.... I hope I am making sense as I have been up for way too long.

    CPU usage sort of 😱 having a whole drum kit just for a snare makes me shiver. And it might be total nonsense, having a drum kit with just one piece could very well not provide extra strain, it might be psychological.

    I get you..... I would not do it as well. I am hoping that we can get a sends for each pad. But I have been using some of the internal FX more to shape some sounds..... worked out well on my track I posted earlier.

    I found a workaround, if you own Ape Matrix. Ape comes with some free FX that you can use in any host. One is called Mixer Send Receive.

    Create a send track (using the plus sign in the track area, not from the drum channel itself) and add the plugin as the first FX. Now in the drum track, add the plugin on the pads that you want to bus. Now turn the post gain all the way off. This will send the pad to the send track. You can also make use of the post gain as a dry / wet mix.

    Mixer Send Receive has 16 busses. All you need to do is make sure both ends are set to the same bus to send any where you want.

    Nice one @wim 😎👍🏼

    @gusgranite i agree . Zen is cool. If they can add what Iscreen capture

    @gusgranite @MatthewAtZenbeats cubasis3 can resize mixer by touch then dragging up / down on screen . This would be good in Zen

  • I’ve asked a couples of times whether a portrait oriented iPhone version would be possible, there was a vague interest shown when I asked in the class but had no response from the requested email @MatthewAtZenbeats

    Mainly because it’s nice to just sit comfortably one handedly making beats and stuff to get deeper with later on the iPad, or maybe even desktop...

  • One tip if it hasn’t been mentioned. I was going crazy because I could not get the automation icon to show when tapping the meters. I knew I had seen the icon before so I looked in every nook and cranny of the app but it was gone. It turns out that when you minimize the track height then you cannot access the automation or the record arm features. iPad Pro 10.5

    It’s hard to find an answer in this thread...

    I opened a new song, deleted the Drum track, then added two instrument tracks. I decided I want the Drum track after all. It lets me add a Drum track, but I can’t find any way to get to it to load kit/pattern presets. Was it a no-no to delete the drum track? For now my workaround is going to be never to delete the initial Drum track, but it doesn’t make sense that I can’t re-add it once it’s been deleted. Someone may have talked about this earlier in the thread, but I didn’t see it.

    I tried a new song, which automatically opened with a Drum track. I tried adding a second Drum track, and it let me do it, but I couldn’t get to the pattern editor for the second one.

    Edit:
    If I imported a dummy midi file to the Drum track, then Zen let me open the Drum machine and I could pick a kit and pattern. I think the behavior is a bit strange...

  • If you're in clip-builder view then double-tap the first clip. If in the timeline view, double-tap the timeline to add a clip, then double-tap to open it.

    Once you have a clip open, you'll see the two selectors for drum kit and pattern.

    Thx. My edit was about just that thing. Appreciate your attention!

  • Multi-Track passed the scan, but crashes Zenbeats every time I try to add it as an Audio Effect.

  • Yep. Reported to Zenbeats team a couple weeks ago.
    I don’t see any use for it in Zenbeats myself, though.

  • Question about exporting stems:

    If i export stems and say i have audio effects on the master track do those effects get printed on the stems?

    Yes.

  • Oh ok thanks!
    Gonna try exporting stems to Auria amd see how that works.

  • There’ s a project comments section for each project in Nanostudio2. Is there a like feature in Zenbeats?

    I dont think so..... but that is a good idea..... as unlike @wim I forget what I am doing all the time when I come back to a project.. :-P

  • Is it not possible to send Midi to Zenbeats from IAA apps? I tried with Touchscaper (using network session, only option I found), no success.

    Other than that, pretty impressed with Zenbeats lately. I re-downloaded it after seeing some videos posted here lately. Must admit I deleted Zb/Stagelight earlier because it was butt ugly and too big, but liking it now. Good automation drawing support, and printing of midi fx to the clips, and audio clip arrangement.

  • Would love to see a “probability” function included in the drum pattern editor for randomising whether a drum hit plays or not, would be very cool for adding improv capabilities.

    It’s been requested. Also automation of attack and decay. They responded that those were good suggestions.

    Fantastic, thanks for the info!

    It's definitely possible to send midi to Zenbeats from IAA apps. If the app exposes its own virtual port then Zenbeats should be able to see it. If not, then its a little trickier because Zenbeats doesn't expose a virtual port for the other app to "see". In that case, you might need to "bridge" it with Audiobus or something like MidiFire.

    What that means is, for instance:

    • Start up Audiobus and and Virtual Midi as a Midi input. In the same lane, add Virtual Midi as the output.
    • Tell the sending app to send to Audiobus Virtual Midi
    • Tell Zenbeats to accept Midi from Audiobus.

    or:

    • Start up MidiFire and add a MidiFire input node and MidiFire output node. Connect them together.
    • Tell the sending app to send to MidiFire
    • Tell Zenbeats to accept Midi from MidiFire.

    Most apps should work without those workarounds though.

    Be sure that Zenbeats has Background Audio enabled. Or none of the above will work.

    (Disclaimer: I don't have Touchscaper, so I'm only throwing out theory based on what works with other IAA apps.)

  • Thanks. I'm not sure what was wrong last time; when retrying now, Zenbeats actually sees all the Touchscaper ports directly. I thought it was the enabling of background audio trick (so long since one had to remember that ...), as it was the only difference. But trying again wihtout background audio also worked, so I'm not sure. Maybe it was a Touchscaper issue.

    So, Zenbeats recorded all Touchscaper chords plus MPE aftertouch, and let me edit the aftertouch afterwards. Great!

    I think you would like Touchscaper, @wim. It´s pretty great for many things.

  • Ya, looks good. It seems a bit like TC-11 / TC-Data but a bit more immediately comprehensible.

  • It is definitely immediate. Perfect MPE controller for moog apps and Continua. Good sequencer with some unusual features. Good internal sounds. Saving is a bit messy, but it’ll be addressed.

  • Is it possible to use the Launchpad for midi launching the clips inside Zenbeats?

  • @BroCoast said:

    Not directly. You can put the sample in Sampleverse and automate pitch bend.

  • Anyone tried importing a Piano Motif midi file into Zenbeats? I just got a blank clip without any notes, with the vertical scrollbar becoming tiny (and left piano keys just a single white block). Could perhaps be this format 0 vs format 1 issue with midi files?

    Are you importing in linear mode?



  • I have to do it from the main page. I always get 2 midi files that have the data in them..... Does the same thing in Xequence.
