    Swing would be really great for this.

    I wonder how hard it is to make it slow down during the strum to sound more natural.
    Like when you play a piano or a guitar, often the strum of a chord slows down as it gets near the end of the strum.

    Makes me wonder if you could have an accelerator or de- accelerator % dial ?

    Another great Bud app :)

    I'm calculating an offset according to the number of incoming notes, that's why I'm getting offset as a percentage from the user.
    But the offset is applied equally to each note, so the distance between them is equal.

    The new build #5 is ready, it will be available on the testflight very soon.

    • Crash on transpose change while running is fixed.
    • Record mode went all the way down on the mode list.
    • Record mode UI improved (End button is Done button now and highlighted).
    • Some funny behavior when changing some settings while running is fixed.
    • Strum mode added with Strum order and Strum offset selection UI.
    • Snapshots are showing their index number on themselves now, so you will know which MIDI CC value they have.
    • Made some optimizations on DSP code, for better performance.

    Just had a quick five minutes play before bed with the new update. No more crashes changing transpose on the fly, strum is fun great stuff !

    I did have one moment when the rhythm marker indicater wasn’t moving even though play was selected in AUM. Does it move in all modes?

    I Done a clean install ScaleBud now working no problems strange that.

    Just a thought would it not be more natural to move the height of each rhythm block up and down to change the transpose and velocity parameters rather than having a slider at the bottom? Or is it a universal thing with all your apps ?

    Everything seems to work correctly in AUM now.

    If could be possible to generate a sequence with the snapshots like a kind of “song mode” should be very useful.

    Great news! For song mode, I think the best way is using a MIDI CC sequencer (StepBud does it) and sending commands to the RhythmBud's snapshot channel. I might actually think about a "end trigger" system that would trigger when the playhead hits the end of the timeline and let you load a snapshot etc. 🧐

  • cem_olcaycem_olcay

    Well, they are playing great together with StepBud! I just recorded a quick video RhythmBud and StepBud sequencing Mother-32!

    @cem_olcay any chance of 64th? - 128? :|
    For working in slower BPM's - 32 is not enough...

    Want!

    No...

    NEED.

    Cool idea for an app!

    -So I’m the random guy - would like to see the option to create random rhythms and also parameter randomization.
    -For velocity, it would be handy if you could draw it across the rhythms parts.
    - I have been testing it on drums also (well it is called RhythmBud!) and if there was a step up \ step down option for the selected keyboard notes then it would be very usable with drum AUs. E.g you put a hold on the keyboard notes that trigger the drum channels and then create your rhythm with step up/step down to trigger each note (like Transpose but only for the held down notes). It actually has potential as a percussion sequencer if you increased the ratchet options and put acceleration/deceleration options in the strum as requested above.

    Just some ideas :smile:

    I have released a new testflight build today. I'm planning to release this version if I don't get any bug reports.
    After a few weeks, I finally wrote a description of the app. I hope it's making sense, here it is:

    RhythmBud is a MIDI effect application that would transform incoming MIDI messages into the rhythmic pattern you will create on its editor. Supports AUv3 Audio Unit plugin, Audiobus, Ableton Link and Core MIDI (Standalone).

    It sits between a MIDI sender (an external hardware or any MIDI controller/sequencer app) and a MIDI receiver (any audio app or external hardware). As long as you connect its MIDI input and output you are good to go.

    It has a pretty easy-to-use timeline editor, where you can create rhythm patterns. You may add different effects for your each pattern by tapping them on the timeline, such as strumming effects, arpeggios, transposition, velocity manipulation, ratchets and so on.

    When you are ready, press the play button and start the RhythmBud engine. As long as it receives MIDI notes, it will generate your rhythm pattern and send it to your assigned MIDI output port. Even if you change the playing note/chord, it will adapt instantly!

    It has a neat feature called “Snapshots” where you can save the current RhythmBud configuration instantly and come back later. You may also control your snapshots via MIDI CC messages or Audio Unit Parameters. You can create a whole song with that feature in your project. It’s also supports “User Presets” in AUv3 mode.

    Another great feature is the “Record Mode” where you can record a pattern by tapping the toolbar—like clapping your hands or snapping your fingers for creating a rhythm pattern! Press the “Done” button when you are done.

    If you are not happy, you can always undo/redo your actions as well. You can also quantise your pattern on different timing levels. If you want to clear everything and start over again, just press the clear button.

    RhythmBud is using free and open-source AudioKit framework under the hood. Also, it offers some other open-source frameworks as well. Check them out on GitHub!


    AudioKit: https://github.com/AudioKit/AudioKit
    MusicTheorySwift: https://github.com/cemolcay/MusicTheory
    MIDIEventKit: https://github.com/cemolcay/MIDIEventKit
    RBEditorViewController: https://github.com/cemolcay/RBEditorViewController

    *** Disclaimer: This is not an audio app! It does not generate audio. This is a MIDI effect app that needs both MIDI input and MIDI output routing. It does not transform the MIDI until you creating a pattern and pressing the play button.

    Sorry to bother you again with the ratchet mode, but I still have problems with it.

    Thanks for the video. Is that the latest build on testflight? I've been testing on my devices but never experienced something like happening you between 0:17 - 0:29. Does it also happening with your other synths as well? Anyone else experienced this?

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Yes, I updated to the latest build today. I tried with KQDixie, D1, iSem and Zeeon, with different presets.
    It always happens the same, after a couple of loops, it starts to lose some beats randomly.

  • kc2dptkc2dpt

    Same here; sometimes it doesn’t trigger when it should.
