Is there a duration setting? Some synths have trouble if a note off and note on of the same pitch are close together in time.
No worries and I'm with you on the twiddling, maybe it'll get looked at sometime...
So, I guess you can’t enter a note more than 16 steps long?
Correct. Fixed to its grid. So odd that it was implemented as such a rigid Step Sequencer. It’s also annoying that you only have access to 2.5 or so octaves.
But hey...limitations breed innovation for artists right? 🤪
Odd. Every 6-8 measures on a long note (16 beats), it randomly plays an extra note.
Argh. Global scale choice. Can’t even change for one channel to allow for something like Ruismaker. And changing scale re-pitches the whole song.
I have only done this once before ... but this one is going back.
I should have done my homework better.
Well, I think it will be great is there were single channel > @wim said:
Would it make a difference if you were to open another instance to have another scale (Auv3)?
I think it should be single Track, with the ability to ‘add’ more Tracks..
Edit.. Could be nice if the Randomizer would do ‘monophonic’ note generation also..
TBH, if DK never did anything else, it was worth my $10... I know there could be glitches etc, but after being familiar with MultiTrack, it was a quick study. Its internal sounds aren’t bad either. It took maybe 5 minutes to have a rhythm and guitar pattern going that could easily become something interesting. I’ll have to play a bit with song mode, but I expect that will be fairly easy. I like it!
ok imma probably try this one but i don’t know if it’ll be able to touch the all powerful SPA! i’ve created entire sequenced tracks with spa alone with in aum
What is spa?
For my usage Digikeys is not usable init's curent sate. (pattern length, few octave, few CC )
Instead I’m using Beathawk as sequencer for AUM, not the perfect workflow but it cover all the basic to create full song in AUM.
I also use Beathawk to trigger EG pulse samples, Eg pulse allow drag and drop of samples and has a realtime time stretch )
Steppolyarp! a very good sequencer/ arpeggiator that lets you create patterns and chain em really easy... it’s the best thing midi on ios imo
Sure, I know I could do that, but for some reason I can’t put my finger on the whole thing just completely turns me off. I don’t fault the app, but something about it just bugs me. It’s very unusual for me to instantly dislike something this way for no real reason.
I’ll just say bye bye to the thread now so as not to further rain on people’s parade. I hope the app does well and inspires lotsa good stuff.
Another example for devs to interact with experienced beta testers and ideas guys in pre production stage.
The intentions are great though ;-)
how long are the patterns allowed to be??? and can you automate like the synths filters n stuff??
i just can’t tell if i need it with spa!
32 steps x 24 patterns.
As I actually understand the program You can not automate synth parameters, but maybe I am missing something.
Got this last night. Fun so far, but there are some limitations. Song mode and randomization are both great, but being to control things with midi cc like mutes and velocity faders would take take this to the next level.
I don't mind the global scale. Using this melodically. I have at least 3 other AUs I can use to midi sequence drums. Don't need one solution for everything.
Yeah think I’d get this if it had midi CCs for the velocity faders etc, not really interested in the built in synth. Might wait and see what the updates bring..
32 steps 😫 but i can probably work with it , i just use long pad/droney notes a lot hehe, thanks for the info man
It has a clock divider for 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 of bpm, so that could work for experimenting.
Does anyone know how to rename pads? I’m certain I’ve done this before but now can’t remember. I’ve mapped the top row of pads to Ruismaker through midi mapping but can’t see how to rename the names of the pads to correspond to Ruismaker. Any help much appreciated. I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last 15 minutes!
EDIT: sorry, I’m referring to DigiStix here, not DigiKeys. I’d still love an answer, though
Scroll down to the bottom where it displays the waveform. There's a Rename button above the waveform display.
Thanks, @wim. I just noticed that you can rename a pad by holding it, which I do remember. The problem is that I can’t seem to rename the midi-mapped pads - the ‘rename’ option doesn’t appear. Any ideas?
I think it’s because I tried to do this with a default kit. Bit fiddly, the 4pockets apps. Brilliant - but fiddly!
Doesn't matter if it's midi mapped or not. If you scroll down to the bottom of the interface where the waveform is displayed, you will see the rename button.
Yeah, I see that now. Thanks for your help. I think I just need to reacquaint myself with the app. I abandoned it because I bought it for samples but adding samples in iOS is an absolute nightmare, so I abandoned that, too. But then I wondered if DigiStix can with with midi, and of course it can. It’ll be fantastic to use this with Ruismaker. Thanks again.
Just got it this morning and I’m using it to control SunVox and I’m really happy with my purchase
I spent a bit more time with it tonight and discovered a sticky midi note problem. The parameters were three parts in song mode with looping off in host sync mode. When the third part finished playing there were hung midi notes. To prove that the problem was internal to DK, I added a 4th (empty) part and repeated the test. No hung notes...I’m sure a good report should include more precise detail, but I haven’t gotten that far. I saved the song and the AUM setup, so I’m pretty sure I can duplicate the failure.
