It was a real purchase with store version, but I'll double check on whether the Beta is installed.

From my experience in years, Restore Purchases works pretty reliably on iOS.

Yep, all good now. Cheers

BTW, I just hooked up the Launchpad X to LK.

The session clips all lit up straight away, so this is looking like a cool combo.

Do you have any articles or vids on using LK with LPX? I mean if there is any special integration with the side functions.

cheers

No...

Maybe you could be the first doing one!!!!

You should have session and notes modes working.

Also, the sides volume, pan, stop, mute, solo and recording are also implemented.

We have just published a new build of LK 1.8.5 (build 165) which aims to improve playing and recording timings. There is still working in progress and some bugs around but we think it is important to have your feedback to see if are significant improvements:

Beta 3:

• Aims to improve playing and recording timings
• Fixes crash on midi import to a clip while playing

Beta 2:

• Aims to fix crashes/freezes while receiving midi input

Beta 1:

• Added note probability
• Added another shift button to the left of the transport bar

You guys seem very much committed to your library of apps. Even DRC still gets somewhat regular updates, and great preset IAPs for FMRS... free versions, great tutorials... etc.

Pleasure to support!

Another quick go at using Launchpad X with LK and a couple of observations.

• The session clips colours don't tally between the two, i.e red on LK is blue on LPX, green is orange etc...

• Often, new clips created by importing MIDI aren't displayed on the LPX immediately, unlike copy/pasting clips that do seem to. They only appear after playback is started.

Overall though it's looking like a cool integration.

Are there any plans to add support for the Launchpad Pro MK3?

Hi, I bought the matrix and when setting my scale I don't seem to have the options for a basic major or minor scale, only locrain, Dorian etc

In the manual and on videos I see others have a major and minor scale option

Anyone know how to add it?

Thanks

I believe the Ionian scale is the same as major and Aeolian as natural minor

At the bottom of the list there is the Custom option so you can set whatever you want

Clicked those two options, Ionian and aeolian, and seems they are the same as major and minor so will use those

Yes. Using the white keys as the scale reference the "modes" are:
C-C is Ionian or C Major
D-D is Dorian on D
E-E is Phrygian on E
F-F is Lydian on F
G-G is Mixolydian on G
A-A is Aeolian on A or A minor
B-B is Locrian on B

The music theory class pneumonic device I used and remember to this day is:
I'm Dejected, please, leave me a - lone.

Ionian (Major)
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian (Relative Minor)
Locrian
(Remembering the Lydian before the Locrian requires remembering it's reverse alphabetical on the 2nd letter).

Pop quiz on Monday.

Spent some time playing with all the IAPs in standalone. Decided I really liked having all those controllers in one place. And they all work well on the smaller iPhone screen too. Ended up buying them all in the sale.

In the chorder, can you somehow change the order of the chords and which chord comes first? I would like to have the chords in each row in chromatic order but they are arranged in intervals of 5ths. It would also be cool to have more than one octave in each row...

Perhaps you can find what you need by clicking on the = at the bottom, then click on add layout.

dobbs

Unfortunately, no. A preset allows for the selection of which notes are present, and in the preset window they are ordered chromaticaly, but when you open the preset in chorder they are in a different order.

dobbs

What an exciting app! But, can you set up which channel the notes from a clip are being sent to? Can I set a channel for individual tracks or clips, or even for individual notes?

Edit: found it. Yess this is awesome!

RajahP

Updated... Probability? BRB... thanks..

Thanks a lot for the update, no freezes with the midi controller anymore

Is it possible for clips to start instantaneously instead of waiting for the next bar? In GStomper for example, you can start a clip at the next bar (or whatever you set the quant to), but also start the clip immediately if you double tap it.

You set it the top bar of the matrix, the trigger quant. can be set to ‘none’.

But then the clip's content would be out of sync. Sorry, I should have elaborated more. In GStomper (and probably also other DAWs) you can start clips but their content will still be in sync. Say your trigger quant is 1 bar. If you instantaneously start a clip, it will play the rest of the clip as if you had triggered it at the previous bar, and then the clip will start again at the next bar. So the clip plays instantaneously but its content is still in sync.

So if you instantaneously start a clip and the timeline is at 0,5 bars it would play the last 0,5 bars so that the next loop will begin at the next full bar.

Like the clip timeline always stays in sync with the main timeline, it just jumps in when you trigger it, starting where the timeline currently is positioned and not the clip start.

I don’t know of a Setting in LK to create this behavior, but...

You could put all your Patterns you want to switch around and experiment with in the same Scene, rather than on the same Track like you would normally do.
Then in the Midi Settings, set each Track to the same Midi channel as your sound making app.
Then open the Mixer settings, set a Track to Solo mode, and trigger the whole Scene.
All the Patterns are continuously running in sync, and you jump-cut between them using the Solo buttons.

Here is a pic of what I mean

BlocsWave works like that. Koala may also. It is handy. One can create some interesting patterns by switching between patterns before they finish playing.

First of all, I can't believe this app exists! As a long time Ableton User, I find the vertically stacked rows of clips a very friendly way to compose music. I'm glad i stumbled upon this thread and realized this was a full auv3 midi sequencer.

I ran into a curious behavior last night when running it through its paces. In AUM and in apeMatrix using their built-in keyboards, the built in LK keyboard module or my akai mpk mini mk 2 , sending MIDI into the "LK input" or "Keyboard" channel, for seemingly most or all of my auv3 synths, when the track is armed and playing AND the global transport record is on, I will hear the note I am playing two times as if it's also being sounded on the release of the note. It doesn't happen every single note, but most of them.

If the track is just armed and global recording is off, I can play normally from the keyboards through LK and then into the auv3 synth. Also, what is recorded into the clip is just the single hit per note, not the doubling that I hear.

I believe this behavior was the same yesterday before I'd made the most recent update.

This behavior occurs using Ripplemaker, Korg Module, Zeeon, etc..

Is there some monitoring setting I might have wrong? I tried to go through this whole thread, but I may have missed something.

espiegel123

When recording into a new clip without a pre-set clip length (let’s say the first clip in a project) in the AU, is there still no way to get a count off or link the recording start to the host transport so that you can start playing on beat one? I feel like I must be overlooking something obvious.

On no, more apps to buy...

This seems super useful. I find it’s most natural to launch clips at the right time, not thinking about it in advance, but I am sometimes a little bit late so the clip launches at the next bar and everything gets messed up.

Yes, it seems to be fixed this time. I had a couple of long sessions including midi controllers and no freezes occurred.

I've only really been playing with LK a lot... in the last couple of weeks. I've got all of the IAPs now. Glad I did! Even though I have a variety of iOS controllers, it's really nice to have everything in one place and interconnected. I've been using the midi-controller module to control Fieldscaper and loving it!

One of the greatest benefits is that before... I didn't really do much on the iPhone with sound (apart from loopers like Gauss, RE-1, Koala, etc.) But, the LK interface works and fits nicely on an iPhone screen... so that experimenting and dinkin' around with sound stuff is a lot more pleasurable. I just set up my synths, effects, etc. in apeMatrix or AUM... then control everything from LK in standalone mode for maximum screen real estate.

LK may be one of the most overall useful apps I've purchased in a good while.

+1 Pretty much a fanboy at this point. Got all the other stuffs, so maybe a shirt is what’s required now?
