LK 1.9.0 has been finally released and features some important improvements:
Thank you to all the beta testers that helped us fine tuning this release.
A special thanks to @j_liljedahl for the help he has kindly provided to me, understanding how to schedule midi events in sample time. AUM is one of the most complex, beautiful and carefully crafted applications I've seen in the mobile iOS world and I just can't get tired of saying this.
We hope you enjoy this release!
Just updated and now the midi contoller doesnt work properly. I can play some notes but then it gets stuck on a note (holds it) and doesn‘t recognise any new input
Ios 13.7 ipad 6 gen
Sorry to hear about that. What's your controller? How are you setting it up? Can you send me a video? Thx!
I tried with two different, launchpad mk3 pro and arturia minilab mk 2
With launchpad i doesnt always respond to every not im playing and gets stuck after some notes (video is on the way), with mk2 it responds to every key but gets stuck after some time
We have tested all the controllers we have and they are working just fine:
I've been playing for more than one hour yesterday with APC Key 25 and didn't have a single stuck note with the controller.
Thanks for making a video. It will help us understand the problem.
Regards,
Nuno
Thanks... will give it a shot now..
Maybe ill have to update to ios 14, but i dont dare since i still read about problems with au
We only have one device on iOS 14. All the other are on iOS 13
@sinosoidal: does LK presently operate in slide over/split screen mode? The reason I ask is I'd like to use LK in a performative context triggering a Drambo set - and while I can obviously run them both side by side in AUM, I would lose Drambo's new ability to run AU's internally (Drambo wont host AU's when running in AMU).
Don't upgrade to iOS 14. There are some serious issues. Apparently 14.3 beta is better but still unknown if it solves them all.
@sinosoidal : what is the trick to record into an empty clip when the transport is linked to the host. I have set LK to record mode (both LK and my track). I deleted the clip on the track so that I can record without a pre-set clip length and nothing I do seems to result in LK recording into the clip when AUM’s transport hits 1.1.0.
It seems to work fine if the clip is not empty.
did you tap the empty clip itself?
Yup. It works for me if the clip is not an empty clip.
Does it work for you?
Yes, It’s working. I’m on the latest beta, but it should be the same as the latest update from the App Store
So you can set transport locking on, create a new project , delete the first clip so that the first clip is empty , arm recording, and recording starts when the host transport hits 1?
Note that the clip needs to be truly empty not just a clip with no notes
Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing, here is a video of what I do: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AjeElcrX4ad7q4JWmbECO2v547Y26Q
Now that I try again, it looks like I can't record into an empty clip at all even if not locked to the host.
In the previous couple of versions, you could record into a slot that had no clip to create a new clip without pre-setting a clip length. This is not working for me in the new version at all. Note that I have only tried when there are no other clips.
Try this with and without host transport linked.
@sinosoidal : i am finding that recording a first clip is not working well in the new version -- linked to transport or not. I can never get it working in a truly empty clip (whether it is the first clip or not) -- and recording into the first clip even if not empty is not working often either.
One thing that I notice -- even with the default 1 bar clip -- is that i need to open the clip itself and tap in the clip's play button when the piano roll is visible for recording to work. Even with host transport not linked.
Question: Is there no 'new project' command anywhere?
I’m having a hard time just trying to record an ATOM 1 seq. Into LK..
Edit.. should be an easy task.. by just hitting ‘rec/play’ in LK or, AUM...
I think you are running into the issues that I am running into in this new release.
You skipped tapping the empty clip after “Press play in AUM”
Forgot to list it. But I am doing that. It doesn't work here. In fact, with a non empty clip, I have to actually open the piano roll editor and tap play while in the clip for recording to work.
Should be this simple.. .. But importing a midi file is pure magic..
Here is a video showing two issues (and it turns out the host transport linkage is irrelevant)
1) recording sometimes requires going into the piano roll and pressing the play button there even if you aren’t linked to the host transport and the LK play button has been pressed (and the clip tapped
2) recording into an empty slot is not working
For some reason when you tap the empty clip it’s not changing to record mode (with a red dot in a corner). I’m doing the exact same thing as you and I can record into an empty clip.
There is some bug for sure, you’re doing everything right. I wonder what could be the reason. I’m on iOS 14.2 using the latest beta. How about you?
iOS 13.7. Using the app store version that was just released. Perhaps you could reinstall the app store version and see if it works for you. Maybe your version is more recent?
It’s the same for me with the App Store version
@sinosoidal : any ideas?
I am not getting the same ‘not starting when recording’ problem as @espiegel123, but I am having trouble getting midi to record consistently. It seems to drop out, or record really short or really long notes that I didn’t play, and it spikes the hell out of my CPU and the single AU synth (Phasemaker) breaks up completely.
I can get it to start recording in an empty slot or a new clip, synced with AUM, no problem.
After recording starts, and it is also sending to the AU synth, is when my problems appear.
If I don’t send the LK track output to anything, it seems to record fine, and the CPU is stable.
I have a feeling this is related to the weird iOS 14.2 midi bug that has recently been discussed on the forum, but can’t say for sure.
But it might be worth waiting for 14.3 to see if these problems magically go away. Or if anyone is on the iOS beta and has LK, it would be cool if you could chime in.
Can LK record cc messages in real time ? 🔴🎚
I could only get to draw the automation on the matrix
