Are you sure it has the latest LK?
Yes, I tried latest from store and testflight, same issue on 13.6. Fine on 13.1. I'm sure it's fine on 14 since most everyone has it now.
Weird. It’s fine on 13.7.
Would you mind explaining this @gregsmith?. Are you automating scene triggers?.
Doing that you could actually do a song mode if you trigger LK send to itself. Is that what you’re doing?. I tested and it works but it’s hard to midi learn the scene trigger param.
Updated... Thanks
Yep I’m automating scene triggers from an LK dummy clip, to AUM midi control, back to LK. The scene triggers are exposed parameters so you just do it the normal AUM way. You’re right, midi learn is impossible.
I just set the dummy clip track to midi channel 16, then set the midi triggers as below:
This makes C3 trigger scene 1, C#3 trigger scene 2, D3 trigger scene 3 etc...
Make sure LK is routed into midi control in AUM too - I always forget that step.
I couldn’t get it to work with cc’s as it just triggered it continually but I may have been doing something daft. Maybe we can use program change?
It works well anyway but hopefully @sinosoidal can add scene triggers follow actions to save all this faff 😉
I would be interested in this feature as well. Would save time setting up automation.
(After update today I can trigger clips btw.)
Just to be sure, you have 2 instances of LK loaded in AUM ? It is not possible to do with only one instance
[edit] in fact I have seen that there is also “clip triggers” in AUM and it is possible to have only one instance of LK when using these triggers. Cool trick, thank you
Great
Yeah I've only just seen these AU parameters, very useful. I think this is also the first time I've seen AU parameters which appear dynamically which is great.

Starting at C2.
Yep one instance. Neat isn’t it!
Same here! I was impressed by that
Now I get it!. I was missing the AUM au parameters bit. It does make it a lot easier.
This is interesting, Are you sequencing the whole song or just some pattern changes?. I can see how doing the whole song would greet you for noodling with fx, volumes, some sauce and little details... Is it ok to work with such a long timeline?. Nice! 👍
I’m gonna try and make a whole song this way. I see no reason why you can’t, especially as it’s split into scenes if anything it’s more manageable. Who knows though - I’m used to traditional timeline type daws so this feels like new territory.
I did a whole song with LK but I was switching scenes manually. I’m trying to avoid linear daws on the iPad. I don’t feel like there’s a proper, good one, they don’t feel right or natural with your fingers. It’s like they’ve all been ported from desktop and are meant to be used with a mouse.
I don’t mind ‘normal’ daws - just found each one on iOS was missing something important. AUM with Audiobus and Xequence was the first setup I found where I could do basically anything I wanted. But then LK comes along and removes the need for Audiobus and Xequence whilst creating an ableton type experience within AUM. Too good to ignore!
I still use Cubasis for mixing and mastering as I find it excellent once working with stems.
What is stems?
As in each track bounced to audio - so AUM and LK is my recording studio where I arrange the song then I record each track to a wav ‘stem’ and import into cubasis 3 for mixing/mastering. Technically you could do all of this in AUM but I like to separate the 2 stages.
Now if LK had audio clips that might change things 😉
@sinosoidal > @gregsmith said:
A workaround for audio clips would be to load audio clips in EG Pulse and trigger them from LK. Nice thing about EG Pulse is that it has multiple outputs
Yeah I do that with pulse and segments a bit tbf.
You’d probably run out of memory allocation using pulse for a whole tracks worth of stems, although I guess you could do an instance per scene. That way you could replace midi track in LK with one that simple triggers a pulse pad.
Interesting...
I do this with Drambo. It’s a bit overkill but ultimately it’s the only one that I found to be stable. Recently tried it with Enso but I needed 8 instances and kept crashing. I talk about options and problems of AUM-LK-Audio Here
It’s not LK’s fault in any way, it’s just that there’s a big void in auv3 audio clip/stem/loopers/players. This would certainly be a huge project for LK, and I’m not sure how much demand there is. Must be that iOS musicians don’t do audio that much, to me it’s basic.
I’d trade my car for an LK audio looper!. It’s not a really nice car and it’s actually my wife’s, but she’d understand.
I like the way automation is handled in FL Studio Mobile.
First of all, you can edit in full screen.
When you move an automation point you get these nice X/Y reference lines so it's easy to see the exact position of the point you're moving. See example below:
When you select some automation points, you get the same X/Y reference lines for the top/left and bottom/right points.
The big white dot is for stretching the selected points and you can move the selected points by dragging anywhere in the selection square. See example below:
Maybe this could be used as inspiration for editing automation in LK?
About a month ago, might be buried in this post
Someone posted a template with LK and egpulse to deal with audio loops
I use it. It’s great as you can place large loops in pulse and activate them from LK
Am out today, but if I get a chance will try and post the template
Speaking of automation...... is there a way to copy and paste automations???? That would be so great and a time saver.
@sinosoidal hi! is there an update for ubridge? Im on live11.b27 and LK remote script is not recognized. afaik its related to the phyton v3 update. is there smth I should do -code translation maybe-?
Not yet. We are working on. Next update will be focused on that. Send me a pvt message if you want to join the beta testing. Thx!
Any chance of getting multiTrack midi import.. split on to separate tracks?
Yes! That's on our queue. Should be available soon.
Beautiful... Thanks..
Hi @sinosoidal
Could you consider implementing IAP family sharing?
