far better general idea if I may :
A new option in settings that would be :
clicking on a blanck clip on a track that is not armed , records the clip
= no need no more to click on arm + click on the blank clip
Or
Why not simply add an option in settings = " arm track of selected clip" ?
nstead of nothing happening when clicking on a blanck clip ?
so with this option On , clicking twice would record the clip ,
( I know double clicking on a blanck clip creates an empty clip , this wouldnt change since the option should be chosen )
What do you think about that ?

Yes, we will add an extra layer of control to the next release. There will be a song settings panel in which you will be able to enable/disable this feature and decide which device/channel should be allow to perform this action.
Thanks a lot!!
@sinosoidal Just reporting a bug / issue for me with LK. Not sure whats going on, but LK is crashing on save in AUM frequently. The worst thing about this is that every time it happens all the midi learn assignments are lost with the invalidated instance in all LK projects.
I cant quite pin-point when and why it happens but often it seems to be on first save after opening the AUM session version where I save the (restored state) version with the original file name (ie without restored state at the end)
Happy to provide some projects, AUM session or logs if that helps?
@paikan777
Can you please see if in the latest beta the two issues you've reported (the note not playing when disabling arm, and the notes not being recorded if you play them before the clip starts playing) are resolved?
Thanks
Same for me.
A workaround is to stop playback before saving.
At least it works for me.
Hi-gh ! just been on it !
Works and is a game changer for live looping , Essential !
Bravo !
notes not being recorded if you play them before the clip starts playing) /// Check ! works like a charm !!!
(the note not playing when disabling arm Check ! works like a charm !!!
I have played several ways , same scene , with scene changing etc
Will keep on playing of course and let u know
BEAUTIFUL !
Merci
Are you able to create the minimal AUM project set that reproduces the problem and the minimal steps, or a video showing how to reproduce it? That would be the fastest way for us to tackle the problem. Sorry for the hassle!
New beta (build 257) tries to resolve the following reported issues:
@gregsmith / @branis -> clip length with wrong number on clip properties (i think this was only happening with clips created with record)
@Jeezs -> program change now has device and channel filtering (located in the song settings panel)
Composer now retains its visual state when switching modules.
Great.
No more program change trouble for me!!
Hi ! New beta lost nearly ... all the settings
Check the new settings icon at the top-right of the matrix window
Oh beautiful ! I checked on iphone not ipad ( I usually test on both ) so i did not see the wheel !
Thank you
@sinosoidal Made a quick video.
I open AUM session, open LK GUI, press save, crash. I then repeat but it doesnt crash. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help diagnose.

I love your app but I do find the files feature a little bit clunky.
Each time I save an LK project in a AUM session I have to remove the appended (restored state) message from the filename.
Sometimes I end up with files that either have or look like they have the same filename. (maybe I left a space when I removed the restored state part)
I have to load a project to delete it. There’s no swipe from right to delete.
LK updated to version 1.11.3:
Thanks for making the video. We will try to reproduce the crash.
When you save a AUM session, LK is treated like a plugin and the state gets recorded in the AUM session. When the session is loaded, LK receives a state from AUM. Since that patch was in memory, we put it back into memory with the same name and with the suffix Restore State.
We do the same for all other apps, we just don't use the "Restore State" suffix. We use the * convention.
I agree with your complains because this has been source of confusin many times. I'm still unsure what would be the best way to improve this workflow.
Indeed. Besides swap to delete what other ways could we add to improve this workflow? Just trying to gather some consensus here.
@sinosoidal Thoughts on releasing on M1 Macs?
@sinosoidal Been having a think about it and comparing with other apps. I guess it will always be a little confusing with saved state vs saved patch.
In Drambo, you are just forced to Save As… the first time you save after session is opened. The filename is just the regular filename. So, you can save over the top if you want to but harder to accidentally save a session state on top of a saved patch. It has the advantage of not having to mess about removing the “(restored state)” appendage. In Drambo you do have to choose the location again though. Not sure if this is best practice but seems to work ok.
I think having to use the keyboard to remove that “(restored state)” text makes it seem more effort than it needs to be. If you have the * and force SaveAs you then have the Overwrite warning. If you Ok that warning then it should just save without further intervention. Thats my 2cents worth.
The preset line height is good for seeng lots of presets but maybe a bit fiddly for swiping to delete etc.
LK is useless without a touch screen. Composer will not work with the mouse.
Why do you believe LK is a usefull tool in a Mac?
Can you use DRAMBO as an AUv3? Or you use it always as a host?
Wonderful LK has levelled Up a lot !!!
Brillant evolution
Thank you
Thank you for your feedback!
Primarily for generative purposes. I would run it in standalone mode and use it with Ableton as an alternative to the built in Session view. Since LK has excellent generative tools, it would be a faster way to generate ideas and doesn't require an external iPad. Agreed that the addons will be less useful without a touchscreen.
Theoretically, it would work this way with any DAW, and could be synced via Midi or Ableton Link.
Is it possible to use the AUM keyboard with LK ?
Trying to get it to record via the AUM keyboard with no success
If it’s possible can anyone tell me the setup please
Thanks in advance
Yes, it's possible. You just need to set LK's midi input to Keyboard (built in):
@branis
Tried that
LK also brought up the 10 minutes window, so I had to restore purchases
Strange
The matrix main screen with the clips won’t go into record mode just above the midi settings, should that be enabled
Also enabled record on the clip editor and the lower play button
Am sure I had it working before
You need to enable the record mode in LK, record arm the track and tap the clip you want to record in. I usually link the clock to host and press play in AUM
Yes as an auv3. My comments were based on using it as an auv3 not a host.
@branis
Thanks again
What you highlighted is the route I tried but the track wouldn’t arm
Will try again in the morning
Thanks
@branis
Just tried again and it works fine
Just realised I was hitting the stop button not the record arm button
I really do need some new glasses
Was trying this on iPhone 11, wasn’t until I was on my iPad Pro that I could see properly
Wow
Feel really embarrassed now
Thanks
