Interesting point. I have never thought of that. Thanks for sharing!

Hey there,
Hypertron V.1.1.2 is out now with cool new features:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hypertron/id1468266608
There's something about this, like some Berlin box of simple, I find good....
@JohnnyGoodyear thank you. I’m happy to hear that you like it. Greetings from Berlin!
Great stuff! Just updated as I hadn’t used it in a while. Love the progress and honestly this is really a solid Sampler/Drum Machine.
Would love to see a Probability lane in there!
Good job
That's very odd/miraculous. Didn't actually know you were in Berlin, was talking more about the style/identity somehow In other news, we were sitting in the dark in Austin a few nights ago (power outages) and voting which city we've been to in the past five years we'd like to go back to when travel becomes easier again and, yes, Berlin was #1. Killer combination of food and people
@diasporah
Thank you for your positive feedback! But what's a "Probability lane" ?
@JohnnyGoodyear
Ha! Yeah, Berlin is a good town even though right now it's probably just like any other city during lockdown.. Can't wait to travel again myself and also come back to America as soon as possible!
I can’t figure out how to load a sample into a empty pad, maybr you can’t in the free version? I dunno but id like to test it out
@reasOne
I made a tutorial for this:

If you purchased a PRO account, you can import samples as well:

I spend 10 days every March in Austin for SXSW and miss it dearly. It’s my favourite US city by miles.
i think this app is
silently getting really powerful. awesome update guys!!
That’s a epic update right there. Tousand Dank! Or something like that.
That's awesome! Also thank you for your support and feedback, you gave me some really good ideas - There will be more features coming in future updates.
@syrupcore
Actually it's "Tausend" but I prefer your version ; )
On the advice of @JohnnyGoodyear, I tried this for the first time this morning, and had a groovy little pattern going within minutes. It's a very friendly UI, and lots to discover. Judging by this thread, a very responsive dev, too. Excellent! I will buy the pro upgrade this afternoon.
I have a question @Hypertron. Any plans for Elektron-style trig conditions on the step sequencer? It's a great way of making a loop feel alive. Also, is there any microtiming? If it's possible, it would be great to move a single step or series of steps off-grid.
Fun app - thank you
Let's just say that when it comes to living off-the-grid @iansainsbury likes all of his apps to have compostable toilets.
@JohnnyGoodyear thanks for recomming my app!
@iansainsbury
Thank you! I did think of implementing an offset / millisecond delay for every track but having that for every step would be much cooler indeed, I agree. Lets see what the future holds : )
Whoop!
Guess you could describe microtiming as being between two stools.
I'll get my coat.
Are the pads meant to trigger samples?
@Ailerom hi there, not yet but I have just implemented that feature. It will roll out with the next update
Nice one, thanks for letting me know.
Hi everyone. I’m a complete newbie to this world. Am a guitarist and want to try to implement synth sounds into my rock projects. Just bought the app.
Many questions coming. For now; tried to export a loop i made to myself on whatsapp. The only thing that gets sent is a logo. How do you export projects via sms for example?
Hi @Baraldi,
To start recording, click on the record button at the top right corner. A new window will appear. Enter a filename into the input field and click on the confirmation button at the top right of the window (checkbox icon). Now, you should be able to record your loop for a while. When you're finished, click on the record button again.
A new window should pop up, allowing you to directly share the track via AirDrop, Messages, or other apps. If you want to keep a copy for yourself first and be able to access it later, simply click on "Save to Files" and then choose the desired target destination for your file. You can access this file at any time via your iOS Files app.
I hope that works for you.
Many many thanks. This is really fun. Can’t believe i discover this now. Been doing music for 40 years. Guitar based ok, but one should have explored this way earlier.
Same. No sound. In whatsapp for example.
There are options before sharing. What should i check? I’ve tried several combinations. Nothing works.
Also. Once you’re satisfied with the loop and you want to import it into logic for example, how does that work?
@Baraldi
I'm happy to hear that!
Hypertron operates somewhat differently in this regard compared to traditional DAWs because it doesn't render the loop offline. Instead, it requires you to press the play button ( which is next to record button ) and perform the track after you start recording. In this way, it functions more like a tape recorder, with the additional option to record not just the master bus but also individual tracks in real time. There is a setting for changing the number of recording tracks / pads in the PRO version.
There is also an option to 'TRIM' the audio after recording, which should theoretically make it easier to position the stems in a DAW like Logic Pro later on. Additionally there is a traditional 'NORMALIZE' function.
If you want to compress everything into one file, use the ZIP option.
Finally, enabling the 'BUS AS M4A' checkbox will export the master bus stereo audio file in M4A format.
FYI: In the current Hypertron version, the duration of the recording is limited, and the length of time depends on your device model.
If you want to use the stems inside Logic Pro on a Mac, try to transfer the audio files from your device via iOS Files app, using AirDrop to your Mac, and then drag them into your Logic Pro project.
I haven’t used Logic Pro on an iPad yet, but I imagine the Logic Pro app handles file imports on its own.
Additionally, it is worth noting that Hypertron currently does not support MIDI export, but it does export stereo stems in real time, as mentioned above.
I hope this clarifies things a bit!
I’m on logic pro. Had hoped this was a tool to create ideas on the fly and then import them into logic, and or share ideas between bandmembers for feedback. Maybe it’s something to consider. Bought the much more expensive air hybrid 3 which is integrated into logic. Would have been nice if the hypertron could do what i hoped it would. I don’t cary the macbook around but the phone is always near.
I see, you want to use Hypertron as a plugin inside Logic Pro on your Mac. Over the past two years, I've been busy transitioning the app to Audio Unit Version 3, and it's currently entering the beta testing phase. Once officially released, it will enable you to use Hypertron within AUM, Audiobus, and even Logic Pro on iPad. That being said, with a bit more development effort, it should also be possible to release Hypertron as an Audio Unit on MacOS, perhaps next year.
Until then, you can import the stems into your Logic Pro project as mentioned above and/or share your Hypertron projects with others who also have Hypertron installed on their iOS devices.
