All I can see from looking at ATOM is that all the other 'DAW' developers will have a LOT of 'catching up' to do

Yes, AUM was the first host I purchased when I started this journey at the beginning of the pandemic, and I honestly think it's all I need. Though, I do want to give BM3 another chance once the update drops, but Atom, Xequence and LK are making AUM worlds ahead of all the traditional DAWs on iOS. I'm stoked for this to drop.

Well look at that, BM3 update just dropped. 🤣🤣🤣

Looks to me like a worthy 2.0 release! Really cool stuff...!!! Release the thing!!!!

Sooo...anyone want to talk to me like I'm stupid and make a comparison between Atom and the other big midi sequencer currently on the front page: Imaginando LK. My main use case for this type of app would be to record in midi data from sequencers I've built in Orca, and then have those midi files available for triggering during live playing or recording in AUM.

Would they both excel at this (probably relatively simple) type of use? Any reason one would be better than the other? Are they actually not comparable at all and I am misguided?

It seems like they would both be fine for what you want to do. LK is built around midi clip launching, so I'm guessing it would be the closer fit. Anyway, you can try it out for free.

yeah saving my store credits for Atom ,( plz hurry trigger finger on Zen v2 ) edit I take that back Atom comes first

Please don’t say that.. I need this now.. we don’t need another Camel Audio’s Alchemy..

There needs to be a midi repository for files of all types (Drums, Sequences, etc.) on release of this app.. Quantizing an imported sequence to Key/scale imagined..

So the current version of Atom doesn't do import/export of midi files but the next (imminent) version will, have I got that right?

No worries. I’m so eager to have this I can wait on that update...

First of all, thank you for mentioning Orca. Looks very interesting!
For live clip launching in AUv3 world, LK must to be the only solution for now.
Atom seems to get a massive feature boost atm and is certainly worth another look once released.

Yeah Orca is so awesome. It's like the perfect combination of 1) tool to create the exact kind of midi sequencing that's right for the music I make and 2) brain stimulating puzzle game. I could (and do) lose hours to it on the regular.

Have you seen tidal? Different, but similar approach.

@SimonSomeone said:
Excuse me if this has been asked answered before, but do we know what the maximum clip length will be? And are there options to run it at fractions or multiples of the project BPM? That's probably not so standard but I like the idea of it.

Unlimited length. Tempo can be changed per clip (can also go negative).

This is why you should be in charge of all the apps.

Indeed. It's been added to my endless queue of music things I want to learn. Someday.

What we’ve got here is a perfect illustration of why a modular setup is a great thing for iOS at the moment: A single developer making a midi/piano roll module with an amazing devotion to what it should do, without having to develop all the other bits of the ‘daw’ puzzle.

We have been waiting for it for sooooo long 😃
LK turning into a standalone MIDI clip sequencer was already a great surprise but turning it into an AUv3 is amazing.
Hats off to @sinosoidal 🙏🏼

Speaking of perfect... @blueveek I have a UI-related request, but it's a matter of personal preference, and I'm sure Atom 2 will be amazing either way.

On the right sidebar, where it's like
< Fifth > and << Octave >>
I would prefer it to be like
<< < View > >>
and have the < > buttons move only a semitone.

Only if you and the other forum users agree.
It's similar to Nanostudio 2's system for moving notes, but for the view instead. (NS2 uses a scroll bar for navigating vertically.) If this has already been suggested, I apologize.

Yep! With these new tools, as much as I love Xequence I can see it potentially becoming obsolete in my workflow, which makes me a bit sad.

In this interview the creator of Orca says it was "inspired by a misunderstanding of Tidal".

I’ll be building a hardware open sourced project called Fates, which is based off the Monome Norns, which can run Orca.

Monome sells a hat for the raspberry pi for just $200 that the project I’m building is based off of.

I’d welcome anyone who wants to to join me in either building (assembling really) their own similar hardware so we might partake of Orca (and other software) together.

The site http://llllllll.co/ is as warm and welcoming place as here. Come on over.

Damn! That is cool. Thanks for mentioning this. Whole new worlds to explore! Could also be the excuse I've been looking for to finally grab a Raspberry pi. With an iOS terminal emulator it could be controlled from the iPad as well.
