  • Holding off on atom til the update. Looks amazing insta buy🤓

  • loop legato!! brilliant and very happy to see it applied

  • @tk32
    That's excellent. Do you need to time the triggering on the first loop just before those pickup notes?

    it will be paid update? price will go up?

  • Loop legato. Look Mum, I learnt a new phrase today. Very useful indeed.

    Did I see note labels on the piano roll trigs? This is awesome!!!! Very small enhancement but so cool!

    I’m not sure! Just gotta wait and see. It is a massive update.

    Anacrusis and Loop Legato example (for @sloJordan )

    In this example the melody starts on the final beat of the 4-bar phrase. I have my pattern set to gate mode (so that it keeps in sync with the host at all times) and the trigger beat set to 1 (so that I can trigger it just before the final beat of the phase). Loop legato is also enabled so the final note sustains through the first half of the first downbeat of the pattern.

    The effect of this is that I can start my pattern with a pick-up (anacrusis) that leads into the downbeat

    Here’s a short demo of it in action:
    I’m re-uploading the video with better quality audio...

    Ok, gotcha makes sense! I suppose you can already technically do anacrusis as you are describing it, except for notes weren't allowed to legato across the loop line. Would be cool, if it were pulling the notes for the pre-loop beat from the beat before the loop starts rather than the loop itself, so that the lead-in notes can be different from when it's looping.

    But anyway, the loop legato is soooo essential and something i use all the time when midi looping with a squarp Hermod, so very glad to see it in atom!

  • @blueveek Really looking forward to this , although a small point I notice on screenshots is
    that Beats seem to count from 0 .
    As an Ableton & hardware user , isn’t it more usual for beats of bars to start on 1 similar to how musicians count ? Any chance there could be an option to change this ...1,2,3,4 ?

  • It's not counting beats; it's counting bars.

    That is so cool and am grateful that you've suggested something so musical. MIDI drives me crazy sometimes in the way it doesn't allow for exactly the kinds of choices that musicians make all the time--like starting a melody on the "and" before the 1 of the new bar. Brilliant.

    That's not right at all. The downbeat of the first measure should be 1. Maybe this is pre roll I hope, which would be ok otherwise having the downbeat of the first bar actually start in the second bar will be confusing as hell.

  • I think that is right. In the image above, each measure is divided by quarter notes: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1 bar; 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2 bars....

    You normally don't count the bar at the end of the bar but at the beginning of the bar. I can't think of any other piano roll or DAW that counts bars this way. Normally the first bar in 4/4 would be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc. Hopefully this will be a user setting as I would have to reprogram my brain.

    @blueveek What's going on here?

    The current version of Atom starts counting bars from 1, not zero.

  • @wim You’re correct. I realize i don’t even look at the numbers.

    @blueveek, how possible would it be to look forward to a per note probability to trigger?

    That would make probability sequencing of chains of atoms a reality.

    Thanks and just wondering, and sorry for comment editing.

    Very doable with the current engine architecture, it fits well with the non-destructive per-note quantize, swing and repitch that’s already in. I’ll add it to the backlog for 2.x

    Experimenting! Release version will start from beat 1 measure 1 for regular playback (non pre-roll).

  • Sorry I’m late to the party so maybe this has been discussed, but will it be possible to compose whole songs with atom? Will it have some kind of structure for songs and not just loosely coupled patterns?

    Does this mean you can drone a note even though it is a midi loop?

    It wasn't specifically built for that, since the tempo slider goes to 0.01x or even 0, so you can drone to your heart's content. But I like the idea of a dedicated Loop latch mode to go along Loop legato, where note offs that go beyond the loop endpoint are ignored.

    Interesting :) so we inspire eachother 👊🏼🙃

    Cheers! Loop legato and Loop latch will ship in 2.0

    I just want to re-iterate this point in case anyone missed it when Blueveek first mentioned it...

    When you record a midi pattern in Atom, Note quantise is always applied non-destructively. This means that after you finish recording, you have the choice to either (a) change the quantise settings applied to your notes, (b) once you're happy with your quanitise settings you can bake these into your pattern, or (c) remove quantisations for some -or all- notes so you get back to the original midi timings exactly how you recorded it.

    There are so many occasions in other DAWs where I've had quantise switched on by mistake, and not been able to retrieve my original timings. Not in Atom!

    Note - Midi notes that have any kind of non-destructive process applied - whether it's quantise, swing, or repitch/scale-shift, will show a small dot to indicate the note has one or more adjustments applied.

  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • As long as I’m able to delete the first two bars of a clip and move the rest of the midi notes to the start, I’m good. This has been my biggest frustration with Atom.

    I’d also prefer Atom 2 come out NOW.

  • Now that we have drum computer, this is literally the last thing I need on iOS.

    Nope, it never ends. Now, we have that Hainbach and Bram Bos app coming.

    Maybe for some, but I don't use half the apps that are recommended here. Gotta put a stop somewhere so I can just focus more on creation. Got all my equipment and found the synths and samples I like to use so it's just ironing out a solid workflow that keeps me inspired and that resides inside AUM.

    I’m working on adding just one final new feature (last one I promise) for 2.0, that is probably going to only ever be used by a small minority of users at first, but I think is crucial to get out on day 1, and in the long term become the selling point for Atom.

    Now, I’m not one to post a tease without a screenshot, big fat red arrows and a description of exactly how it works, but I think I’ll break the pattern just this one time :)

    I can’t believe this thread is now at over 40K views. Never would have thought we’d be here when I made my first plugin to work around some BM3 annoyances. I take all of your excitement very seriously, and I’m grateful for your interest.

    Right, ok, back to work!
