ATOM Piano Roll update is coming soon
This discussion has been closed.

Hah, true enough.
Agreed. If it’s in a finished state up to a stopping point, push it out. Can always add those other features later as an update or even an IAP.
I’d say option #1
I would say option 1 so that you don’t feel pressured to overwork yourself. Release now, and take the necessary time to implement everything else you have planned.
Option 1. We can create and get comfortable with the app as it is. You can get immediate feedback and any additions will be a huge bonus.
Initial Atom 2 Release
1. Piano Roll record/Edit MIDI note information including channel #
2. CC Looper record MIDI CC# with the ability to undo/delete/overdub and edit channel#
3. Support for different levels of CC precision
4. The ability to have CC sequences in sync with MIDI note sequences
5. MIDI Mute controls for output (e.g. route an Atom sequence to control CC mutes or notes)
6. Export options: specify note information, channels, and CC numbers to include in MIDI files.
7. State Savings (this is the biggest drawback of Photon AU)
I think a CC Looper where you record/edit via traditional looper techniques rather than a piano roll editor would be very useful as often you want to tweak automations with the MIDI note sequencer running. Having notes and CC in sync yet independent would be a very useful modular functionality as there are many sources of CC via apps or hardware.
Continuous versus Discrete MIDI
A big difference between CC and MIDI note information is their continuous versus discrete nature when changing clock speed as you have to deal with interpolation rather than relatively simple scaling with notes. This is also another reason why a separation yet ability to sync them together would be better.
User feedback on what sorts of interpolation options for CC they want seems necessary.
I think option 1 is best, and you make customers happy twice, once on release and second with a new features update
I can underdstand wanting to release a perfect app, but it's not possible.
Getting it out sooner will reveal some more bugs as it's a wider user base which will need fixing anyway, so after that you can concentrate on the automation.
@blueveek @tk32
How about new thread with a poll for option 1 or 2 starting , now calculate results on Monday ? ( If someone already suggested this please ignore this comment)
This thread is actually fine, I am keeping track of what everyone has to say believe it or not! I'm amazed at the level of support and nuance in analyzing the situation from everyone here.
MPE please. You could be the first one on iOS — excuse me — iPad OS! So go for it. Automation can bee done in other Apps for now. But MPE‘s a killer feature.
👍👍👍
Nothing against MPE but I think a lot more people would use and appreciate automation before MPE. It is a standard feature in producing a track.
No question. 👍🏼
As an FYI, all that the level of MPE support suggested entails is that it record incoming MIDI (including the channel the events come in on) and be able play it back. There is less to it on the recording/playback side than most people realize.
Option 1 but only if it records and plays back midi CCs (actually, preferably all MIDI, period). I don't care at all if they're editable. That can wait for a later release (preferably IAP). Some kind of rudimentary display just to show that cc data exists and perhaps a basic curve.
I would probably not use Atom 2 much without that. Sustain pedal anyone?
As for MPE, maybe along the same lines? Just record it, but only allow note editing. I can see making an effective MPE editor could be a huge challenge.
If it can’t record CC I suppose it will not record pitch bend and I wait for this for recording iFretless bass lines since Atom 1... please Atom 2 needs CC automation even if not editable!!
I still think it’s lower priority.
The common sense pragmatic approach is to release what you have today keep the masses happy then release an update when you add a decent new feature like automation.
It’s a Win Win situation for all.
@blueveek - thanks for all your hard work. I’d say the count is around 80% for option 1 from what I’ve noticed over the last few days
.
After reading everyone’s ideas I go with ..
Option 1
I now agree with release quick and with regular updates, if you can. I remember devs that do it this way and it seems a professional way to do things.
this
Option 1! Please ship now. Never been so excited about an app. In fact, this is the only reason I signed up to this forum.
Full repect for @blueveek todo list. If I insist on MPE is to summon the voices that request it. Maybe it gets re-prioritized 🙃
As @wim says, just record is enough. Note editing ok too.
But I go for a clear one: release the thing!
Yup, recording CCs is hugely important I think, and much more important than bring able to edit, for now at least.
But we are generally so charming and attractive!
option 1 @blueveek
Ooops, I didn’t mean to cause a stir...
Option 1 for me
Are we still polling? Or, is it safe to say it is overwhelmingly yes for option #1?
Hi @blueveek,
My choice is option 1 because there's already a lot you'll bring to the iOS community with this one.
You'll make lot of people happy and I guess you already made us happy thanks to your behaviour, your great transparent communication on your Atom 2.
After releasing it, I would advice you to take your time and make update when you decide it is the right moment.
You give your personal time as well as the great beta testers do for helping you.
Take your time, and go forward on automation features by keeping a good health.
Once more, many thanks for your work and generosity.
Push it to Apple review today 😎
I use Atom quite heavily. It’s so simple and intuitive that it’s been my go-to sequencer always. The interface is smooth! With the new features that are to ship with new update - MIDI Import/Export, Extensive triggering options, ‘Abletonesque’ workflows, etc - I can safely say that it is going to be a game-changer!
(Option 1 Option 1 Option 1 😛)
i need this to fully sequence, pick sounds, mix, and master my tracks, or else im not biting. neither option will fit my workflow.
(ok, but seriously, option 1 is great, def was looking forward to option 2, but lets rock)
