    Super uninformed question - will I be able to use this with external midi (from hardware synths) with AUM? I'm assuming yes ...

    Yes. You can also pick the MIDI channels from within Atom (some hardware synths are super fussy about receiving from a specific channel).

    This is going to change iOS music making! Amazing.

    Perhaps for modular heads that like the modular mayhem. But I wouldn't bet on it making a splash in the grand scheme of things. My feeling is that most people prefer their classic DAWs :)

    However, I truly appreciate the sentiment, it means a lot!

    I’m on the boat of classic DAW, but this app would change work flow for me in Cubasis 3. I can create midi in Atom and export each track as midi individually.
    I can choose scales and just draw in notes.
    I know it does other things, but just these 2 features mentioned will make Atom 2 part of my everyday workflow in Cubasis 3.

    Thanks. Excellent news - I'll be in line then.

    Exactly. Atom is amazing in AUM. For a long time I tried to figure out a way to export my midi loops and import them into Cubasis 3. I purchased all the midi sequencers trying to figure a way that didn't disrupt the creative flow. This is certainly a game changer. Nothing is quite as intuitive as Atom. Just adding midi export makes it an insta buy for me. This is just superb with all the extra bells and whistles!

    @Synthi The problem with that is that when you change your main sequence (move the notes around for example), the sustain pedal CC messages would "stick" and sustain the wrong thing.

    I'm am however debating whether allowing black box recording would be something I'd be comfortable with. If so, then it's a trivial thing to enable (it all technically just works, I've just disabled it for release because again – no editing).

    Would it be possible to hide some of this behind feature flags, that maybe can be toggled through the API? That way the power users that want bleeding-edge features can have them at their own risk, without exposing them to people that want things to "just work" and would get upset with incomplete implementations.

  • @blueveek : I beg of you to enable Atom 2 to record and playback all MIDI (on the channels received) even if it is as a black box. For many of us, CCs are as important as notes AND would be overjoyed to at least be able capture and playback performances even if we can't edit them right now.

    There is nothing right now on iOS that can really do that outside of standalone apps -- and Photon kind of (but it is so fiddly as not to be very usable).

    If adding a black box mode is not time-consuming, please add it sooner rather than later.

    @blueveek +1 Yes, a super secret Easter egg only the insiders will be able to discover or muck about with at their own risk without any expectation of supporting this type of functionality while you work on the Atom CC recorder/editor at your own leisure? We’d be undercover beta testers for this functionality and wouldn’t tell a soul 🧐👍🏼.

  • Oh, I was catching up on the thread and the whole time I wanted to yet again compliment @blueveek for what appears to be a software engineering masterpiece. Absolutely amazing for a one-person shop.

    @tk32, your marketing screenshots are also amazing beautiful. I forget, do you have a graphic design background? UI/UX?

    Exactly true same scenarios for me, I love Cubasis 3 workflow but working in Atom via AUM and then exporting to Cubasis 3 for audio recording is an ideal workflow for me. This has been a very “interesting” forum thread
    😂 but at the end clearly more than worth the wait

    I think if you would add to the blackbox CC recording an undo function or a function to delete a specified CC number on a part, it would already be quite useful. Then you could at least undo a CC recording and try again.

    For simplicity, I would say blackbox mode should be just that. Investing time to be able to delete select CCs seems like time better spent on the planned CC editing.

    Please! blackbox at least! Most of us don´t edit the sequences, just think like an audio looper, I just need to record, repeat and play my performance. This don´t do a diference for people not using CCs or sustain pedal, but makes the whole diference (usable or useless) for a lot of us!
    You can make this an option in the preferences (record sustain &CC on/off) with even a little poopup saying you can edit those.

    o:)

    Of course there is — LK!
    It records CCs and you also can edit them. Brillant App (AUv3) from Imaginando. Don‘t get me wrong, but I don‘t really understand the hype about Atom2. Strange that LK doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
    BTW, I will also get Atom and use it, congratulations for the release. Would be nice, if you add MPE recording And editing soon (Even Ableton has this now ;-)).
    Skål!

    Lots of excitement from me for LK. It’s now my primary music making platform within AUM. It’s equally ground breaking and developing so fast with beta updates 2-3 times a week.

    I’m hoping to use LK and Atom together somehow.

    LK only records on a single channel and only does 4/4. If you are performing on a device that generates MIDI events on multiple channels, it isn't convenient to record in LK. And support for non-4/4 time signatures is some time off in the future.

    It’s more or less flipping a switch. Adding some new UI elements for coarse editing (delete, etc.) should be fairly trivial.

    I don‘t really understand the hype about Atom2.

    Piano Roll 2 is completely modular in the way it works, one instance, one pad, This type of simplistic modularity has always been a part of iOS music making, well ever since AUM etc started to appear.

    If you quote me, then please completely!
    And yes, I like the AUM workflow because of its simplistic modularity. But for me, a MIDI recorder/editor without the ability to handle CCs is a bit to simplistic. There still is no MIDI Sequencer on iPad which has MPE support. For me, with this functionality added, it‘s worth the hype. And shame on me — I really didn‘t recognize that LK is not capable of working with other measures than 4/4.
    Someone said, there was no AUv3 with the ability to record MIDI CCs. So I just pointed out, that this is possible with LK. I have no intention to discredit the developer of Atom. He decided to bring it out a bit unfinished AFTER ASKING THE COMMUNITY if he should go this way. Respect for that! I am hopeful, that it will become a brillant and successful app. And then CCs will be supported, hopefully also NRPN and MPE.

    Nice work on the graphics @tk32, looks pro!

    Is the magic clipboard compatible with other DAWs then or am I reading that incorrectly? For example, can I copy/paste MIDI between Xequence 2 and Atom 2? I would have thought each DAW has its own clipboard format (shame there is no standard, if so) so maybe this is not possible but I have often wished for the ability to copy MIDI from one DAW and paste it into another.

    Ah, it's worth clarifying this, it's good that you brought it up. Clipboard only works between Atom instances at the moment, but it doesn't matter where those instances are loaded (same project, different projects, different hosts).

    This never crossed my mind really, but the implementation might actually be worth investigating!

    How about loading Atom (1) instances into Atom 2, is that possible?

  • Where is This darn thing!!! Open the gates ye apple reviewers
