Any idear how I can sequence Flam using a Keystep Pro? You think it’s possible? Or am I better off using DC’s internal sequencer and using KSP to switch patterns?
Bonus question:
Can I add a midi command to change what instrument page I’m looking at? I’m planning comprehensive midi control and in some cases I can imagine it helps to not have to take my eyes of the controller.
+1 for this synth!
I don't see any way to do that. Midi learn is done by long-pressing a control to bring up the popup. Those buttons don't bring up the popup so I don't see how you could midi learn anything to them. There are no AU parameters for these button functions either.
There's always the iOS native "Accessibility Switch Control" option that can trigger any finger gesture you've recorded.
@rs2000 Holy hell in a handbasket, I’ll come back to that sometime, next year? I wrote sugarbytes with a request about it, I will wait to I get an answer I mean^^
And then maybe wait some more before I check out the iOS native solution
This appears to be fixed in today's update.
Version 1.1.2
great news 👍
No tambourine, no likey.
Hey, @jonmoore you’ll know, what’s a good drum app on iPad for tambourine sounds? I mean, sure I can fanny about with Drum Computer until I get something that sounds like I’ve made my own with a yoghurt carton and some tin foil or I can just use something that sounds more like one. I was thinking Hammerhead and my own sample but I cba to go and get my drive, plug it in and find one.
All my tambourines are Klevgrand Skaka these days. Bloody wonderful app.
Couldn't you just load a sample into DC though?
Skaka! Of course. Also, ‘of course’ applies to your other option.
Loading tambourine samples in DC will be nowhere near as effective as Skaka. I may not like all Klevgrand apps but Skaka is one of their jewels.
Sorry if this is a really basic question, but does anyone know how to stop DrumComputer pissing around with the pitch when it does fills?
Go in settings and set “pitch bend range” to 0. Thanks for motivating me to figure that out!
Doesn’t “Pitch” icon button in leftmost GLOBAL column (next to “Roll” & under “Random” ) turn this on / off for EACH instrument - if so you can mix it up .
Hmmmm, I have this set to zero for all of them and the auto fills still pitch in weird ways. I've been working around it with by mapping the remix and manually setting fills in automation. Thanks though.
Ha, missed your reply when answering the one above. Thanks, I'll give that a go.
No, that controls whether different midi notes will produce different pitches when you have multiple notes mapped to a single part.
By the way, I think this setting is per-preset, so you’ll have to set it in each preset where you don’t want pitch bend.
Anyone figure out a way to better organize USER samples? They're all in one big list, which is a b$tch to navigate.
I'd love to have a dedicated controller for DC so that I can basically make a machinedrum clone. Anyone using anything good?
It seems like in the keyboard mapping, only the first and last drum sounds can be set to pitch up or down depending on the note. Anyone figure out how to map zones where each hit is able to be pitched up or down via note? EDIT: The manual seems to imply that only the first mapped hit can be bipolar. Bah.
@slicetwo I emailed SugarBytes about item #1 and I received this answer, on December 9th, 2020.
"We are aware of the subfolder issue, unfortunatly it's a big task and i can't promise a quick solution."
I still think it needs a better import system, in order to achieve its true potential, as one of the best drum synths on the platform.
Yeah. I love DC, but I'm thinking Sugarbytes isn't all that great on the follow-up/follow through on their apps.
just saying.. This is a mean machine..
Did you find the answer? It’s the Remix/Auto 1 & 2 feature but I can’t find a way to disengage it.
eta: disengage it by choosing Remix.
It should disengage if you select the ‘remix’ tab. The labelling is a bit weird there
Thank you!
Is anyone else using DrumComputer as an AUv3 and is able to use the per-instrument "mod" cc parameter? I've mapped it via the mod section (I assume its the "Modify" source option) in my drum instrument, but the cc seems to do nothing.
The Pitch and Decay cc parameters work fine. I'm wondering if I'm missing something or its a bug. I've tried both in AUM and Drambo.
I got an answer to my question from Sugar Bytes. Turns out I misunderstood that the CC's noted on the settings page are for the sequencer tracks, so the mod cc there is for Seq 3 (the mod sequencer).
I had thought that you couldn't do midi learn on iOS (because the manual talks about right clicking), but you can via long press. Here is the info Sugar Bytes sent me:
Edit: Turns out there is an iOS manual that I missed when googling. Having this would have saved much confusion.
does anyone have any ideas about how to get drum computer to hold a sustained note?
obviously as a drum synth it’s designed for attack and decay, the on-board envelopes are great for percussion
i’d like to get it to do some long sub basses, but the long decays don't sound quite right (especially from the resonator unit).
i’ve explored most options (particulary with the hold envelope) but maybe overlooked something, so thought i’d ask here
thanks!
Bought this ages ago and have now started using it. It seems really powerful.
I love Drum Computer. They’re very few things I can complain about with that app. But DCs sound engine is pretty cool too.
