Hey, I need somebody too. To paint my house.
I used "SWAM" midi setting in Geoshred while using it as midi controller for SWAM Brass app... But the trick is in the SWAM brass apps where you need to set "MPE" option on in Midi settings... Its a bit hard to find that option, let me know if you dont find.. If you don't care about MPE stuff (slide, glide, expressions etc) then its not needed to turn on MPE option in the SWAM app.
Thanks!
Okay, my first conclusions is that it is very difficult, if not impossible to map properly GeoShred MIDI OUT to SWAM IOS CC.
I just managed to have the expression (CC 11) on the expression Pad to work properly.
For everything else (overridden velocity, growl, flutter, ...), I failed.
To make it simple, I can’t have the same controls working as easily as with GeoSwam instruments.
I think I need to wait for @moForte to release a new build with a dedicated « Swam iOS » midi out preset.
Anyway, this confirms that - for now - GeoSwam instruments are still irreplaceable and worth buying.
Has anyone tried the beta with an old Air2 and <=128 buffer ?
This why I wanted the brass instruments to be a part of the GeoSWAM family, not be put in a separate app.
Well, hopefully things will get better.
Isn’t it forbidden to make demos for these apps?
Maybe i’m wrong.
sorry, unfortunate choice of words on my part.
Audio Modeling can do whatever they want with their SWAM tech, but what would please me would be GeoBrass IAPs in GeoShred
Can anyone help with some clear instructions how to enable all the MPE parameters for external controllers? I’ve found the ‘enable MPE’ in the ‘advanced settings’ of the standalone, but then I get stuck. I’m very used to mapping CCs for Knob and slider parameters, but I don’t know how to map MPE parameters that come with the notes (like aftertouch/pressure).
I’m using an Artiphon 1, works fully and fantastically for MPE with the GeoSWAMS, but missing velocity and vibrato in the Brass SWAMs (as discussed already in this thread).
Absolutely loving the sounds and playing though, had a full brass ensemble going last night, going through them individually now, fully convincing myself I am an undiscovered musical genius (at one particular velocity anyway).
I haven't found it if it exists but custom keyboard scale would help this keyboard dope.
Anyone know if the strings are on their way. That's what really interests me.
According to the beta documentation all SWAM instruments are coming to iOS in 2021
Yes, and strings ensemble is due to the end of 2021 (well, as of now...).
I also would like but I doubt this will ever happen as it would too directly compete with the standalone version.
Works fine on my Air2 right down to 64 samples.
How long does the beta remain on TestFlight?
@LinearLineman about 89 days as a rule. In my experience that has been the standard. When an update comes out it's another 89 days.
There's no doubt. They flat out told me no, as posted earlier.
Thank you @Ailerom. I dread the prices to come!
@LinearLineman Me too. I fear it may make the Geoshred prices look ok. And without any keyboard scale features Geo is probably more playable for me.
The midi mapping button is on the top right of the screen. Press that button, and all the parameters on the screen will be highlighted purple or green. Click on whichever of these you want to map, and this will bring you to a mapping screen for that specific parameter.
Change the “message” to after touch, or you can assign it to a specific cc. Expression is best assigned to aftertouch for most midi controllers. I don’t know what other cc messages are sent by the Artiphon, but you can do this same process for any SWAM parameter such as vibrato or growl.
Also; on the top right of this mapping screen, there is a midi learn button if you don’t know the Artiphon’s specific cc numbers. Just below this is a “curve” button, which allows you to manually change the response curve for that specific parameter.
You can also map multiple parameters to the same cc or message. For instance, you can have expression and growl both mapped to aftertouch; and change the growl curve so that it only kicks in at the highest pressure. This is what geoswam does with the saxophone.
@steve99 Another thing to consider is that you may need to change pitch bend to fit the Artiphon, so that your slides and bends are accurate. This is found on the “pitch” page on the left. It defaults to 12, but most mpe controllers are at 48.
Just experimented on my iPad Pro2 with Cubasis3. Five instances all ran smoothly for ten minutes. Then Cubasis shut down and would not open even after a hard reboot. Only “C” icon appeared and would not open. Scared the shit out of me, lol!. Deleted SWAM and all returned to normal. Sounded great while it was working. Sigh. I wrote AudioModeling about it.
Thanks very much for all that, I'll give it a go later. I've been in to the midi mapping settings, but I wasn't sure what to do in this MPE case (despite years spent in the midi mapping settings of other software). Very useful to have some concrete advice.
Artiphon have a list of I1 MIDI messages on this page (scroll down to MIDI Mapping).
Both velocity and vibrato are working for me with the Brass; you need to have Tilt turned on in the Artiphon app for vibrato.
I would think so too but which company would say no to this? Free market research, less money on marketing as people make demos and generate hype. Free testing to find bugs, even extended to the people listening to demos who may spot something other users may miss.
