What about Drambo and multi-out DrumComputer are you attempting that this doesn’t show?
What do you mean xor. Just sequence drum computer multiout. Turn down a channel then tweak that channel. It will effect other channel.
Yea that's really solid
I don't own a Volca Modular, so I'm not exactly sure how external gate signals work within it's "west coast" design or how Drambo compares to it's internal sequencer. However just looking at the layout of Volca Modular, the CV block could be patched anywhere, so essentially you could use the ipad as a way of expanding the Volca with new modules, like adding additional modulation with LFOs.
@sigma79 I was able to reproduce what you described with DrumComputer and a different MIDI sequencer, so there seems to be something odd on their side and not with Drambo. Incidentally, I was able to reproduce this with the regular Drambo sequencer and playing notes in the AUM keyboard as well.
Separately (though it doesn't have to do with this issue), I saw that you put a MIDI mixer to connect the output of both euclidean sequencers; this is unnecessary, because the euclidean sequencer has an input (like a MIDI thru), so you just need to connect your MIDI output module to the last one. With a MIDI mixer you'd be generating duplicate events which may cause other problems.
Can anyone tell me how to access presets for MYNTH in drambo?
I can’t locate a preset browser for it
The MYNTH UI seems to have its issues indeed...
coolout. Thanks will look into it.
NoiseFloored. Thanks. Definately drum computer.
xor and everyone. Cheers for trying.
Beepstreet. Cheers for update. Filters are good. Didnt have filters apart from a dj filter which is fuzzy. Your filters are worthy of a controller. That make their own song.
Probably wont work but if theres ever a fix. Turn off midi out in drum computer. I messaged the dev. They either didnt understand question or possibly suggesting ( maybe ) an un-fixable feed back. I did switch off midi out.
This has been asked. Sampling wise. I sample via flexi sampler to maybe create more drum kits ( volca drum maybe etc ). Then edit start point. Save. Dosent save start point.
Thanks for interesting in.
from https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/octamicxtc_e.pdf page 52:
"When connected to an iPad, the analog input 1 works with mono apps, inputs 1 and 2 with ste- reo apps (both dual mono and stereo), and up to 8 inputs with multi-channel applications like MultiTrack DAW and Music Studio. Garage Band supports all inputs, but only two at a time. Auria and Cubasis can record all 24 inputs simultaneously.
Playback will use analog outputs 1 and 2, or even more channels if the app supports such op- eration, like Auria and Cubasis, which allow to use all 24 output channels of the XTC.
"
From my observation:
If I do proper power cycle on all devices (especially USB hubs) I can get
all 24 in 24 out from AUM, and auria cubasis.
No problem with 24 inputs in Drambo standalone or in AUDIOBUS, but
outputs are limited to 4 mono. At now I use AUMm as host.
AND second topic: CPU usage on iPad Pro 4-th 64samples buffer 48kHz:
I sequence hardware synths, samplers in AUM from many ATOMPIANOROLL2 (gate mode) which is MIDI remote triggered by hardware sequencer ensoniq SD-1 or pyramid.
I like piano roll view so I used ATOM and LK. (Didn't find in LK "gate" mode so at this moment I used PIANOROLL2.)
But 8 columns MIDI in AUM with 3 instances of PIANOROLL2 is ~65% CPU usage.
Adding DRAMBO stereo and Virtual AND plus next 4 instances of ATOMPIANOROLL2 is CPU kill on my iPad.
During building the song, I find iPad more and more unstable. Yes it is the problem.
Many times AUDIOBUS3 in background drop connection to AUM (no MIDICLOCK slave then), and overall........ guys,
I love to hear DRAMBO, and many more plugins at one, or at least "unlimited" MIDI tracks.... no, it is not now. Maybe Mac M1 cpu, etc.....
Or use ATOM as recorder editor and then sending files via memory card to hardware sequence and forget about modularity of sequencers......
Probably you know what I mean.
How are you managing bigger sessions MIDI on your setups with iPad?
(yes I have BM3, Cubasis3, Zenbeats and more, but still AUM and modularity is more fun for me)
nostalgia//// OK time to start a day
I don’t have any answers, but just wanted to say thanks for giving me some new ideas with the Drum Computer sequenced by some Euclidean sequencers thing! That looks fun!
I tried the 24 x Atom2 + Drambo multich on my Air3 13.7 - @128 it freaked out, but @64 cpu went down to ~50% 🤷♂️
In practice I rarely go above 50% to preserve some cpu for general stability/timing.
I gave up on ultra low buffer - 64 and lower - because I can still hear the latency, so need to compensate manually, but then why stress the cpu?
Also, more than one host especially @low buffer will always be more ‘vulnerable’.
I recently started to use Drambo alone with AUs and my hw synths and it’s a blast.
As for the interface...
Could you please try the following to see if it makes any difference
Power on your rig (without iPad attached) start Drambo (still no interface attached), then attach interface.
Another thought...
With my Babyface, TotalMix app has a setting for ‘interface initialisation’, with options ‘stereo’, ‘multichannel’ and ‘no preference’
Never really payed much attention to this, because most apps (desktop or iPad) ignored it anyway. While testing Drambo I noticed that Drambo does respond to this setting, so it may worth a try to check around rme forum.
Need to find a way to edit samples. Think transposing samples via keyboard might be better than tweaking knobs and you can just add effects anyway. Gonna add 5 more Euclidean just for drums + sounds. 12 euclidean drums and maybe more for synths but synths can also be normal.
Sampling fixed. Now for sampling.
I also only have 2 of my 8 outputs in Drambo although 8 are available in AUM
Can you tell a bit more about your interface?

Is there a way to create more than 8 multi outs, without having to add another Drambo with just 5 multi outs? Kind of makes the setup bad. Another sequencer overlay etc. Less screen space. Confusion.
You can add more tracks in Drambo but theres no more ext out past 8.
No, there is no way to add additional ‘output bus’. At least not currently
Is that aum or Drambo? If Drambo upgraded would aum still only have 8?
Shame. Iv always found a way to map controllers. Wont be possible. I kind of lose 5 euclidean tracks.
It's the way Drambo is designed. The plugin developer decides how many outputs to provide. miRack is the only one I know of that has more than eight outputs.
Why do you need so many audio outputs? Do you really need each and every audio output on its own channel in AUM?? Unless you're adding FX on every channel, there's little reason not to group channels into a single output.
keyboard. If you use 2 sequencers and keyboard has to be pointed at both. Switching tracks via drambo screen would still be sending midi to another track.
That makes no sense to me. Multi-outs are for audio. They have nothing to do with MIDI. You can send MIDI on 16 channels even without multi-out.
Filter out all but the midi channel you need in each AUM channel that you want to send MIDI to.
You decided I dont need multi out lol. Drambo effects are good but multi out gives you effects apps. Stems in aum. Midi mixer for vols and solos. If I keep multi out and use a second sequencer for the same external keyboard. Switching tracks on a drambo sequencer wont switch tracks on the other sequencer. A midi issue because of lack of multi out.
But you are right. I think you can add tracks in drambo ( just not more multi out ) This would fix the midi issue via keyboard.
I didn't say that you don't need multi out. I said I don't understand why you need it based on the reasons you stated. Screw it. I was just trying to help . Shoulda known better 'cause I almost never understand what the heck you're talking about.
Carry on! I'll leave you to it. ✌🏼❤️
Thanks wim. Just think multi out would be better for stems in aum. Effects and maybe the implentation of midi mixer. It would effectivly mute drambo patterns, which could still be edited around the midi mixer solos and volumes. Otherwise its trying to work out what pattern to mute in drambo, when you performed in aum. This is mainly a live track though and I do see the negatives in trying to perform track live but thought I were onto a live and editable setup. The keyboard thing to both sequencers would still be sending midi and hearing audio when switching tracks. If I believe I have found a remedy its mapping another midi controller so that when switching tracks there. It will also switch to an empty track on the other sequencer. Assuming Drambo can recieve midi on multiple drambos. Most of my bs is just theory anyway. I just think how to map everything and it ends up ipad will freeze sometimes anyway.
That makes sense if you really need your stems broken down to that level. I rarely want individual stems for every kick, hat, snare, etc. But I can see how one would want that for serious mixing in a DAW.
Cool wim. Think I will see if I can map midi from a controller so that a track switch also switches to a blank track in other sequencer.
Thanks.
Think also. If midi mixer is ideal. Then I keep composition of aum, without needing to edit drambo patterns but can still maybe edit p-locks. This is with euclidean sequencer though. Still unsure about euclidean. Not every track will be euclidean and its more techno-y than not, when just tweaking live but some patterns are good.
Thanks, I wasn’t understanding what you were trying to point out. I don’t think it has anything to do with tweaking knobs although that might force the problem. It also has nothing to do with the channel volume, that just makes it easier to hear. I also ran this in single-out(?) mode and it still exhibits the same issue.
I have an AUM session that triggers that behavior all by itself. It starts glitching at about 0:30.
Here’s a screenshot of a midi monitor capture right after a double-hit on the B0 (note 35). Notice that there’s only one B0 between the two B4s (note 83). The A1s (note 45) are on the silent channel.
Here’s a link to the AUM project if a you want to send it on to SB as an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d70fo1pcbipif2x/DramboDCGlitches.aumproj?dl=0
