No problem! I was mostly thinking, is there a hidden menu to get some midi power tools. Would be a pity if it is, and I am still doing stuff manually, slowly.
The midi modules look promising, gonna work with them asap.
@rs2000 I'm trying to figure out how to record MIDI input into the sequencer, from a generator hosted in Drambo.
I know how to route MIDI from one track to another. I know how to record into a Drambo AU instance, hosted in Drambo or AUM. But how do I get these notes, the ones in the MIDI monitor, to show up in the sequencer below?
I saw this video, where it looks like it just does it automatically.
@Skyblazer it can't be done with Drambo alone, you'll need an external standalone app that you send MIDI to from Drambo and then sends the same input back into Drambo. If you look closely, in that video the step sequencer has the single notes, not the chords generated from them by ChordPolyPad AU.
Wow. We are blessed by Giko, the Saint.
@Skyblazer Sorry, no. If you look closely at 1:21, he only plays and records C3 and D3 on Drambo's keyboard and the sequencer output is translated live into chords by ChordPolyPad.
.
@Grandbear @rs2000 Ah okay, thanks. I figured out how to route it through AUM.
I think this was covered in the original Drambo thread at some point, but here's the info for anyone who's curious:
-AUM needs to have a plugin loaded for it to process MIDI in the background, but nothing needs to be routed through it.
-AUM receives MIDI from "AUM Destination" and sends it to Drambo.
-Drambo's MIDI sending channel can't have a MIDI to CV module at the beginning of it, even if it's not linked to anything to the right of it.
-Drambo's MIDI receiving channel, or at least the oscillator itself, can't be actively receiving MIDI when the sequence is being played back. Using "Channel Filter" to filter out the MIDI it's receiving from AUM allows the sequencer to target the oscillator properly.
-The sending track can use the MIDI output module, or MIDI Output in the Track Settings. If the latter is used, a channel and destination do need to be specified there.
-The receiving track's MIDI input needs to be set to "ALL" in Track Settings, because AUM isn't listed there.
@Skyblazer If you need this in Drambo standalone, you can also have FreEWI running in the background. It will mirror all MIDI sent to it and provide a new MIDI port that you can use as a track input in Drambo.
It’s likely to still be a few weeks away at least, but it’ll totally blow your collective minds.> @raabje said:
I think the midi modules are your best bet there.
I don’t know if this has been discussed earlyer but I stumbled apon this grafical thing in drambo when using instrument racks in the mixer.
There seems to be a POST/PRE switch hideing under the master volume. I will appear when a mixer module is inserted in an instrument rack and the rack is in compact view.
Is this an upcomming POST/PRE fader feature?
If it allready works i can’t figure out how to use it
Hello!
I don’t think this has been spotted before: live recording tracks creates files which have the date and time in them.
Problem is that time uses the hh:mm notation and the [ : ] character isn’t allowed on windows, making direct WebDAV transfer (without renaming) impossible. Would it be possible to change this naming convention in a future update?
Thanks!
Can you post this on the Beepstreet forum please.
Sure! Thanks!
Just wanted to share a little easy trick for you. I like to record my live performances but I found the track volume faders too small and fiddly to play with (same with a dedicated drambo fader control). So I'm using a larger AU midi CC generator (here it's X-Keys with faders added to the left of the keyboard - could be LK) and map these to the volume of each track.
Added bonus: these faders won't jump so there's no abrupt change in volume (you can even smooth them more). Cons: these faders need to be tweaked everytime you launch the project because they won't send their value initially. Also make sure to set each track to a low value but not -inf (the minimum). @rs2000 If a track is marked -inf, drambo won't live-record it even if you arm it a modulate it.
@jsmonzani Are you sure that you've enabled global recording again?
Starting with track vol = -inf doesn't disable recording here.
Oh really? Yes I had clicked the global record button. Oh well if you can't reproduce it, no worries! Thanks a lot for checking!
Hi all - experiencing some clicks/pops in the exported wav file when using the 'export song' in Drambo 2. Running on an iPhone6 with FAC Alteza reverb on each of the 3 tracks that make up the 12 minute song. Maybe too heavy of a load to export at 32 bit on this older iPhone? Is there a way to lower the export bit depth? It plays through the song fine with no issues though. May try switching to one Alteza on a mix bus vs. one on each track but wanted to check here before reconfiguring the setup.
iPhone 6 doesn’t have much horse power. It’s probably a hardware issue with the Alteza stuff taking it over its capacity.
If you disable all Alteza processor modules, does the export still crackle?
No matter which CPU, this should not happen when rendering and exporting offline.
The first thing I'd check is output level on the master.
If you're exporting at 32 bit, is there a chance that your output is going over 0db? That could cause problems in converting back to 16bit for playback.
thanks guys, will check those things out. also going to try exporting once I get my iPad Air 3 back from the shop...may do a better job.
Midi mapping question…
Is it possible to map each individual “cell” of the clip launcher to unique midi notes?
I’d like to map the clip launcher to the buttons on an APC 40 original model.
You can. I have been using my Launch Pad Mini to launch clips in the pattern sequencer, which I believe sends midi note info (don't have it in front of me right now). With your controller connected, hit the midi map button in Drambo (all mappable parameters turn blue) then press the button on your controller that you want to map to the clip. The clip cell will then turn yellow with the mapped note info displayed on it.
Was tempted to actually DO something in Drambo, then god sidetracked by the store. I've bought both the waves and formant IAP but can't find the things anywhere and when I click to restore it doesn't do anything!! Help!!!!
Are the wavetable and formant oscillators not in the generators list?
They appeared finally! I guess the Store was just being slow!! Thanks!

I've asked this in the Tardigrain thread, but try here as well. Tardigrain is unresponsive to Drambo sequencer / keys when hosted as and AU3. I've tried with and without the Midi > CV converter. Am I overlooking something, or is it not possible?
Which Tardigrain AU are you using? There are three, but only the instrument and the MFX version of the effect respond to MIDI. You don't need a MIDI to CV converter; plugin MIDI inputs can be connected to MIDI directly.
[Edit] One more thing: if this doesn't work, check what MIDI channel is Tardigraing set to. If it's not Omni or 1, you'll either need to change that or Drambo's channel.
Thanks @Grandbear I've tried the AU Extension and AU MFX. Still nothing. (Midi channel checked).
