    Is there a scale feature somewhere for the keyboard? Like minor, major, etc..... root key?

  • rs2000rs2000

    Of course, for smoothing out p-locks you could also add a simple Misc > Knob, automate that and put a Misc > Slew Limiter or a Processor > Filter with LPF and low cutoff frequency behind that.

    Yeah I’m a piano roll kinda guy so it’s pretty essential to me, although LK can provide that I suppose. Lots to experiment with!

    Atom 2 looks like a piano roll with bells and whistles and cherries on top so will probably still be the one of choice when it arrives.

    Just wanted to pop by and say that I've been testing Atom 2 in Drambo for about a month now, and it was really darn hard to keep my mouth shut about it :) Works really nice, and it's motivating me to keep on it and release after I'm done with my short break.

    Excellent news 👌

    @rs2000 good suggestions! The power of modular. One also has the scenes with its fader.

    You can build one using multiple Misc > CV Quantizer and Mixer > Switch N-1 modules.
    Pitch from MIDI to CV goes to a Processor > Graphic Shaper, then to all CV Quantizers, then each to a Switch N-1 input.
    The Graphic Shaper is the easiest way to adjust upper and lower limits of input pitch range.

    I was already p-locking effects to auv3. Drambo effects thats is, in effects slot of an auv3. Make sequencer same length. Then add where you think effects start and end. Kind of works. Would use for probability delays, bit crusher.

    has anyone noticed that if you use two shot samplers in the same project, that sometimes the second shot sampler doesn’t always get triggered from midi? i set up one shot sampler on the second pad to play a kick, and that get’s triggered 100% of the time from midi. then i set up another shot sampler on the third pad with a snare and it only gets triggered like 50% or 60% of the time. i didn’t do anything else to the pad besides add the shot sampler, load in a sample, and put some notes in the step sequencer. i didn’t set up any condition modules or anything. and it happens whether im in standalone or in Auv3 too.

    not sure if i’m missing something or doing something wrong?

    Polyphony=1?

    i changed the polyphony after typing this out to see if that would help and it didn’t do anything :/

    Can you show your patch?

    here's the full patch so you can snoop around if you want:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jXUSVOdLUFWwwHbsQ6zeYGgMZ4stLs4R

    There seems to be something odd with the sample markers, can you try going into sample Edit > Set slices > Remove all slices?

    wow yeah that worked! thanks so much! i have no idea how that could have been messed up? i didn’t set any markers originally, just brought in a sample directly from my sample folder. but it’s good to know i can fix it if it happens again!

    It's not clear from the manual as it suggests Drambo is a work in progress - but is there a clip launcher/arrangement page? Can you build full songs from clips like you would in Ableton or Bitwig?

    In Drambo, you build songs from patterns which can contain any combination of track sequences. You can duplicate patterns, copy or erase individual track sequences, record new ones etc.
    Track sequences are part of a pattern.

    Thanks @rs2000 . I'll try and find a video explaining it to see if it would work for me and what the length limitations are.

    A straight 4/4 pattern can have up to 16x16 = 256 steps. (3/4: 192 steps, 5/4: 320 steps)
    Using these controls, you can choose how many steps you want to see on one screen page:

    Using step buttons has other advantages not found in Live or Bitwig: In sequencer [EDIT] mode, you can hold a step button and toggle notes for that step on the keyboard, both from the internal or from a MIDI keyboard.

    how do i add more steps to the step sequencer i want more than 16

    how do you have multiple horizontal tracks steps?, i can on have 1 row of steps. how do you add more like you did?

  • onerezonerez

    Another question about patterns that I could not find..... how do you get the pattern to advance to the next one after playing for lets say 4 repeats?? And then have it go back and forth. Can you do pattern arrangement, or do you have to do it manually?

  • sigma79sigma79

    but would be cool to add any au effects. Its just I have set up a system that does incoperate much drambo but cant fully commit. Will just have to forget about latest update but has made m> @onerez said:

    Dont think you can make it go back and forth but its the red circle to progress.

  • reasOnereasOne

    i’m still trying to figure out how to send audio from one track to another, to have effects on one to send audio into... i am pretty sure it’s answered in the other mega thread but..😬

    Has anyone had an issue with saving a project with Auv3s, reopening, and then getting no sound? I’m using EG Segments, Continua, and NFM with the Kymatica dub and Space effects. Just three tracks. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, as I was just running a test but I actually liked the result. I have a 10.5 iPad running iOS 13.7. I should add that no other projects have this problem.

    I am really blown away... this AU Hosting is definitely one of the best things that happened lately in regards of updates ;)

    As a Drambo noob, is there a way to show all the channels als sliders instead of the knobs in the channels sections (these master knobs)?
    That would be nice. But i could possible hook up a controller too...

    Sure, just add as many sliders as you need to the main track and route them to the track level knobs like this:

    This is brilliant. Its really a host context that you can form and forge to your liking. I need to get deeper into this rabbitwhole. Thanks for sharing, mate!

    I already said before.... Drambo for ipad is what ableton live was for macOs enviroment, revolutionary and visionary. And it keeps adding more and more functionality... it has become the best piece of software I on my ipad. Period.

    Thanks @giku_beepstreet

    Huh. I believe you but I don't see it.

    Want to play pattern a after pattern b? Or endless pattern a b loop?
    Turn loop of
    The red circle in the middle
    If you give the patter x number of repeats it does that and then plays next following pattern

    lol keep posting my drafts. Is there an audiobus setting which dosent save stuff you dont bother posting?

    Hi, I think something like this has been asked in the past but I can't find the thread, apologies.

    Before I start really digging into trying to learn this thing can someone explain why Drambo is so great. I am not doubting that it is, everyone seems really enthused, and from tinkering with it in the past it seems very very deep. But I still don't think I understand the love that it evokes.

    Is it purely for the love of making your own racks/instruments/effects? That is, is it more the fun of the process rather than the output? Is it for the control you have over what you can do? Is there stuff you can do with audio that you can't do by stringing a load of plugins together? Is it having a sequence integrated with all the modules?

    Let me put it like this. I once heard a standup comedian say why anyone would bother to learn to cook chinese food for themselves, when they could just go to a restaurant. If you learn yourself it takes a load of time, and it won't be as good as the restaurant food anyway.

    Why is it not the same thing with Drambo vs effects and instruments that I could buy? I could spend hours making my own FM synth, but it is not going to be as good as something that I could buy from sugarbytes or whoever.

    Just to reiterate –I am not in anyway dismissing or criticising the product. I just can't quite get what it is that people love so much.

    You can create things that don't exist in pre-existing packages. You can automate certain kinds of parameter movement that is difficult to achieve in other apps. If you like to DIY, it can do what you would need many plug-ins to do.

    If you don't like tinkering, you might not enjoy it.

    Per the Chinese food comment. That sounds like it was spoken by a comedian that doesn't line to cook or is bad at it or is rich enough to eat at good restaurants whenever they want...,or doesn't ever feel
    like making a dish different from what's on the menu. Which is fine. Not everyone likes to cook. Some people don't feel an urge to have that king pao with more garlic and less sauce.

    There are tons of videos of Drambo in action and many tutorials. If you watch those and go "why do
    People like it?" then it probably isn't something you would enjoy.

    State saving lol. If people put more effort into the apps. Id probably be eye ball Paul by now.

    Thats how I done my eye in. Thought white spirit was vodka.

    Seriously though. Iv always been quite blind. You ever heard of pearl drops tooth polish?

    Someone left a bottle of grout tile filler on the sink and i thought it were the pearl drops. Shit was like cement.

    Having a look at Drambo again after a few months: It's starting to make sense, and the AU hosting is a cool feature.

    The problem I haven't figured out yet is: when I fold an instrument, it becomes unresponsive. I can't unfold it, slide it, or even remove it.

    For newbies, I think the two biggest stumbling blocks are:

    1. Playing the first note

    Even the manual is a little unclear about this. Around Drambo is 9 pages into the manual, which is 2 correctly guessed clicks away from a fresh start. Around Drambo assumes the user is starting from a New / Instrument state, but this isn't mentioned, and New has 7 options, so wish them luck guessing.

    1. Recording in standalone

    There is something that looks like a record button, but it doesn't record audio, and the cryptic message regarding P-lock provides no clue to the first time user. The manual has a section on Recording but never mentions that this isn't your parents' record button. (After some intense trial and error, I eventually stopped searching for a built-in way to record and share my creation.)

    I don’t know if this has ever been addressed in previous threads but does the track 8 pad being on its own under the Main button annoy anyone else? I know it’s a minor quibble but it’s always really bugged me and I just don’t get why the two pads haven’t been swapped over yet, it would make for a much neater and logical appearance.
