MultitrackStudio updated with AB

MTS has a Soundfont player, so you can bring your own drumsamples. The internal sounds are just GM. The internal effects are really good, and plenty. The chord function absolutely beats the chord pads in Cubasis. Much more flexibility, and quality of chords. No auto repeat. No preprogrammed drums. You can audiopaste drum beats.

Thanks again for the helpful info mgmg4871

MTS Does allow midi sequencing from MTS editors of the AB input app: (this from dev)

"Currently you can send MIDI to one app:

1. Tap Studio, then Devices. Now select the app in MIDI Out Device box.
2. Tap a MIDI track's Instrument Slot and load the 'External' instrument. Now the MIDI events are sent to the MIDI Out Device, which happens to be the app. Note that multiple MIDI tracks can use the 'External' instrument, so multiple tracks can be routed to the app.

Sending MIDI to multiple apps would probably be useful. It's on the 'list of thing to be considered', but that list is rather long

Glad I asked, I wouldn't have known, though it makes sense

Can anyone comment on the ease of editing within the app? Like copy/pasting bars of midi and audio, importing midi from AudioShare via the pasteboard, and how we'll it interfaces with other virtual synths? thanks.

I don't do a lot of MIDI sequencing, personally, but only being able to MIDI sequence one app from a multitrack DAW is just nuts...

@PaulB
What the dev is talking about here is that MTS is not yet able to midi sequence and record multiple apps through AB. There's no such limit on IAA apps.

@Coloobar
Editing in MTS is really slick, it's become my favorite, definitely over Cubasis, and edging out BM2 (chiefly because MTS is one screen rather than BM2's multi screen deal). Notably Auria just adopted one of MTS's approaches: "ripple editing"
MTS editing and transport controls exploit two hands on the iPad, which partly accounts for the rapidity of editing.
There is a learning curve but it's not too steep, and once u settle in its very very fast.
MTS supports piano roll, drum notation and score editors, along with mid-song tempo and time sig changes, triplets etc.
It also has a song editor in which whole multitrack chunks of your tune (with all controller automations etc) can be copy/pasted with impunity.

Copy paste from one track to another is also pretty slick (one cool thing, mono tracks of audio can be pasted into a midi track, allowing u to turn audio into midi info. Also the midi you've used to sequence an IAA app is render- able to audio with one touch, with the option to bake-in the fx as a separate step)

Import from Audioshare (for soundfonts into the player, and .wav into tracks) is simple and direct. It's as if Audioshare is a 2nd page of MTS.

To be more specific, MTC cannot sequence more than one app simultaneously.

..maybe I'm off on my terminology-

I've edited midi notes for as many as 3 IAA apps in MTS, (right now it's 2: iSEM and NLog), and sent the midi info (notes and controller automation) to those apps simultaneously - when I hit "play" in MTS, Ive got all tracks playing at once.

It's true that the tracks are rendered as audio as a separate step, is that what you mean, mgmg4871?
