Cheers!
You were very helpful.
You made my day!
👍
Anytime! Enjoy.
I used both the Turing Machine Mozaic script and Collider from the Rozeta suite to send MIDI data to Drumkit at the same time
Oh Thanks! Love your track !
Thank you!
This. Definitely.

A word of caution: Last night I had two presets go wonky on me. I created them in the standalone using imported samples. When I opened it in the AU it had somehow lost track of the samples used. The sample name was displayed as " - empty - " but on some pads it was playing a sample I hadn't selected and on others silence.
I relocated the samples and loaded them in the AU. But it was still playing the wrong sample. It was playing the first sample in the folder, not the one selected, and not at the right speed. I finally tried substituting a different sample, then going back to the right sample. That seemed to make it re-read the sample. I then saved the preset from the AU and it now works as it should.
I'm sure this is a bug. I'll get around to reporting it soon, but wanted to put out the caution here. I think if you avoid creating presets in the standalone this can be avoided, but I'm not sure.
Just to clarify, we won’t be running Drambo through another host (AUM, etc)? Or do we run two instances of drambo within AUM? One as Midi and one as AU?
Guess I just need to see where everything goes to get it. Anyone have a rocking new drum pattern they’re itching to show off? Lol
If you only want to have FAC Drumkit and Drambo sequencing it then Drambo standalone + AU Drumkit would be enough, but since it has 16 tracks it's gonna take up all of Drambo's channels (you can add more channels but it's hacky). The two alternatives I can think of are:
I can shoot a video tonight if that helps.
Yes! It’d also be great if you could load a single drum from a full kit preset. I think you can do this in eg pulse and digistix if I remember correctly
Yep, done
Thanks for the advice - the template way worked great .— ! )
I think this works like a charm together with ATOM2. It’s a wonderful back and forth relationship and with the midi out pads its really fun to hammer in some beats. I made some rap remix of mos def. love that snare sound
I’m very new to drum synthesis. Do you normally get pitch envelopes? This app makes them easy to understand and they make the sounds hugely tweakable. It’d be great if they were controllable by midi somehow.
Thanks. Final question and I think we got this. What is drum kit Au? Is this a 3rd party app you’re referencing or is this an iteration of Drambo somehow?
Thanks again for the help!
Umm… edit. Ignore me, you were referencing the app we all have been discussing! Forgot that was what it’s called! 🤣
And… I’m up and running! Think I must have been trying to do this from Drambo midi prior. Thanks again!
Oh my, I had to scroll up and check the name of the thread, for a second I thought I was giving advice for the wrong thing all along 😂
Cheers!
Really great work on this, I’m loving using this to design kits. Now we need a FAC synth to go along with it
Any kits to share?. Gimme gimme 😀
Me again…
What sequencer would you recommend to go with DrumKit?. It’s got to be a drum specific step sequencer, I can’t stand piano roll for drums.
Before you jump and say Drambo… yes it’s great and can do it all. BUT simple stuff like setting velocity is not too accesible. You have to go in the step mode editor, bla bla… it’s not a fast workflow
So I’m looking at Octachron and MidiDreams (MidiDrums) which seem quite straightforward and with good features. Although I have to say Zenbeats sequencer seems like it has more features (velocity randomness or jitter as they call it). But Zenbeats sequencer is obviously just for Zenbeats (duh) and unbelievably it doesn’t have probability…
So which one?. Fast and with the most options for racheting, randomness, offset, etc, etc… Oh and live recording finger drumming.
Cheers!
I really like

They don’t have a FAC drum setup yet but you could modify a DrumComputer layout I’m sure. It’s a very flexible app.
midiDreams is my go-to for quick drum sequencing, but fails on the other points you mentioned @tahiche.
EG Pulse, maybe but the real problem with that one is the pattern length limitation. You have to string together patterns.
Maybe Digistix? I don't know if it has midi out though.
Yes, Digistix has midi out.. but i got a crash a couple of days ago using it to control Ting, haven't tried it yet with FAC.
Atom 2 is the best if you’re using more than 8 instruments.
I love LK but both LK and Atom use piano rolls.
Forgot about DigiStix, it seems to offer the same controllers (velocity, pitch, pan, probability), but the UI is not too pleasing with the small dots.
Seems to be one of those cases where I wish I could do a Frankenstein. Drambo and Zenbeats seem to have the most possibilities, randomizing velocity being very important to me, but they have the mentioned weaknesses.
Octachron has that “row length” feature to make it into a sort of Euclidean… plus a really cool logo, might go with it. Thanks for the advices!
Wait… headed over to the AppStore and seeing the screenshots it seems like MidiDreams and Octachron don’t have a record feature. Is that the case?. You can’t finger drum into them?
There are more synths out there than we can use, but if FAC would create one, I would get it
@FredAntonCorvest
I would’ve emailed you but couldn’t find an address on your site. Sorry, don’t use Facebook or that stuff.
I believe FAC Drumkit may have a timing problem. When sequencing it with Atom 2, there will be an intermittent gap in the repeating pattern every 30secs-1min or so. I’ve tested with both of the Ruismaker drum apps and they are rock solid with Atom 2 (even switching the apps with the transport control running. Switching back to Drumkit immediately brought back the gap). Hope you can find a quick fix.
Elastic drums could finger drum? Record. Then be multi out.
if Fac pads are best. What is needed for this app to send out midi like a launchpad per pad and be sequenced ( multi out a bonus )
I probably wont buy a launchpad x but found finger drumming cool from even hexglyphics on an ipad mini. Ipad mini seems cool for drums and a masterpiece of an ipad. So are there any good finger drum pad apps ( including fac pads ) which I assume are good. Dont think Id invest in an x and selling gear to make space, without practicing with an app. Which Id expect to be better than a launchpad mini.
