Thanks... Going and get..
There is a lot there so going to take a while to ingest. Thanks @j_liljedahl !
Nice update, thanks for the heads up!
I love the thinner plugin title bar and the removal of the window size handle when the plugin window is maximized - there's more real estate for LK
MIDI Bus going to be useful for grouping related generators. I also appreciate the extra screen space changes.
Choosing input source (Settings) means that you can record from any of the iPad mics even if you have a USB interface attached which I don't think was possible before.
A how-to video would be nice... Thanks Mr. AUM..
Double tap space empty space to hide / bring back av3’s is awesome
Sweet update so far !!
Great work
@j_liljedahl Wow, cool !
I don‘t want to spoil the party
but i run into problems with Rock Drummer or any of the Lumbeat Drummers, these no longer play alongside AUM. I tried Link On, Link On + Start, or Link Disabled settings, but couldn‘t get these to start.
In the Link modes, the Play button (inside the drummer) blinks correctly on the bar, even the current bar is started - but they don‘t start to play!
.
Another ‚bug‘ i noticed is that in the moment i re-enable link in AUM while such a drummer IAA is loaded, the AUM tempo jumps to 20bpm and i have re-adjust it back to the previous tempo.
They work as expected here... It may be network issues 'over there'.. Edit... Or the usual 'Reboot' thing ..
Ok, i check. Already had rebooted the iPad because of the missing AUv3 bug at the first start auf AUM. I just now tested Drumjam and Elastic beats IAA, which both worked and played in sync with AUM.
@j_liljedahl
NopeE - i can‘t get Future Drummer, Mid-East Drummer, Jazz Drummer, Rock Drummer, Indian Drummer, Reggae Drummer or Funk Drummer to play with AUM any more. Lumbeats iBassist works in Link disabled/disabled and Link Sync start modes.
I tried several other IAA with sequencers or drums now:
Working: DrumJam, Elastic Drums, ElectribeWave, Gadget, Sector, PureAcid (IAA) work as before.
Problems:
I have an iPad 10.5 Pro running IOS 14.8
I am very happy with the (qwerty) Keyboard shotcuts! (Press CMD to see them all!); Play/Pause with the spacebar, etc., etc....
@Harro, yeah the keyboard commands are really helpful - i also like the midi source grouping, noticed the CC and midi message filters. I‘ll probably need go through the update info list to catch all the new features ;-)
Just had a weird one with Fundamental that seems to be repeatable.
Tried it because I had to fiddle with the window previously to see the full interface - now just maximising works, so that’s the plus.
The minus is that is no longer makes any sound unless you select another bank, at which point it starts to play the loaded preset, but sometimes it does the reverse of what the trigger button is supposed to do (play sound when activated, silent when not). It was working fine in the previous version of AUM, and hasn’t been updated, so it’s the AUM update that’s the difference.
Nice!
iPhone 11 iOS 15.1
Reggae drummer works fine for me
Midi node is amazing. Filtering CC's and message typed
Lovely update - might just be expectation bias but it feels a lot smoother on my iPhone 13 pro.
Funk drummer is working just fine here. iPad OS 14
I have adopted the technique of launching Lumbeat apps before adding them as IAA in AUM. That said, Soft Drummer is syncing up with the latest AUM release for me.
The mix-bus naming will help in organizing session, i‘m going to use that a lot
.
I‘m slowly working through my list of IAAs… Blockwave also doesn‘t start/play anymore when loaded in AUM, many others behaved well. BeatMaker 3 doesn‘t load at all, but i never did that, so i don‘t know if loading in AUM worked before
The Patterning 2/AUM combo also has problems on my iPad.
@GRiker Yes, already tried that order but it didn‘t help. Up to now it seems i‘m the only one experiencing the „IAAs wont start playing“ problem - which is good in one way (not too people affected, not many bug reports about broken things), but also bad (harder to debug and i can‘t use several of my session anymore)
@_ki, I usually load BlocsWave and GrooveBox into AB3, sending the output to AUM. This makes it easier to switch windows using AB3's sidebar. You might try it to see if syncing works in that scenario.
Huge update! Thanks @j_liljedahl! Will have to dive in tonight. Massive to have midi busses, will taking routing to the next level. AUM has one of the best routing systems of any DAW.
Huuge update, awesome!!!
Wondering about that AU tag implementation you told me in other AUM thread, @j_liljedahl . Is it there and I can't find it, or is it coming later?
Thanks for this great update!! Cheers
BlocsWave hasn’t started in AUM for a long time now.
@j_liljedahl The User Guide isn't dated. Is it in sync with this release? If so, I'll start there for learning more about the new features.
Is it just me or has the update not yet reached the west coast of US?
Thank you @j_liljedahl! After seeing all the additions to MIDI routing, do you think there’s a chance of adding customization to the keyboard icon/double tap gesture?
Are you sure this is an AUM problem? I haven't opened Patterning 1 in a long time but I just tried and I can't get it to start at all either, with or without a host. Wondering if it's the same issue with v2. edit, ok I can get it to work in Apematrix...
Plugin window maximized size interferes with the iPadOS home bar. Is there a way to disable the home bar per app or is it up to the developer to enable some kind off fullscreen mode?
I haven't changed anything that would cause such issues as far as I know. Are you sure Link Sync Start/Stop is enabled in all apps? Also, why use Link instead of host sync? Both IAA and AUv3 has direct access to the host sync and should follow that instead of going via Link.
AUM has no way to interfere with what a plugin does inside its own user interface, such as selecting banks or triggering buttons.
I'm hoping to add that in the future!
Unfortunately no, on ipads without home button this indicator is always visible as far as I can tell. I probably need to avoid the lower part of the screen for maximized AUv3 windows
I figure you've already checked, but just in case ... do all involved apps have Local Network access enabled?
