  • Thanks mairena.

    Not sure why Aum has the access folder.

    but if I need midi.

    I open original project. Add a Drambo auv3. Drag and drop midi via clip launcher.

    Save preset.

    Then open Drambo. Then open preset. Copy the midi back to main Drambo.

  • Save folder ( to save session )

    Track saves ( inside folder named by synth ) and made from save folder.

    When needing midi.

    Make another track save and add a +.

    Song folder ( a definate song )

    I’ve been using Drambo for all midi sequencing duties in Loopy recently and it’s such a great fit!

    I’m struggling with the piano roll a little though. Is there any simple way to move selected notes up an octave for instance? I try dragging them but always accidentally change the length of all the notes, then undo always does something unexpected.

    I'm relying on the piano roll a lot. And I wouldn't want to switch between views for editing.
    You might want to try tap-dragging the selection itself instead of one of the notes.
    That's why I usually drag the selection frame a bit larger than just the notes to move, and make sure the display brightness is high enough to see the piano keys on the background.

    BTW, the latest release has fixed a few minor editing issues in piano roll that happened on some iDevices.

    Good shout. Didn’t realise you could move the selection.

    Always takes a while to get used to piano rolls. I do always miss the simple moving tools from atom 2 / xequence / NS2
    Having to drag notes around when you have more than one bar is never much fun.

    Did you use the bar navigator yet?
    You can select any range of bars to display, even while dragging the selection!

    I do use it yeah but definitely not to its full potential. I didn’t know it could use it whilst moving notes for instance.

    I think I need to watch some videos!

  • Is there any patchstorage like Flux pro?

    Envelope shapers, more than Drambos envelope mod?

    I may have a use for Flux pro but not for anything its designed for.

    Will check app again but feel maybe Id be all midi and flux isnt really that midi.

    Drambo dosent really map apps buttons ( unless theres a module for indirect mapping )

    Drambo crashes apps that dont map via knob movement ( trying to map the left and right arrows of an apps preset banks for example ) Is like mapping Flux pro alter pattern.

    and im not sure fkux is really a scene switcher ( and by midi )

    Where you make a pattern. Then goes to another graph pattern made.

    Kind of just stuck with a repeating envelope and effects.

  • Drambo has super complex automation, what are you doing with flux that can be done with automation?

    It dosent work well with Drambo. Instead of flux having stored graph shapes to add to graphs. Should have been midi triggered graph settings. With bypassable midi ( Drambo dosent trigger additional key ) So you can sequence graph scenes.

    I gained Tomofon waves from a flux pro but doubt I need flux pro just for Tomofon.

    I'm not understanding your problem, but I can tell you that you can route, mix and filter midi however you like inside drambo.

  • I have an issue in automation of Moog Model 15 "reverse attenuator" - drambo only see positive range of that knob.. does anyone know what can be done? I tried routing through moog's midi in module - same result.

  • I tried recording such automation in cubasis btw - it does record! But you cannot see or edit the negative range. Frustrating..

    This appears to be an oversight by @MoogMusicInc. The AUv3 parameter range reported to AUM for "Rev. Att. Level 1" is 0–>1, so the MIDI CC is scaled to that range, which only accesses the positive values. It will be the same for Drambo. The Model 15 app needs to report the range as -1–>1 to get the correct result.

    If you save a preset.

    Does it not save sequencer data?

    You mean track presets? Then no. They're made for saving track states so you can change the complete content of a modular rack (e.g. loading a new instrument) without modifying your sequence.

    Rack presets with embedded CV or Gate sequencers will store their sequences inside the rack though.

    A future version might offer new ways of using tracks and sequences but it seems that the current concept works for most users.

    Cheers.

    Just been making tracks with sequences.

    Feels like Im stuck finishing a song.

    If I cant save and import to another song.

    Unless I re-record all midi.

    You cant even copy and paste midi from project to project?

    You can drag and drop sequences between drambo instances, just load two drambos in aum or any other host and drag and drop

    Actually, you don't even need AUM, you can host Drambo as AU inside Drambo standalone 😉 Drag n drop of clips work as well between AU and standalone.
    The only thing is, automation is not transferred 😕

    Regarding sequencing graph scenes inside Drambo, a graphic modulator’s gate input can be connected to a trigger button, and then the trigger button can be P-locked to any step. I think that’s how I remember doing it. But it can be done. I hope this helps.

    Will try Drambo graphs, later.

  • A little Drambo project file inspired by the Roland SH-4D announcement today. Grab the project file in the YouTube description:

  • Hi guys,

    I have this question. I use an external sequencer (beatstep pro), everything works beautifully. But I have a problem with recording automation.

    The idea is this, beatstep is a clock that triggers sequential tracks in Drambo and is synced via MIDI Clock over usb.

    I would like to record automation in Drambo's internal sequencer, but ONLY automation. When I press Record, drambo records notes from the beatstep and a midi echo appears.

    How can I make Drambo not record the notes, but only the automation itself? I know that trigger notes are not needed for automation.

    Any ideas?

  • You can disable MIDI input on each track.
    You can also add Morph knobs (as more advanced modulation sources) and map them via MIDI learn if you need more flexibility in automation.

    Thanks for tips :)

    it turned out that it cannot be done in the way I presented, dev intervention is needed.

    From Drambo main setting. Your controller should be there. It has track, control and clock. I think you switch off track.

  • @sigma79 said:

    Then I lose the ability to trigger samples and instruments in Drambo itself.

    I contacted developer, the case is clarified :)

    Ok.

    Not sure what you ment by trigger sequencial tracks.

    Getting around to making some walkthroughs for some patches I’ve shared recently in patchstorage. First of several:

  • Does anyone know what the current status is for exposed auv3 controls in Drambo?
    I was hoping the new morph module would allow this but that does not seem the case. Or do i miss something?

    Thank you!

    You can manually access auv3 parameters by tapping “MAP”
    when you open up the auv3 in dRambo.
    Tap “MAP”, adjust the parameter/s and a number should appear beneath “MAP.
    The number increases the more mappings you make.
    When you close the auv3 you will see to it’s left the parameters that you’ve mapped.
    Here is where you can modulate the parameters.
    In this screenshot you can see both the active auv3 with
    the “MAP” button in red and underneath it the auv3 parameters.

    Did you mean Drambo AUv3 parameters being exposed in a host such as AUM? Or internally as described above?

    [edit] nvm. I see that is indeed what you're asking about and that you also asked over on the Drambo forum where you're most likely to get an informed answer. 👍🏼
    [edit2] ... but haven't received one. 😬

    In that regards, dRambo doesn't expose auv3 parameters as far as I know
    and the most straight forward way of automating dRambo like this is to send
    tried and tested cc messages from whatever (midi controllers etc)
    and map that to the parameter in dRambo that you need to adjust,
    obviously you can also use midi notes instead.

    I think you can use all 127 cc messages except 64 which is for sustain.

    @tpj - I'm interested to understand why using AUv3 parameters are preferable over direct CC control for you.
