Asking for a friend with a studio who’s just starting out with Zenbeats and considering an interface with more than 4 input channels, maybe as many as 16. Would only channels 1 to 4 be available for recording or could he choose 5 to 9, etc.?
Hoping it’s not inappropriate to ask another beginner’s question here..
I just can’t seem to find out how to record MIDI ‘straight from an instrument AU’. (Like the internal keyboard from a synth AU for instance, and not using the Zenbeats keyboard). Is this possible in Zenbeats?
@Tarekith , I’m playing around w both NTrack and Zenbeats. I agree about the time line work flow though , great comment .
Not possible currently. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nope, you can extend any pattern an instrument track. Just tap the Pattern icon, then set the pattern size to what you want.
Not possible, currently. Sorry about that.
No problem. Now I know not to go looking any further and just use what’s there..
Interesting. My interface is an iConnect Audio 4+, which has four audio ins and outs. In in the iConfig software, these are listed as channels 15, 16, 17 and 18. All these channels appear in the Zenbeats "audio input" window, but although I have routed Channel 15 into my audio track, the meters do not move.
I suppose I could reconfigure the routing matrix for the interface, but it's a bit baffling.... [NOTE: this is an image from the iConfig manual; these are not my actual settings. I'm away from my studio laptop at the moment.]
I must have been automatically signed in to my account because all I had to do was to go into Settings -> General and press the Update Core Content. Actually, it wasn’t all I had to do - I then had to go into the store and download all of the loops and presets. A button to update everything in one go would be handy 😉
See my updated original question. I found a way, using a combination of Multi and Glue 😉
Ah, cool! I didn’t think to do it from within the pattern itself. Thanks very much!
That refunded on Dec 25 for the 10.81 was for another app call DawnBeat which that one was just a mistake trying to get the 10.81 refunded for the zenbeats
Gotcha. Make sure you have submitted a ticket and they techs will see what they can do. I know subscription purchases are non-refundable on the app store, but if bought two V3 Unlocks, we should be able to figure something out for you.
Just make sure you have submitted a ticket with your info
https://www.roland.com/backstage/zenbeats-support
and someone will reach out. Please note, we had 2 extra days for the holiday this year, so it may take a little longer than usual to get a reply. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Cheers!

and yes i have done so, because i call apple about it and they told me that have to report the problem to roland first, which then i did
and this was what they told me
which what they told me wasn’t the case and i try to let them know that it wasn’t the case by presenting them the screenshot and records of all the purchase and all the purchases numbers and records, but they seems too lazy to verify the purchase, because even with all the screenshots of the receipt and all the provided proof, they still Denied the refund, because the purchase records should provide everything that im talking about, plus why would i need to buy the same purchase of the same thing, on the same account and email, its obvious that it doesn’t make sense and that the purchase has to be a mistake that should be refunded back
Sorry, but huh? I don't think I've even commented in this thread yet, so not sure what you're referring to.
i have submitted a ticket like i mentioned on the other comments and like i also mentioned i don’t do subscriptions, plus here is another prove that i didn’t by accident bought a core subscription
which first of all, i was just looking at it, and it says that a month subscription if free, so if that was the case, why would they charge me for if its free for one month trial ?
and again i never did
but anyway thank you for your help !
I stand corrected when it comes to the number of channels, I have misunderstood, sorry about that🙏. ZB is meant to read the number of outputs your device has, nothing else.

Are they named like that when checking the inputs in Zenbeats? Could it be that you have to use channel 1 to 4 instead in your software and name them the same? And that Zenbeats don’t assign channels to any incoming audio above 4 inputs since this is the number of outputs your interface has, and names them accordingly?

@SLPGroundSoundMusic Might be better if you take your personal Apple/ Zenbeats refund problems and use private messaging to sort this mess out rather than splash it all over the media. One you could be opening yourself up to scamming to it’s not really what this thread is about. Just saying. Hope you get it sorted.👍
@Jumpercollins : Xact…😉
That’s good. Thanks for following up @DMfan
Appreciate the reports of your progress!
Sounds like great fun, and your experience just proves that Roland has hit a home run with the Zencore universe. I wish I had the space possibilities for a larger stationary setup but iPad, an audio interface and a controller will have to do until we kick the kids out the house😁.
At least I got myself a Gravity DJ desk for Xmas to put my little mobile Zenbeats setup on instead of the kitchen table, it has room for my LK 61 and Uno Synth Pro as well!

OK, so I've been able to send a guitar signal into AUM, Drambo and Cubasis, all discoverable on Channel 15 of my interface.
But in Zenbeats, I can't figure out how to route the signal. It seems to be recognizing that the interface is connected. The midi pads show up and are usable with the drum synth. When I unplug the interface from the lightning port, my available 18 input channels vanish and I have only one — the iPad microphone. But even that doesn't show up in the channel meter, which tells me I'm doing something stupid.
Maybe I should start there. How do you get sound in an audio track via the built-in microphone?
Open the template "record audio", it should create an audio track ready to record
But also check in Settings the "Audio" section to see if everything is ok
After all that, the microphone permissions were turned off. Why? Who knows.
@CapnWillie , @MatthewAtZenbeats from my
mouth to Roland’s ears I wish we iOS/iPad people who don’t actually own a Mac or PC could be all in on Zenology Pro. Perhaps it will be possible on iPad at some point in the future .
Yeah, I would strongly consider purchasing that .. Thanks for all your insights into the system. Haven’t t gotten the MV1 but I’m very close to pulling that trigger .
Is there a way of getting Zenbeats to play the various patterns available in the browser in the correct tempo as indicated on each entry, instead of having to stop playback and adjusting the tempo manually? Having to stop and start all the time makes auditioning patterns a cumbersome task!
I’ve put together a 2 bar beat with 6 audio tracks. The hi-hat track is going through Dub Station, and I have used automation to vary the feedback in the second bar. The problem comes when I duplicate bars 1 and 2. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste the automation. Any ideas, anyone?

Hey Captain, you seem pretty versed with Zenbeats. Maybe you can point out what I overlooked. I was checking it out last week, made the IAP for unlocking AUs, and ultimately bowed out once I discovered that Zenbeats won’t record the MIDI from external AUs, ie Geoshred, Chord pads.
Perhaps I lack creativity, but as far as I can tell the only in app midi controllers I see are the keyboard with optional arp and a drum pad. Thanks 🙏🏻
Use a Geoshred Au + a Geoshred au midi fx. Use the au to pick your instrument and the au midi fx to play the instrument. In the midi options on the track choose “print midi fx”
Now when u press record and play the midi AU fx interface of Geoshred it will record.
To be clear, ZenBeats afaik will only record au midi fx not au instruments surface/interface playing.
The latest ZenBeats update makes this easier to do, but I think Cubasis is better with this since just opening the au instrument will let u record directly to the timeline. ZenBeats is making important strides forward. Hopefully this will be another one in the near future.
So @CapnWillie you’re keeping the verselab?
