Zenbeats Version 3

dermichl

As @MatthewAtZenbeats suggested to also post non iPadOS related issues here:

Zenbeat 3.1.8.9399 on Win 11 Pro 23H2: double tapping on any clip in Clip View does not open the respective editor (as it does on my iPad) - in Timeline View I need to use the grid symbol to open the editor. Seems like a bug to me. At least it‘s super annoying…

update
It seems like Zenbeats does not detect a double click when there is no Surface cover or mouse attached. Double clicking on the touchscreen that is.
As soon as I attach any mouse device everything works as expected.

Thank for all the good advice.
I was able to solve the problem… It was the magnet on my Folio case. When closing it with ZB still running, the sound cuts out after a few moments (even with system audio muted and Lock Screen disabled). When I’d open it up again, ZB would freak with the audio issue. I think the intermittent issue was also caused by the folio case opened and flipped back, must have triggered it accidentally.
Tested this with Apple Music and it does not cut out. Drambo will cut out but generally resumes just fine.

Ditched the case for now, but I do like having a Folio style for on the go.

FYI: Background audio is enabled and Siri is always disabled

Is it possible to import/export clips to and from Roland hardware, I have the mc101 and Verselab. I can exchange between them, would love to exchange clips with zenbeats.

Is there any way to add tags to user imported samples in order to make use of the tagging system within Zenbeats‘ file browser?

And not for nothin but with CB3 crushing the competition, can we expect a nice update soon hopefully? I still love your MIDI learn and your circular loop recording ; best creative workflow style (vs just linear). Merry Christmas.

Update2
Either user or Windows issue…
Double clicking now works as expected.

This is the tricky part of developing a software that is to work the same on different platforms.

Zenbeats is very much alive and kicking! I am really looking forward to 2025, and my guess is that Roland and @MatthewAtZenbeats has something nice on the stove cooking for us😎.

Thanks for the request here. I'm assuming you are referring to MIDI Clips?

Not currently, but I think this is something that is well worth exploring.

Thanks for the kind words and yes, we are working on the next patch release now as well as other improvements.

Stay tuned!

It’s an iPad 10, and the folio case is a cheap Best Buy Essentials: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6547456.p?skuId=6547456&sb_share_source=PDP
