Strokes is definitely my favourite sequencer based workstation after a few hours play and watching @congburn utube features I’m hooked haven’t had this much fun on a iPad in ages. Just blown away.
I bought strokes and I am delighted 😃.
Can someone explain how I control the parameters? It is a bit confusing with the weights, matrix etc.
Some of the parameters don’t work in my case…
Still trying to parse it out myself, but the Dev has some pretty in depth videos on YouTube.

I'm relatively new to Euclidean rhythms & complex sequencing in general. I found this video of John the Dev walking through an earlier incarnation of Strokes made with Max4Live to be a helpful way to start.
Most of the info still tracks, despite a few of the M4L controls now being in a different place or removed altogether on iOS. Overall, I learned more about Strokes from this video than even reading the newest manual, as I needed a basic primer on certain general concepts before moving on to specifics.
Matrix and Weights are control signal generators. Matrix is a step-seq type display where individual strokes can be modulated like P-locks in Elektron gear. Weights acts like 4 banks (A-D) of envelope followers. The video explains the signal flow of these both of these controllers.
In a different thread, @dcollett graciously posted his paper on Euclidean & other rhythms. Also, very helpful.

Despite the long runtime, I recommend watching it through at least once. Then you can go back to specific areas as needed. The video is broken into coverage of the relevant parts of Strokes, so you can quickly revisit particular functions.
Found out today that the desktop version can be controlled by a monome grid, which has got me very curious about this app/software…
Whoa, the MI synth additions make this much more interesting… Been playing with Modal and some weird sequencing setups, but this may be a good one stop shop…
I second that. I spent hours with it today, unintentionally, and had some great and really surprising sounds coming out of it. Do I know what I'm doing? No! But, baby steps. As said earlier in this thread, the visual aid, bottom left, is really helpful. Filled up the memory slots (A-E) and jumped backed and forth to fine tune what I was doing, also very helpful.
Can the AUv3 version output it’s voices to individual outs in AUM? If I can get confirmation it can, I’m sold. Been watching videos… this app is basically what I’ve spent the last few years trying to get AUM or Drambo or reaper on pc to be…
The lack of multi-outs on iOS is keeping me from getting this. I have desktop already so multi-outs is what's needed to get me over the fence.
Thx… He seems pretty prolific… Do you know if it’s a request?
i bought this the other night on desktop (after two glasses of wine) not knowing what the hell it is or does lol. I just saw the latest update with the Mutable stuff and snagged it immediately. Time to dig in.
It does not have multi-out, but, as I say earlier you can use the A-E slots to save moments within the same preset. Add five copies in AUM, one for each saved slot. I have just started a project exactly so and it's pretty cool although it has nothing on multi-out. I will add some LFOs to get variation on the various matrixes which are a bit of a set-up to do but in my mind, going to be awesome! 🤪 Here's a short demo (4 strokes goes to BeatCutter which are not near to be filled up (yet) and ready).
could the voices have been triggering randomly or ratcheting or something? maybe not a delay?
I do find some issues with sound dying from certain channels and you have to dick about till they come back only to have them disappear again for no obvious reason. Very strange and definitely some irritating bug.
Not sure, haven't used it again but it seem to be most obvious with samples. I'll try (later) to recreate it.. to see.
EDIT:
@shinyisshiny It is when using samples, when you set the 'End' indicator to lower than 100 it start to do repeats. You can also use this to reverse the sample so maybe it's a side effect because of that.
Have u contacted the dev, mentioning device, operating system etc?
You know it's a bit overwhelming sorting out all the parameters just for one slot of sound, what happening and why hence It's hard to reproduce. Maybe I can do a recording because putting it to words are beyond me🤣 I wanna be sure it's not me, even if I'm fairly sure something is wrong. All is still very new.
Don't worry, you're not alone there lol. I still need to get round to watching these new vids and reading the manual, the app is definitely very far from intuitive, as powerful as it may be
It does move in a very interesting direction and paired with some of the late releases like GlitchScaper. Magic might happen🪄 😂
The Reverb and Delay function are the most peculiar ones I ever encountered. Extremely and probably unnecessary complicated as you have to find and dial in, in both the weights and the matrix .. if you find the right ones, after you have set a percentage on the synth in question. Global FX would have been to prefer I think as you can't fit all various noises to the HP filter on the reverb. Maybe (probably) I'm missing something essential.😬
Multi-bus output is coming according to John - hopefully in the next release, but there's no definite timescale.
Thanks for sharing
I made this after inputting notes into the sequencer and hoping for the best 😁😁
I routed everything to Strokes, and kept turning each channel off inside to isolate the sounds
There's still quite a bit for me to figure out
Including loading samples and lots of parameter changes
Agreed. It’s really an excellent app. I can see it joining the greats like Drambo, Gadget, SunVox, etc.
I bought this the moment i heard about the newest update. The Plaits engines PLUS this insane sequencer?! And it’s auv3?! First few explorations yielded fun results, but I had no idea what I was doing. The videos from the dev have been very helpful, I’ve needed to watch them several times to grok the details, the manual becomes more useful once I understand the concepts via the videos.
I can see this becoming a staple of my iOS tools, it’s a very fun and powerful playground to create unique sounds in that grey area between intention and randomness.
Agreed. It’s one of those apps that make me question if I even need hardware lol
I’ve just purchased the multi format bundle and it certainly is a little confusing at first, but has some excellent updates. I think once it clicks you just get it, very much like some hardware devices.
Yep reminds me of Elektron stuff in that regard. I’m excited to dive in more when I get a couple days off.
I've been having fun with this. Mean to buy the bundle, but haven't decided if I like the iPad version enough to spending $20 more on the desktop version. I haven't really been able to get it to do anything nice sounding, but that's mostly on me. I don't have much of a sample collection and haven't really gotten the hang of groovebox work flows.
Does anybody know if there's a way to hit one button to initialize the session in standalone mode?
I don't think there is one but first thing you can do after starting up is save (export) a file a name it init (or whatever you prefer). Other than that it's restarting the app. All this as far as I know.
Yeah, I’ll probably do that. Another thing I haven't figured out is if there is a way to play a sustained note. Like a tie step, I guess. I wanted to try using this for longer pads.
