Yeah that's not easy. Guess it was initially a rhythmic sequencer. We'll see what will be added. Just realised another way to clear: hold down the letter representing the pattern you're on (upper left corner), I thought it would only erase the pattern but it did a clean house including instruments/sounds for that pattern. Makes you wish for an undo
Hello. Japanese people like iOS the most in the world, but there are few people who make music, and I was hungry for information. Your discussion is always helpful and educational for me. I also learned that Waldorf ATTACK was having trouble syncing and was able to get out of the darkness of my worries. I also found out about the existence of a new app. LoopyPro, dRambo, and Strokes! I like the balance between cosmos and chaos. I learn. thank you!
Sometimes you see new discussions come by but never click on them of one reason or another, kind of happened to me with Strokes. Late to the party, but this looks mighty interesting!
I did another demo and though it was good enough for it's own presentation, using just one copy of strokes and some plug-ins.

Will I be able to get my head around Strokes if I don't understand CC?
Nice, like it! I bought the IOS and MacOS versions of Strokes and though it has some learning curve, you can achieve wonderful result. Like you did.
You don't have to understand CC who does? 🤪 But, if you wanna change pattern with a keyboard or midi it can be good to know which one does what. Now, I used what I thought was right but it wasn't easy so I just wrote to Mr.Strokes and got an immediate reply. These keys controls the pattern and notes slots:
Patterns are on BLACK keys :
C#-1 = Pattern A
D#-1 = Pattern B
....
A#-1 = Pattern E
Note selects on WHITE keys:
C-1 = Note Select 1
B-1 = Note Select 7
Ha! That's a good answer, thanks @Pxlhg
Upfront apologies. This doesn't show you how to use Strokes, because I can't really do that. But just enjoy the music that has been created
Sounding great! It’s cool to see Strokes picking up some momentum. I’m still wrapping my head around it but it’s the app I’ve spent the most time with here lately.
Waldorf Attack was (is?) such an amazing application. Such deep and expansive possibilities. Sooo hard to use on iOS these days…
Can someone that owns stokes tell me how much, if any of the parameters are exposed as AU parameters in AUM for midi/controller mapping?
Thanks!
Absolutely loads is the honest answer. Too many to list here, but see this screenshot as an example.
There are a few hundred exposed parameters. Pretty much everything is exposed.
Cool! 🎹
Thanks!
I just tried sequencing FAC Drumkit with Strokes; maybe I've missed something, but I don't see a way to send velocity levels from the individual sequencers. And obviously modulating the accent track affects all voices. Then trying to map the sequencers to Drumkit was.... strange. All pitch modulation was off, but the notes on seqs 1 to 4 didn't match with the 12 notes for FAC's 12 voices. And I couldn't get seqs 5- to 8 mapped to any voice in FAC although notes on those seqs were firing and, again all pitch/note modulation was off.
I've been getting some sweet results standalone with the sampler and Braids oscs (needs individual outs), but I've just spent a frustrating hour tying to get it to work as a midi sequencer for a drum synth. Would be a great if Strokes could send velocity levels per sequencer and get the modulation matrix + weights to modulate Drumkits amp and pitch envelopes.
Anyone had better luck using Strokes as a midi sequencer for a drum machine?
Hi, yes the accent track does affect all voices but you can map any Strokes CC to each Voice Level in FAC Drumkit, so you can take an 'accent' from Weights column A,B,C,D or Matrix Seq 1-8 to spice up any available parameter in Drumkit. I didn't have a problem with mapping the default Strokes track notes C1,C1# 36-37 etc they just mapped directly to pad 1-8.
As for pitch, well I'm totally impressed that the midi out of each track from Strokes is matched to the quantised note - not just the trigger note - but this doesn't seem useful for a drumkit trigger**, so you can again point any CC to Pitch Ratio(?) in FAC perhaps that will help.
Strokes is wild, I love it.
** Oh my it can be useful - I've modulated the Strokes voice pitch, got it quantised to three notes, giving me rolling cowbells, handclaps and a triangle and I can still modulate their pitch!! Love it!
Hi and thanks! The problem is amp/level mod in Drumkit only responds to velocity, not a cc. Same goes for many (I reckon almost all) hardware drum machines. Having to put a midi processor in the chain to convert a cc# to velocity would be a pain.
Mmm have a look again at mapping the Voice Level parameter for each voice in Fac - I’m modulating it now for accents using a weights CC 😬
Oh I didn’t mention I’m doing this in AUM, mapping Strokes CC to exposed FAC parameters - sorry if I wasn’t clear I was excited and it was very late!
Of course!!! I completely forgot about trying to use AUM parameter mapping - I'm used to using Octrachron (setting ccs etc in the app) in AUM and have mostly being hosting AU3s in Drambo of late. OTOH, this isn't a solution for sending velocity levels per sequencer to hardware, In an update, a neat solution could be to have a second page of the Voice Modulation section for midi modulation, obviously with velocity, but also for multiple ccs per sequencer, matrix and weights, instead of just one as is the case now.

I hope Waldorf will return to the iOS market eventually. Nave is still one of my favorite synths and I’ve held on an Attack due to fears of it being abandoned despite really wanting to try it.
Latest iOS beta now has multi bus outputs in the Audio Unit....👍

One thing that I would like to see in strokes is the ability to add a stroke without getting all the strokes from the euclidean mode erased. Now when you add a stroke manually it erases all the euclidean strokes, it goes to step mode but you get a blank channel having to add all the strokes manually. If you are playing live it is kind of a hassle
That’s a neat idea - perhaps by a long press on Step button to copy the current Euc track.
Or when you add a stroke manually it goes straight top step mode with all the strokes intact plus the one you added. That way it affects the Matrix too because it adds one more step to it and on that step in the matrix you can set a sudden change of pitch or delay. I was thinking about that. STROKES IS AMAZING!!!!
Undo/Redo button too please
