    I’m considering buying Drambo but wondering how it’ll perform on older hardware, especially with ever more wavetable stuff being added (I have 7th gen iPad with A10 and 3GB of RAM). Is Drambo heavy on the resources? Anyone here using it on an iPad similar to mine?

    Should run just fine 👍

  • Amazing update! Congratulations @giku_beepstreet and thanks for all your hard work!

  • Holy balls, thanks!! No note number in sequencer in vertical view lol (iphone)

    The sequencer module’s rate knob is basically fugue machine in Drambo 😄

    Yes exactly this came in my mind when i tried it first time. Drambo makes obsolete SO MUCH apps that is is just incredible :)

  • So is the sequencer module a lot more useful than the timeline in Drambo? I haven’t had a chance to dive into the new update yet but I’m just curious what all it adds to the mix?

    The module uses the main sequencer aswell as the module.

    You wouldnt be able to program melodies yourself. Like the module.

    Doubt you would use module for every track.

    Added MIDI sequencer module…

    Anyone?

    The in-app help for the module describes it well - basically all of Drambo's sequencing capability in a module, with all kinds of useful playback controls. It looks like it's going to be insanely useful. 😎

    My brain is more than a little bit blown at the moment.

    Ok.. saw the help section on it.. Maybe a video on it will pop up soon.

    For a quick start:

    • The Sequencer module usually goes in front of the MIDI2CV module.

    • Tap on the sequence mini-view to edit that sequence on the step sequencer or in the piano roll.

    • If you have multiple Sequencer modules on the same track, mix their MIDI streams using MIDI Mixer or switch between them by means of the MIDI N-to-1 switch.

    • You can use notes for the usual musical purposes but you can also re-use its note grid as a rhythmic source of values for modulation (with pitch and velocity used separately if you like) for doing modulation patterns like in the Moogerfooger MuRF etc. - The MIDI N-to-1 switch will let you choose between different prepared patterns sent by different Sequencer modules on the same track and MIDI to CV will send the corresponding (polyphonic) values.

    • Notes mode is worth trying with MIDI in = Transpose and MIDI input connected to the track's MIDI.

    • Also try the Time input mode. Put a knob in front of it, set its range to Min=0 and Max=4 and connect the Sequencer's time input to the knob's output. You can now scrub on your sequence in both directions (Drambo will try its best to fix MIDI Note On and Note Off messages for you) 😊

    • Experienced Drambo users might use a Graphic Shaper, Graphic Modulator or CV Sequencer to implement "Groove Quantize" by modifying the Time signal...

    Wow!

  • Did we finally get MIDI export? 👁️👁️ Yessss, we did! 🤩

    Hmm that’s confusing to me. Seems like it’s redundant based on what you’re saying.

    Oh my ... how to describe it.
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "timeline" in Drambo. But it's not a replacement for that.

    Think of all the sequencer parts - the step sequencer, the piano roll, and the velocity, probability, cycle, and other step components of Drambo, parameter automation, etc. ... all rolled up into a module that you can place anywhere.

    Now visualize the ability to independently change the speed, the playback rate (including reverse), the starting offset, being able to trigger in various ways, to play back only when a note is held down, to transpose, etc.

    It's basically Drambo's sequencer on steroids and packaged up into a module that you can use as many of wherever you like. It could be something simple like tracking all drum parts separately in a single track, or more complicated uses such as making layered synths with each voice playing a different pattern.

    That's the best I can do. It's best to read the module help, then play around with it a bit.

    It does allow you to program anything really and I can see it being fantastic in use
    It can run along the main note sequencer or piano roll to “add notes or cv or anything” on top of what’s already playing, and the sequences you have in the module will run regardless of the current clip selected in the launcher
    So you might have a riff or a few notes always playing as you trigger different clips
    Or use a few sequencer modules in series and set them to mix mode with various play speed or directions (think fugue machine)
    All of that just using it simply as a melody sequencer, take the notes and use them for parameters and the possibilities are endless

  • This is how the new Drambo update changelog looks through my eyes:

  • Also consider having a synth with multiple voices where you can add notes to a single voice at times, paraphonic synthesis made easier
    What happens if used on a drum track! You can see it opens up a lot of options

    It's duplicative but not redundant in the sense of being superfluous and un-needed. It has many uses, and it also has some additional capabilities over the main sequencer.

    The beauty of a modular system though is if something is redundant for your needs you can just ignore it. 😉

  • „ Ableton Link: Drambo doesn't change link tempo after loading a new project“

    That was a big issue for me, thanks for fixing and what a great update!

    It's good for generative stuff .. you can modulate various things on played sequecne (speed, direction) using standard drambo mod sources (LFO, envelopes) which makes it pretty powerfull for generative/ambient/everchanging nonlinear sequences ..

    It's just another tool, it doesn't duplicate standard midi clips, it adds more ways how to tweak / change sequences in realtime ..

    Not just generative, it’s Fugue on steroids because you can graphically automate the timeline of the sequencer to do variable speed. I never bought Fugue because I had Atom for this kind of work. But I think that Fugue can't accelerate or decelerate the timeline. The Sequencer module will be of great help.

    @dendy, What’s your best new feature?

  • Brilliant update and very fairly priced new iap, thank you @giku_beepstreet.

    Minor ‘bug’/oversight, the new modules don’t seem to appear in the tagged categories section. This was, and still is, the case with Convolver as well after that was added. Not that big a deal but would really make a difference for those of us who prefer to access modules via the tagged section to have all modules present there.

  • Thanks @wim @dendy @hghon I see now. That makes me more excited to dive into the update. So ready for my day off tomorrow 🤩

    • Analog filter module: added a new filter model FDB LP12 - self modulating 2 pole LP filter (sounds really great)
    • Wavetables/Wave spline module added: draw or waveshape wavetable
    • Graphic envelope module: added bar sync option
    • Morph module: fixed issues with wrong color coding, added "Clear assigns" action.
    • Piano roll editor and multitrack step sequencer: fixed several minor issues (mostly reported by me so i am glad they are out of way)

    So in the sequencer module you can have different parameters per step as well?

  • The default Tune setting for the BBD Resonator, when linked to Key (Midi to CV), seems to give a result which is one semitone sharp. Is that as expected @giku_beepstreet?

    Anyone know what it needs to be set to to be in tune with notes on other tracks? Thanks.

  • BBD Resonator = Combustor?

    You may have p-locks and automation (not live recordable yet). So you may use it to play only p-locks or different automations.

    Use TRACK button. btw. I'm gonna check Tune knob modulation again.

  • Wow ! Brilliant update ! Although I had no time for testing, the IAP was an instabuy just to support the development of this superb app.
    I love that MIDI sequencer module - great for Berlin School.
    And it's great that the rack size can be slightly increased now.

    It seems to me that cycle settings / components aren’t working in the sequencer module. Can anyone else confirm?

    Doh, never saw the Track button. The result still seems to be one semitone lower than the equivalent note on other tracks though? I must still be missing something?

    Thanks, having the newer modules present in the tagged section will be a great help. Cheers.
