Agreed.
Has anyone found a way to print or capture the MIDI output of the arpeggiator to a clip or the song timeline?
Same here! And, though I may not make much use of the arpeggiator, I definitely want to make use of the groove settings. Afterall, Minimal Techno is pretty much all about groove from how I understand it.
Cool. One could add that the number of repeats can be adjusted per clip (tap and scroll up/down).
GR2 supports Launchpad pro mk3 (in case anyone is interested). I have a question. Is it possible to transfer the recording from Song mode to clips? I couldn't do it. And is the individual length of the clip regulated, or only the total duration of the recording?
SFM touched on the Arp in his Clips Video.. Pretty sweet..
Finally setup my GR2 companion!!
I have created a Scaler in Mozaic that can be run as multiple synchronised instances. Works great in GR 2. Chuck one instance into each melodic part and have one part without synth to sequence the key changes.

Kind of a pain to do, but Drambo to the rescue as usual. Well really any MIDI sequencer that can record midi will do. Add Drambo MIDI Fx as a layer after your instrument which you are arpeggiating in GR-2. Arm Drambo to record it at playback. Drambo will record the notes being played by the arpeggiator. Once you have the sequence recorded in Drambo, move the Drambo layer to the left of your instrument, clear any midi in the clip and disable the arpeggiator in the part. Now you can print Drambo’s output to the clip.
It would be a nice feature to have out of the box though.
The fully integrated session mode like in GR-16 or just midi mapping? I don’t have session mode and can only map knobs. I haven’t been able to map clips.
That's what Jim told me. I have a Launchpad mini mk3 and it doesn't launch clips. From the LP pro mk3 developer. And as I understand it, it should work. Do you have a Launchpad pro mk3?
Yes it’s a Launchpad Pro. Works perfectly with GR-16. No luck with GR-2.
Interesting. I'll ask Jim again about integration with Launchpad pro.
👏
Thank you! I captured the arpeggio with Helium loaded after the instrument, then moved it left of the instrument, and was able to print new clips from the rendered arpeggio. That makes it possible to edit and automate the arpeggios.
Asked. Launchpad support is planned in the future. That's why we're waiting.
As well as being technical settings, the various parameters in each Warp Mode (Beat Slice, Texture) can be quite creative too. Putting decay down on a beat sliced loop can leave just the transients that feed well into the IFX. Grain and Flux in Texture mode can lead to some very different sounds to the source material.
I've held off buying this mainly due to price (not suggesting it's not worth it but it would have been purchased as a bit of fun and a "suck and see"). Also clip based song construction just doesn't gel with me. With that in mind can I ask a dumb question about the more trad DAW/timeline option in GR2? Does it work in the same way that the Cubasis/Logic timeline does (sans audio tracks)? Each tutorial I have seen that shows the timeline seems to have the same clip/region/parts repeated on it's track, rather than having multiple unique clips/regions/parts.
TIA!
Is there any kind of a manual slice mode? Where each slice can be set independently? How many slices max?
16 max, you get control of the pitch, start and end setting for each slice
Can also autoslice based on either 16 division length or transients…
It’s no Flexi Sampler but it gets the job done
I've had a go with GR-II today, and yes you can create new clips in Song Mode, duplicate clips, copy/paste, etc on the timeline. Like in Nanostudio 2, CB3, Logic, etc.
Doug’s intro video at 20:40 shows recording MIDI directly to the timeline in Song mode.
Thanks @jwmmakerofmusic and @GRiker. Will properly watch Doug's video (skimmed it previously). I just need to be able to have multiple parts per track as per usual DAW setup. Lots of other things to like about GR2 from what I've read and seen.
One other question. I watched Doug's video on automation. Can 3rd party auv3's be automated as well as internal synths/effects etc?
Hey @GRiker I just re-watched Doug's intro video and I see the same thing in his demo song where every region/part in a track is copy. I saw the ability to record into a track but I was hoping he'd then record another part into the same track after the original part. I still haven't seen an instance of a track with multiple unique parts. It'd be pretty unusable for my own use if that wasn't possible.
I'll test that once back home (unless someone tests it first). At a hockey game. 😃
I just tried positioning the cursor to different spots along the time. You can punch in anywhere and create a new clip. You can also split an existing clip and relocate individual clips. You can have multiple, unique clips along a song timeline.
You can also copy content from a clip in the song timeline and paste it into a new clip in the Clips view. So you could capture an extended performance, then go back and extract loopworthy clips for reuse.
You can record consecutive different parts to a track in Song mode. Place the white cursor where you want to start and hit record/play. You don’t have to go into “clip” mode. Double tap the clip in the timeline to edit.
Don’t forget Doug and Leo haven’t reached “deep dive” status yet. I’m sure they’re working on it. There’s a lot to cover!
Thanks so much for confirming this. Really appreciate it. Also thanks to @jwmmakerofmusic and @anickt !
This app is Peter Parker, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, etc. and still walking around in street clothes.
Hang on!
Is there a way to do probability per step?
@drewinnit thanks! That’s what I needed to know.
Yes. For individual notes, not exactly for the whole chord on a step. Some folks described a workaround to that a few pages ago.
