  • Line of 16th note closed hi hats, select those, can adjust volume of all relative to each other but can you draw in volumes so you don’t have to adjust them individually?

    While a pattern is playing go to the pattern selector load another pattern and tap mix a > b.

    Brilliant, thank you!

  • this good but it's less straight forward than the previous version, and requires too much clicking around - could definitely be more streamlined especially for using live. The way the steps sequencing works is not intuitive and and it's disabled most of the time, should be able to just go into the currently selected clip for the part or make a new clip for that part and let you sequence directly; clip and song mode will be better if they can work at the same time without stopping the sequencer; auv3 effects loading on parts will be more practical most of the time than layering 3 sound sources per part; reverb is only available on sends; pure acid drums can't record from the instrument pads( not a big deal but will be nice as an option); hope this becomes also an AUV3 that you can load in another AUV3 host; will be nice if some of the sequencing or pattern generating options of Pure acid get added to the part menu; Poison is better added as an AUV3 than how it's integrated. Hopefully Jim updates, refines and expands this further

  • Is anyone experiencing UI glitches? I’ve tried different FPS settings but it doesn’t make any difference. I’m on an M1 iPad.

  • Anyone tried a midi controller with GR2 yet ? thinking Novation Launchpad. How was the experience?

    On a M1 Pro also no problems, how big are your samples being triggered?

  • I really like it, very inspiring environment! And it runs much smoother than I expected on my iPad 8, thanks Jim!

    I’m just playing the included Parallax project.

    So I just saw that it only glitches when the iPad is attached to Apple iPad Magic keyboard. When I detach it the glitches stop. Weird. I’m on iOS 18.1.1. I’m gonna upgrade to 18.3 and see if it fixes it.

    It looks like it is available as an automation parameter on a per layer level - although I had to record in some automation on one of the knobs to get the automation to show up in the clip editor. I just twisted the Layer Mix knob (below the LFO Edit) on the Rim piece (Layer 4) in Part 1 and then it showed that automation which can then be drawn in. If someone knows of a way of instantiating the automation without having to record in a touchscreen motion first, please point that out.

    **Edit: After some further thought - this is not really true velocity automation, but it does let you automate the velocity level relative to whatever is set in the notes themselves, so you could set all notes to velocity 127 and then use this to automate the level wherever you want from 0-127. There may be a more direct way to control the velocity, but this is still a nice option to control the levels per part in some way.

    On a separate note, not an automation, but you can also use Shift to select multiple notes in the piano roll editor and manually adjust the velocity on any selection of steps at once.

    Same in iOS 18.3. Seems like a bug.

    Interesting - I remember a problem with the AUv3 version of iBassist and the timing going out of sync but only with the magic keyboard connected - still not sure if that is resolved. It's an odd coincidence that there's at least two instances where the magic keyboard caused an issue with playback.

    **Edit: Corrected misspelling

  • Is there a user discord ir something? I got a bug to report (freeze on sample folder load since you asks)

  • edited February 1

    Anyone figured out how to ‘Latch’ the Shift Button? In GR16, it could be done by swiping up…

    Thanks..

    Edit.. it’s begging for MiDi import..

    It’s Brilliant..

    I asked ChatGPT what the problem might be and how to fix it. I tried everything it recommended with no luck. The only thing left is:

    App-Specific Optimization Issues
    • Some apps may not be fully optimized for keyboard attachments and may have rendering glitches.

    I’ll report it to Jim.

    😂 Well, I did cancel my preorder a few days ago due to needing to allocate money towards bills (gas, groceries, etc). However, from what I've read, too many bugs for me to consider purchasing it at this time. I'll consider purchasing once GR-II is more stable. (Then again, Cubasis 3 was also super unstable upon its initial release, and I inevitably purchased that, so it's not a "no" from me. It's more of a "wait and see" situation.) GR-II does look fun however.

    This was such a pleasure cruise for a first play around. I concluded the night by saving project again, quitting the app, and was pleased that when i reopened my project, AU instruments reloaded and were properly state saved. This is my first Jim Audio app. The UX is so fluid. The small details. Don’t know why i waited this long. Better late than never. Congratulations!

    What happens with the demo projects if you don’t have pure acid and poison?

  • @geremy said:
    Wow, hats of Jim.

    My only wish is to AUv3 on the insert effects, mostly because I like to put Saturn on everything individually haha

    Me too. After about 10 mins of playing this thing is incredible - super fast, really initiative workflow. Auv3 instead effects would make it perfect…

    Consistent crash:
    I open new project
    Change part 1 from Melodic to Drum Rack
    Hit oscillator edit
    Load sample and hit one of these highlighted menu entries - instant crash
    ![]

    Is there another way to get my drum samples into this? Or surely it comes with some already?

    Jim responded to my report - this is known to occur on low versions of ios 16.

    Anyone on ios 16 should expect to upgrade if they want to use GR2

    Update via Jim:
    „ Just found out how to fix it for iOS 16, so if you don't want to update you'll have to wait for GR-2 update with a fix
    Thanks for the bug report!“

    This is pretty cool, letting those of on16 stay where we are at

    Just submitted a bug report.

  • Can GR2 be an IAA client or only an IAA host?

  • How do I load AUs? Synths and FX?

    Thanks. Automation is counter intuitive, why no ‘New’ automation option? All I want to do is change the volume of multiple notes so they’re not the same.

    Had more luck using the LFO on Amp. Not normal but perhaps that’s the way the Dev wants you to do it? Quite frustrating for such a basic and obvious requirement.

    Edit: No levels indicated on automation either so it’s all a bit hit and miss. No idea where 0db is and impossible to just draw and adjust one automation point, you get multiple whether you want them or not. This aspect is quite annoying to use so far.

    Yes. Just tried it in AUM. It works as IAA client. But it can’t host IAA.

    There’s an offer of a 5 Day Trial for both if you press and hold where it says Demo Mode. I’m hoping @jimpavloff offers a bundle or a discount, like he did just before Christmas. I’ve never felt inclined to get either but would consider if discounted or bundled just to complete GRII, having shelled out quite a bit for it.
