Apologies if this has been answered in the thread, but are there plans to allow AUVs as insert effects?
Ohh.. was not even thinking about Stockholm and midi…. Hopefully Jim will implement midi import in the near future…
That’s the one thing I have been trying to figure out with drums : retriggering
if you mean conditional triggers – yes, they are there, combined with note probability (% sign in the top right corner of the clip editor view).
The developer hasn't indicated any plans to do that.
Or you could just check the App Store version history and find out without having to wait for answers, and to without having to clarify what you mean by P-Locks each time. 😉
The answer is "no".
tbh, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Wondering if anyone can help me make sense of Drum rack playing with external midi keyboard and midi mapping to the 16 pads.
The 16 pads on GR2 Drum racks can be triggered by an external midi controller BUT the pads 1-16 are NOT triggered by a series of keys from a starting note, instead they seem to be mapped to a general midi standard.
So,
C1 = PAD1
C#1= PAD4
D1 = PAD2
D#1= PAD3
E1= PAD2
F1 = PAD9
F#1 = PAD5
G1 = PAD10
G#1= PAD6
A1 = PAD11
A#1 = PAD7
B1 = PAD12
This means that for me to play sounds in any kit I have to remember that C#1 triggers Pad4 whilst D1 and E1 trigger Pad2 etc.
Maybe I am missing something, but why would it work like this? Why not just in a series to match the pad layout?
Is there some way to redefine the notes that trigger pads?
I guess it wouldn't matter if I could midi learn the 16 pads in GR2 but that doesn't seem possible. In Trigger pad mode the pads do get triggered in series (eg: from C1 and then again from C3) but that just changes the part and triggers a note. (I'd rather it just select the part) In the rest of the pad modes incoming midi does nothing to trigger GR2 pads from what I can tell.
It’s because it is following general midi on the note side of things as you seemed to indicate
So when you are in drum mode, it triggers the midi of the corresponding drum kit piece
When you are in note or key mode, it will trigger the midi note, and the kit pieces are mapped to GM
AFAIK there i no way to redefine the notes that trigger pads
That’s kind of why I dont mind the LPP - it really opens up GR2 in an amazing way
Idk if that helps at all *(but GR2 rules)
@yellow_eyez Thanks for the response. So yeah it works fine for external midi trigger of drum racks .... IF you have a LP Pro MK3 but pretty hopeless if you don't. I'm a big fan of GR2 but not this aspect.
Why limit playability to just LP Pro users?
Simple fix is to make the 16 GR2 pads midi learn-able so those mixed mapping always trigger what the on screen pads display. Then everyone can say GR2 rules! :-)
Contact him. 😉
@wim I did :-)
And it's not done yet??!?
Sheesh. 😎
I've gotten so used to GM Drum maps, I almost don't even think about it any more.
Another update may be time to grab a Launchpad X.
I love my Launchpad Pro MK3 with GR2, and I’m glad to see he’s added support for the older Launchpad models.
If you’re a Drambo user, you’ll definitely want to grab a Launchpad with the bi-directional MIDI feedback and all of the mapping features that are in the current beta. Really been a super fun experience!
Same
I hope that Launchpad Mini MkIII support is on the list. It shouldn’t be that complicated to implement as both the functionality and the MIDI protocol are pretty similar. Apart from the size the main difference seems to be that the X has pressure sensitive pads.

LPP might be the most incredible midi controller for iOS ? And GR2 the most incredible …. Mini DAW, as its grown out of just a groove box at this point, for iOS?
i still prefer to think it's a groovebox since one can't have some 48 plugins per track and some 120 tracks per project, as it must be in modern DAW-based production paradigm.
I get you, and That’s why I said mini daw or daw lite in the past (meaning like a daw lite it has limits in terms of track count etc) , it’s a bit more than just a groovebox but it’s not a full (“proper”) daw…but because the manual has DAW in it the idea of the term stuck with me on top of the feature set
Who cares what its called or what its label is, anyway? As long as your riding grooves and makin tunes
@catherder one of the things I love about the launchpad mini is that you can configure it to send key strokes and because the key commands in GR2 are quite extensive you can set up the launchpad mini to do so much with just key strokes. I’ve been using it for key commands only, leaving free the midi in slot to use it with my mid fighter twister.
Full integration would be nice of course.
If GR2 is just a groovebox, it's like a tricked out MPC One+ on 'roids moreso than an SP-404. Regardless of labels, GR2 is pretty damn amazing. 🤩

Grooveboxes can't do linear "track" at all. Usually pattern chainning at best. When GR2 offer the choice to do linear tracks, it is a groovebox AND a mini DAW as @yellow_eyez said.
Nice! Launchpad Mini support is here! I'm seeking a 2nd hand one at half price
+1 , appreciate the feedback and agreed
Not to mention the synced samples to the timeline/clip
You would use 2 at the same time ? Idk what a mini size I like compared to LPp, hell I didn’t know what a LPP was until last week lol
I think it is just the LP Pro and LP X at the moment unless there is some version that you have access to that I dont
Where do you live, I have one (mini III) but I'm in Sweden so if you're on the other side of the planet it's no idea to send it.
Really don’t like it when Devs do this - First discount offered is lower than the intro price paid. Leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.
Similar with Poison and Acid. Finally discounts them but for less than the last 10 times they’ve been discounted. No real improvements to either for years, just a basic recent integration with GRII. Feels pretty greedy to me. Was going to pick up both but I won’t be bothering now, on principle. Doubt I’ll buy anything from this Dev again either. That’s just me. YMMV.
I never did understand why that bothers some people.
