Thanks for asking. Both, preferably. Like a hardware drum machine. Follow first, if I had to choose.
@Diode108 want it even more now after watching Mr. Doug's video—as it often the case with The Sound Test Room. Love lots of things about it like the song mode and the mixer page. Rearranging the sounds on the grid? Brilliant. Plus, it looks like you've snuck in a 16 track 16-step sequencer in there with the melodic mode (of course now I want MIDI note output too, greedy bastard). And oh, damn, that swing is what I'm talking about. Delicious.
It's just that way I use drum machines, no sync means it wont work for me.
not greedy in the least, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a complete drum machine. Appreciate all of your suggestions.
Me too. I've already got hundreds of drum machines but this one is definitely loosening the hold I have on my wallet...
Yeah, I was wondering if someone would want MIDI note out. Note Mode was meant to provide exquisite control over pitched drums (like toms, congas, and bass drum), but it was just so fun on claves and cymbals that we started throwing in some other instruments and things got a bit out of hand. :-) And now we have this fun melody maker workflow. But there are no note lengths, so I don't see Note Mode as a piano roll.
Folks, 1.0.2 is live in the app store.
Whew!
Hopefully this fixes the people who can't launch. If you still can't launch after installing, please contact us through our support page so we can learn more.
thks so much ! By far the most exciting drum machine app!
I would like to be able to skip through the different kits by tapping up/down buttons preferably on all pages. Tapping on the drum kit name should let me browse kits directly too and selecting/tapping a kit should load it right away as well. This would make looking for the right kit much quicker than the way it is now. Maybe a tap and hold could be used for saving new kits.
Always a good notion.
Thanks. Good ideas.
What's New in Version 1.0.2
Fixes Dropbox connection issue.
Necessary folders automatically created when user firsts links app to Dropbox.
Corrects placement of Disco patterns file.
Fixed an issue that could cause app to fail to launch (iOS 7 only).
Improved crash analytics.
Launches again on ios 7. Will report back any issues. Thanks.
Great app !
+1. I want every music app on iOS to work this way. I still tap the preset name in iSEM as if it were going to suddenly wake up and do something useful.
Congrats on finding that ios7 bug and nice work getting a fix out so fast!
Regarding the seamless loops. This sounds cool to me, but I'm trying to understand how it works.
Assume we have one pattern and we want a seamless loop of it. That means that a hit with a long tail on step 16 will wrap around to the start. So how do you use this? With a non-seamless-loop single pattern intro? Fade in? Can't just start the seamless loop cold, right?
Thank you. It was a bit harrowing, but easy to fix once we reproduced it.
Yeah, I want this too.
Best implementations for this generally have these three options:
So 2 is what you want on export, right? And when using, you ramp it in, use it X times, then ramp it out. And it probably needs to be sample accurate to your bpm to be useful? Or you stretch in your DAW?
Depends on how I'm going to use them. Yes, sample accurate, please, for most any situation.
Those three options sort of became standard in pro apps because they map to how you'd wind up using it in a DAW context, or what you're calling ramping I think. Imagine I export my drum loop three times, once each with each one of the above options. In my DAW timeline, a 16 bar section would look something like:
[1:no tail, clean start] [2:looped tail](*14) [3:included tail]. Actually,[3]is a little trickier: you lay it on the timeline, split it at loop point, delete the main loop and bump the tail up next to[2]But @kobomato is the one that requested the feature and I dunno how he'd use it. Me, I want MIDI sync so I don't need to deal with this sort of stuff any more.
We could use three beta testers. We prefer people who have gained a bit of Diode-108 familiarity over the last week, and who have used AudioShare or AudioCopy in other apps. If you've ever been a beta tester before, or if you feel that you are willing to put in some time and give us useful feedback, that's a plus. We ask that you not publicly discuss any surprise features you see that are being worked on (because they aren't done!).
Email the support address at our website, telling us how much of the profile above you match. If you hit us too late, we might ask you to join later. We'll be looking for beta testers for other features soon.
Not to change the subject but I decided to Diode based on the comments here. A special shout out to the developer who has been an active participant in the thread.
Great! Thanks for buying our app! We've just started seeing reviews in the app store. Really appreciate those who have taken the time to rate (and especially review) us.
Same here. It's nice to know there's an active roadmap. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. (Hopefully there'll be midi file export, at some point).
Hi rocco. Would MIDI file export capture the work done in Note Mode, or simply triggers for 16 voices?
To be honest, I just downloaded the app and haven't had a chance to play with it, yet, so I'm not familiar with the different modes, but... I think it would be handy to be able to export any songs or patterns as midi files so they can be worked on in a DAW, iOS or desktop, with different instruments.
Same and same. Nice work Diode fam.
The note mode is the challenge—same problem MPCs and the like have. With something like Diode108, you might start with triggers only on CH10 (different note per track ala GM drums) and eventually add the ability to include any Note Mode tracks as separate midi channels to the file.
Yeah, that's solid thinking. I suspect that Diode users will use the Note mode more and more as they get settled into the app.
Purchased yesterday based on the active participation of the Dev and the positive direction of development. Diode has so far proven to be a really sweet sounding groove machine.
