I was just jumping between the two using app switching (no audiobus).
Programming all the drums in patterning and then using samplr as per usual. The great thing about the clock being so tight (samplr isn't doing the usual drifting tempo thing that happens when midi slaved to other apps) is that I can record patterns easily using samplr's sequencers.
I don't really like doing drums in samplr, so it's a big deal that patterning syncs so well.
I would get audiobus remote, but I don't want to upgrade my 4s to ios 8. I'm waiting for the new iPad update later next month, I might get a new iPad or try and pick up an iPad Air cheap in the big annual sell off upgrade.

Here's a quick clip
@MirEko Thanks! Still don't fully understand what you're doing, but that's because of my own considerable ignorance....
I'm happy to read this about sync.
I couldn't figure out how to get Oscilab and Patterning to sync. I set Oscilab to send midi to Patterning and have Patterning receive midi sync from Oscilab but when I exit the setup menu from Oscilab I locks up. It unlocks once I disable midi sync out.
It's a bug with Oscilab that the dev knows about. If you set it to send midi clock out it kills the play button.
You would need to do it the other way round. Make Patterning the master and slave Osilab to it.
it is possible that this only happens when recording in cubasis... But i am not 100% sure of that. It may happen outside of it but i will keep plunking and let you know.
I could wade through these 14 pages, but am at work and hoping that this hasn't been addressed yet:
When you import a sample into Patterning, is there a way to automate sample start (a la Nanoloop)? I'd love to be able to load a vocal sample and simply drag my finger around the circle to change trigger start point for each beat. Would really open up some cool possibilities.
If not included already, I would like to officially submit this as a request to @benkamen.
Also would like to submit my deepest and most sincere thanks and gasps of wonder. Patterning is truly an accomplishment, making all the ONC apps instabuys for me.
Thanks again, dev.
Don't think so.
But you could do that Gadget's Bilbao.
@AudioGus I recorded into Cubasis early with no issues.
this happens when i switch between kits very quickly. I tend to hit them like drum pads because i like the effect. In fact i would love a list view of drum kits so more could fit on screen.
Oh and at 160bpm. Guess who likes aphex twin? 8)
@benkamen
Alrighty, so it looks like madly flipping through kits at 160bpm seems safe if i stick with the same row of eight kits i made which have gradual permutations in parameters. Once i go off the range though and start floating through the kingdom of preset kits i got a crash. (This was not while recording in cubasis but as standalone.) This is a pretty hard core stress test though and i am madly impressed it can even go for as long as it does. 8)
just thinking, maybe there could be a 'kit pad' mode where a few kits could be preloaded for super quick triggering... I so love how banging on different kits sounds... What a lovely day.
Cool! Thanks will try that.
So after about ten minutes of 160bpm drum kit flipping running only Patterning I did get the audio die on one side. It was a glorious ten minutes though.
I'm still just scratching my head in amazement!
Gonna take a while to master this wild mustang!
M4Christ, Let the Oscilab clock controlled by PN, PN 'clock send' to other apps is a smooth way to go, Oscilab then running synth app, Cool and easy to play.
Does this app have side chain compression / ability to load 24 bit samples / time stretch / eq ?
Thanks in advance
>
Side chain - no
24 bit - yes
time stretch - no
eq - yes, but just on master (but there is unique filter per voice).
My take is that it's not super deep on the sound side of things (sample editing, fx, some of the things you mentioned). But it's true to its name on the pattern side of the equation. Great on polyrhythms. Nice GUI. It's got a nice niche, whether or not it can be someone's workhorse drum and short phrase player/sampler.
no, but the dev is very receptive to good ideas you should talk to him cause those are necessary additions for some folks
Am I right that it doesn't have a compressor effect? Also if someone could post a link to a good acoustic drums example, that would be much appreciated - thanks!
Got it now and it's indeed a really great app.Probably the drum app with the most fun factor.Unfortunately my first 15-20 minutes with Auria and Patterning are quite disappointing.The IAA sync is unusable and external midi sync works"more or less".Sometimes shaky,often changing the tempo from alone and IF it syncs it gets quickly out of sync when i'm doing some edits or even just switch the pages in Patterning (mixer,FX etc...).I did not try it with cubasis yet,hope for better results.But i did not regret the purchase,sooner or later it will work.It just makes me a little sad cause i needed a new bassdrum for a track in auria and that was the reason why i pulled the trigger now
I had luck yesterday and snagged a promo of Elastic Drums (thanks to the iOS MARS guys on Facebook) but Patterning is the clear winner.It just makes more fun and Elastic Drums has some crispy drums but it's too"nasty electronic"for my taste.But it has also some great features and i just have to build a lot of own sounds.Oh,but Elastic drums syncs ok to Auria (not perfect but pretty good out of the box).
btw,i had nothing else runnng in the background.Only Patterning and Auria (while Auria was running on 30-40% cpu).And i had to start Patterning before Auria,just like with cubasis.IPad Air 2, iOS 8.3
But again,amazing app and it"clicked"with me in the first 1-2 minutes :)I guess i'll delete most if not all other of my drum apps except Pattering and ED. I'll try other options later,maybe i can get it to work in Auria via Audiobus.
Just tried syncing with Patterning and Auria and I can't get it to work neither. IAA is not great and in Audiobus it's really bad. Tried Auria with DrumPerfect in IAA to compare and it's spot on, so whatever is happening isn't just the fault of Auria.
But Patterning works great with Loopy in Audiobus!
@Fitz does Auria do MIDI clock or just IAA clock? Patterning doesn't do IAA clock at the moment.
When connected to DrumPerfect I didn't need to do anything, no midi or sync, so I'm guessing Auria connects using IAA clock. DrumPerfect has a button that you press when you want it to sync with an external source, and you don't need to press that or anything. It seems that IAA clock is pretty good if so. Will be good if and when when Patterning gets it. Using clock sync sent by Auria there is a random 1 bpm drift, although this doesn't happen when synced to Loopy
Does it?
nope yet
Most presets are electronic drumkits,but you can also import your own samples (audioshare also supported) and you can use it as a controller with other apps.

No on-screen tap (given the design and general ethos, I doubt you'll see it added), but you can trigger with MIDI controller. You can select input channel and note for each of the eight voices.

No compressor.
