it'll have to do for now, but it's going to be excruciatingly delicious when we can play a melodic passage using only one of the 8 sample slots.
Currently, you could midi out that one instrument into a synth, going 'midi thru' through Thumbjam and restrict notes to a scale.
Yeah thumbjam (once more)
nice one Mf thanks, and thank you too ecamburn.
Using Patterning app to create a jazzy snippet:
Very nice.
It doesn't show up as an instrument in cubasis here.
Could always throw the captured midi at stroke machine, but have you been able to use patterning as a sound module!?
MIDI out is good - but I can't find a way to feed it back in. Any advice on this?
There seems to be an issue with Patterning in IAA host apps. You might try opening Patterning first, then searching for it?
Very interesting. All Patterning?
@JohnnyGoodyear
Just the drums were done with Patterning. Also used: iGrand Piano; bass in Cubasis; sax from iM1. AudioBus into Cubasis.
Thanks for the info. It's a good piece, well controlled.
@bsantoro really nice piece!
I consciously avoid asking for features outside of the product design, but this is one I'd love to have too!
I've been a longtime fan of the Discipline-Thrak era King Crimson - and once I got how Patterning let's you play with polyrhythm I ended up using coarse pitch and mapping outs to guitar patches. Mind blowing! And in this very "not designed for" use, lock to scale would be awesome.
I will say though, thank you so much! I've never had so much fun with a drum machine! Patterning is a genre bending work of art!
I am standing, glass raised...
I just got Patterning synced with Cubase 8 on my laptop. Not sure if it matters yet, but it's nice to have a win. :-)
i hope to share your win with Samplitude on the PC. So far no luck.
If it helps, I was using Midimux. My iPad showed up in the sync settings in Cubase and I was able to select Patterning as a destination.

How do I rename a drum? Apparently, Patterning tries to guess the name based on the sample filename and it's quite smart. For example, TR808_Kick.aif becomes 'Kick' and TR808_Tom_High.aif - 'Tom'. But TR808_Rim.aif does not become 'Rim' and I can't find how to change the name after selecting the sample file
Also, if I delete one of the default drum kits, will I be able to download it again when needed?
I'll make renaming the drum possible in the future... As for reviving drum kits.. there's no way, but you can get someone else to export the kits as .onpd and share with you.
@benkamen,
Do you think that adding scales (just a few) makes sense? It would really help to make a sequence in tune when you use the automation recording in coarse pitch and drive a synth...as well as for drums in the kit?
Thanks
@bsantoro - that was a kick-ass demonstration of some very humanized sounding drumming! Thank you for sharing
I wish there was a confirmation dialog when deleting a pattern. Currently, it's so easy to lose your work by accidentally tapping Delete
Thanks, exporting kits to Dropbox works like a charm.
There's so many kits that I usually get lost among them. Just want to delete some of them but only if I can restore them when needed. So I tested the whole process of deleting and then restoring a drum kit and it seems to work very well. Thanks
+1 for more kit management..folders? I'd like to be able to separate the factory kits from my own ones for example.
I was playing with this patch in Lemur last night..lots of fun ( see pic )
quite similar to patterning. It would be great if in a future incarnation Patterning could have similar controls for sequencing synths...octave, note, length, along with its rotation options this would make a very cool step sequencer.
I'm loving freakin' LOVING patterning as it syncs almost perfectly to Loopy as a master.
I would have a couple of changes to suggest (of course) (In ascending order of difficulty to implement perhaps..)
In the, um, "bargraph" part of each drum, the volume slider above the mute/solo is a ribbon that jumps. What this means is that I try to hit "SOLO" and I end up going a bit too far up which just drops the volume level to zero even if I do manage to get the solo. Just change from a touch ribbon to a "slider" that can only be moved by grabbing the top of it.
Since I always use it with Audiobus, I wish the Mixer screen's Mute/Solo buttons were just a bit higher on the screen so I don't have to move the audiobus bar out of the way to get to the Mute buttons!
Pull up pen echo mode faster - Like a quick on/off button. Not a hold.
Slightly more involved:
Putting the #of steps on a drop down instead of stepping through them one at a time. Maybe even combine the note duration and step #s into a single drop down.
The ability to clear all parts at once without having to move to a new pattern and then go back and deleting the old pattern / start a new file.
Most involved:
Thanks for a great product Olympia Noise.
I was giving the MIDI Out functionality a go at lunchtime, and while I could make it work just fine with Funkbox and Animoog, I couldn't make it do anything with DrumPerfect, which is a shame. I may have overlooked something, though. Has anyone else made Patterning work with DrumPerfect, and if so, what settings did you use on both apps (MIDI channel, etc)? I want to play Patterning patterns with DrumPerfect's sounds.
Also, is there a quick way to clear all the samples in Patterning so that MIDI is the only game in town, or do I have to reduce the volume of the 8 samples for the loaded kit every time?
It would be great if the different layers could run at different intervals and directions so you could have a sample run 3 steps and the filter cutoff 7, would make for some really interesting automation possibilties buit als obe a great CC sequencer with external gear.
Also sample reverse would be great.
I created an 'init' patch with everything default (panned center, no fx, etc) and a custom drum kit loaded. I imagine you could do much the same with all 8 instruments faded to 0. Or just save a 'MIDI kit' with all the samples' levels at 0.
Double, sorry
