Yeah the random functions in ED are great.
Patterning only lists midi clock receive, there's no midi track input panel yet. I admit it would be a nice feature to have midi notes in though, hope it gets it in an update....Then you could also play notes on a keyboard or pads to get a sequence going and then mangle it up
That makes sense. Playing with SunVox I'm kinda cut off from other iOS apps without any sync options at the moment but ED does look a lot of fun.
I hope one day @benkamen will add drum synthesis options to Patterning the way it's done in iMS-20 and iPolysix
Yeah, I thought this would work to receive patterns from another app - would definitely make it more useful for me.
I think you'd like it - I can get some whacky sounds and rhythms out of it.
I was just looking at a sequencer gif (iOS pr0n :P) and thinking it would be great if you could set the clock ratio auto-rotate runs at for each track, i know the requests are mounting up but this jumped out at me.
I'm sure you have bigger priorities with the great app right now - and I know Gadget isn't the only game in town. But...
I'm dreaming of Patterning being fully in control of Gadget's drum machines - especially London... straight out of the box...
Gadget has got to be one of the leading ways people make tracks on iOS and it has this lovely built in drum machine - so imagine if you could just boot up Patterning - select Gadget as the midi destination and have it control every one of London's 8 drum's pitch, pan, FX send, reverse, decay, boost, punch and so on and so on all from within Patterning's automation wheels (just like it Patterning does with it's internal instruments).
Maybe this could be a good guide for what to set the pen layer midi cc's to as default. With people able to change them (or midi learn them) for other uses.
Anyway - attached are the midi ccs that Gadget uses for London and it's other drum modules - down to some brilliantly useful work putting this together by @solador78
That chart is so handy, thanks
so what's next for patterning?
Crucial for me are (2) things:
1) ability to export song wav.
2) ability to assign specific kits to each pattern in song mode.
Followed by a slightly tighter sample editing mechanic and sample previews.
I vote for all of the above, special mention to #2, if the impc can have a different mixer for each sequence and elastic drums can have all the stuff that it does then in my most hopeful humblest opinion I think olympia could make this happen... that's one of those features that would really put the app over the top I hope you sent them a request, great idea!
Manually changing kits in mid-pattern never exhibits any type of hiccup or break in the playback, so I would think it'd be no problem.
Just hooked up Patterning and my Nord Drum 2 (via iConnectMIDI) and I'm simply blown away. Setting up MIDI initially seemed like a tough mission but eventually turned out to be quite easy. The complex beat-crafting options in Patterning take the in its own right amazing Nord Drum 2 to a new level and it only starts to sound even better when the drum synth and Patterning both are present in the mix. So huge and rhythmically rich. I will record a demo asap and will post it here.
OT: I'm curious as to why you can't just bypass the Nord Beat app and plug straight to the Nord Drum 2. I'd like to avoid chaining apps if possible. Is this because Patterning is limited in some way with regards to MIDI out? Thanks!
I guess the "Patterning with Nord Drum 2" discussion I started pretty much answers your very valid questions.
Patterning can directly drive the drum synth and like that the Nord can get as rhythmically complex as Patterning and I like this a lot. Using Patterning just to send clock to the Nord Beat app has some creative advantages too, because in such a setting the patterns played by Nord Beat and Patterning are totally different but still run at the same bpm, in sync. This may result in some unusual beats which I also happen to like; Nord Beat doesn't really offer time division options, has a traditional step sequencer layout and is great for ( I arrived at this conclusion after I theamed up Ptrng with the ND2) steady grooves, whereas Patterning has several unique features (odd step numbers, rotate, different nr of steps in each track, etc.) so in the end you may find yourself in Percussive Heaven. 
I totally love Patterning, I find it kinda revolutionary in iOS music.
@jooga1972 Thanks very much for the reply. I picked up Patterning today. I don't have Nord Drum 2, but I do have the drum capabilities in my NL1/NL2/2X. I look forward to using Patterning with the drums and experimenting with other features as well. I do also use Nord Beat and although it works well, I find Patterning to be a bit more functional. Great fun!
^+1 selecting the sound from the centre circle sucks. It's too easy to select a different sound when setting a pattern event in the centre. It really isn't any faster/easier using the centre circle to select the sound, so please, this is another vote for removal of sound selection from the centre circle. Thanks Benkamen
Wow I heard about patterning yesterday and bought it immediately and what a great way to make beats this is. I sit down to play around and before I know it an hour has gone, really good fun compared to a conventional sequencer.
