Just downloaded the update. I finally have the chance to pour through miRack (at least to see all the modules it has), and this new update is fantastic. Even more modules to look at.
As a lot of you know, I'm just getting (re)started with miRack. Will probably first use it as an effects unit in AUM, and then dig more into simple generative patches, and go on from there.
How does this sound when compared to Drambo?
i think this is more about workflow than about sound .. both apps are greatly capable modular enviroments, withbalmost unlimited posibilities and high quality sound - with very different approach .. personally I like miRack very much and using it often, on other side not enjoying Drambo’s approach at all, the worklfow just doesn’t clicked with me (at least not for siruations when i want to do modular stuff)
That's impossible to answer. They're modular. They sound like what you stick together. miRack has more choices of modules. Drambo is polyphonic whereas miRack is primarily monophonic unless you do a lot of trickery.
As Dendy says, it's not about the sound, it's about the workflow. They're both modular, but the approach toward modularity and sequencing are vastly different between the two of them.
For me it comes down to: miRack for generative stuff, Drambo for sequenced stuff. But that's just me.
i use mirack just for simple patches like this .. for synths and fxs .. and then i have multiple instances of such simple patches in project
@Antos3345
The beauty of both MiRack and Drambo (and hardware modular, too) is that no two people will use them in the same way. I have both, though Drambo was a more recent acquisition and so far I haven’t got to grips with it - MiRack feels like a much more comfortable place for me (your mileage way very well vary).
You can use MiRack like @dendy - small patches in separate instances, or make big all in one patches. Or a kind of combination approach, using the multiple ins and outs version in AUM, where you have one big patch but housing several sub-patches processing different audio channels or MIDI.
MiRack + AUM turns your collection of AUv3s into extra modules (in a way), and the fact you can pipe audio and MIDI in and out to hardware (plus some CV with the right audio interface) makes for a really powerful setup. I assume Drambo has similar possibilities (plus polyphony if that’s important to you). These are hugely powerful tools if you get on with the way they work.
They do require a different approach to standalone synths (for want of a better description), where you download the synth, read the manual and learn what it can do. With modular tools, you’re mostly starting from a lower level, ie the parts that are already built in and configured in a fixed architecture synth. And some of the modules won’t have an obvious purpose initially (or even after a long time!). And there’s no fixed way to use the modules, so you can use sequencers as modulators, LFOs as sequencers etc etc.
Anyone have any success running MiRack on multiple ipads via Ableton link? I have link on, LinkV2 by Stellare on the rack and nothing. Can't find anything on YouTube or searching Google.
I'm able to make it set the tempo if I have some other app such as Audiobus or AUM set the tempo and manage the transport. However, the clock output is bugged, possibly in the same way @mifki just fixed for the host sync module.
Here's how I managed to get it to work (all steps for both instances):
Add the Link module.
Add the host sync module (yes, even if in standalone mode).
Add the Clocked module
Patch host sync Run to Clocked Run and Clock to BPM (Yes, this is correct)
Use another app such as AUM on either device to start/stop transport and set BPM
Not ideal having to use another app for tempo and start/stop, but seems to work.
[edit] added wiki entry
It seems like the Link module could really use Run and Clock or BPM inputs like Clocked has. At a minimum, you should be able to start/stop and set the tempo from within miRack.
Anyone tried hosting MiRack as an auv3 within logic, and is it stable/does it correctly receive and output multichannel audio and midi tracks like in AUM? Thinking about upgrading my iPad so I can use this, I use MiRack pretty extensively and pretty familiar with using Logic on a Mac, a combination of the two would be perfect for me.
So, Mirack is still gone from the EU store since weeks now. Will it ever come back? 🫤
.
Do you own it already? If you do then it's in your purchased items.
I do. But that‘s not the point. Just a matter of time then til it‘s gone forever…and i remember not long ago the dev here wrote he has still plans with it.
That's the point. I don't believe it will be gone forever for existing owners. The developer is committed to miRack and to keeping it alive. He's not one that's going to drop paying his developer fees so that it disappears completely (as the NS2 developer is doing).
The only impact of this is that people in the EU can't purchase it right now.
so, updates are still possible in EU even without selling it here?
Hummm .... I assumed so, but I'm not totally sure now that you mention it.
I know you can still find it in your purchased items. My assumption is if it's there, it can be updated.
I mean, worst case, lets say you uninstalled it. You can re-install it as long as it's in your purchased items. Re-installing always downloads the latest version. So it seems safe to conclude that it would still get updates. But I don't know that for sure.
Good question.
btw, I know the developer had to move to another country this past year, so that disrupted plans. The removal from sale due to not updating trader status could be related to that, and could possibly change later. All pure speculation on my part though.
One thing I'd like to see in miRack is support for expanders. For example, in the ADDR-SEQ sequencer, you would add a number of expanders to make the step length increase from 8 to 16 or 24 or whatever.
And for bugs, I've noticed that some of the Bidoo sequencers are not obeying the reset signal. I think zOù MAï is one of them, not sure about the others.
Also, this has been asked many times before, but precise input of values for the controls with the keyboard would be nice. And output, too, via a popup or status bar or something.
The app had a minor update recently, so hopefully that's a sign that the developer is finding more time for development.
Yea I would love expander support. I used to chain ADDR-SEQ modules with bogaudio switches to force a sequence after another, then settled on Voxglitch Digital Sequencer instead.
Oh, that's a nice sequencer. I think I was confused by it when I first looked at it, and then just forgot about it. I will try this for my next patch, the manual makes things quite clear: https://github.com/clone45/voxglitch/blob/master/docs/digital-sequencer.md
I created a 32-step sequence in miRack clocked at 240 BPM. Hence, 0.25s per step, or 8s per sequence. I wanted to use 8FO (which I like for creating LFOs of different phases) to modulate some settings on Dexter (FM module), but with a frequency of exactly 1/8 Hz. So the period of the LFO would match the duration of the sequence. But you can't always precisely specify things in miRack like you can in VCV Rack.
No matter, though, I worked out how to do it: use the Fixed Voltage Source module by NYSTHI to feed a certain fixed voltage to the V/OCT input of 8FO. But what fixed voltage? In my case, I want 8FO to go at a frequency of f = 1/8 Hz. The voltage necessary is:
v = ln(f / k) / ln(2)
where k = (440 * 2^0.25) / 256 = 2.043949728910927, and ln is just the natural log function found on your calculator. I thought this might be useful for someone.
first request for the possibility of entering exact values is almost 6 years ago
still not possible
:-(
