Hey @EdZAB , I was happy to see your Prism video.
I am also glad that Leo is covering it on Sound For More, and that the documentation has got a lot better.
I still think there's a lot of room for walkthrough and workflow videos that could make Prism more accessible, much more quickly.
There is a learning curve on all of the more full featured sequencers available on iOS - there sorta has to be when they can do so much!
Prism, Fugue Machine Rubato, Waymaker, Woodpecker, mKer and MidiStep are all pretty impressive.
- All with very different quirks and workflows too!
At the moment 4pockets MidiStep is the one that I flow best with, but the evolving jam possibilities with Prism now have me hooked... 🙂
Hi all
I am just starting out with Prism - and like it a lot. Is there a way to import a midi file into a pattern? It might have moved to a new menu?
Just found it in the track menu 🙄
Quick demo video of one of the many cool features of Prism. More mini deep dives on other features to come.
I always mix up Prism and EG Nodes in my head, even though I don’t have EG Nodes. Saying that, I opened up Prism’s standalone “First Beat” and see EG Nodes listed as a suggested host. Are they similar in some way, or are they more completentary? It seems like the latter based on that quick setup.
No relation. They're very different animals and have very different approaches to sequencing.
Also EG Nodes is primarily meant as a host (though it can work as a MIDI Plugin as well). Prism is purely a MIDI sequencing plugin. It has no standalone version, does no hosting and has no in-built way to make sounds.
In Prism, Koala is available in a menu of popular drum machines - I have just tried connecting Prism to Koala in AUM, assuming that the 16 pads on the Prism interface would correspondence with the 16 pads (of Bank A) in Koala, but nothing happens. Have I misunderstood? And if not, can someone explain how to make them communicate in this way please? @A_Mortal_Mage
Also, the app has changed so much that the GUI in the youtube tutorial videos is really very different to what I am looking at on my ipad !
This is how I do it.

Turn off use midi mapping in t he koala midi settings.
Thanks @hacked_to_pieces - that’s very kind of you to post this. It’s incredibly fast, and I can’t really follow where your cursor is,…but I’m pretty sure I’m following this procedure. At 0;34 you press something that opens up a menu with all the Prism Midi outs, and then you select the top one (1) - Where will I find that? When I open the same menu in Koala and press Prism, a blue tick appears, but no additional menu (?)
Mine doesn’t say “16 outputs”, and it doesn’t have this arrow. Is this possibly why I can’t get it to work?
At 0:34 I go under the Menu in AUM where you assign midi so you assign Koala to one (1) midi out and using a drum track in
Prism you can then trigger the 16 pads. Again the key is too Turn off "use midi mapping" in t he koala midi settings.
Cool, working now - kind of.
Although when I went into Koala settings, “use midi mappings” was off by default.
Now the pads in Prism correspond to the pads in Koala, apart from pads 5,6,7 which are silent (but there are definitely samples on these pads in Koala - weird) ….. anyway, I’ll figure it out I’m sure….
