Auria Pro playing Lorentz by using StepPolyArp, for Auria Pro Users.

edited December 2015 in General App Discussion
Hi, here is a way to record notes from StepPolyArp to new Auria Pro. It is not a show off, but a easy way for a start to understand our new machine. So, once the set up get perfect, you can record any instrument sitting in Auria Midi Instrument , In this case, it is Lorentz synth on channel 1.

1. Turn Auria and SPA on and set Auria midi page to send clock and notes to SPA

2. In SPA,setting Sync page , tick Auria, and in midi out page, tick StepPoplyArp midi out on channel 1

3. Adjust your notes range on SPA

4. Set up a midi track then press FX button to set up midi control. see photo

5. Insert a instrument in this case Lorentz on channel 1. 

6. on Auria's track mdi in and midi out, you insert StepPolyArp 

7. go to track 3 midi track window , draw a one long bar on C3 notes to cover a 4 bar lenth long,

 then you loop that 4 bars by tick looping plus a auto return button for you to stop the playhead. 

8. you arm the red button and randomized StepPolyArp to choose what sound for your liking

9. Press recording red button on Auria and press play to record the notes. You can stop then see all your particular style of midi notes tansform your one long bar loop. In this way, you have plenty opportunities to design many tracks. So producing quality music is no more too difficult for any one.

Too good to be true, now we can have a best set up for playing iPad music, good wekend to all! :D

  • Thank you Captain. A generous explanation.
  • the first phto is not clear, the one bar loop should be long enough to cover more than 4 bars. Very easy to setup for recording pattern.

  • Thank you Captain. A generous explanation.
    you are welcome, enjoy the set up! 
  • The trick here is to help you to re-write the notes on track, saving you filling note directly on track, focusing on how to design melody.,Once it is done for few varieties. A song is ready for decorations. Korg Gadget sounds good, but in terms of melody design, Auria Pro wins here. Too easy!
  • One more, I forgot to say...

    Put Gadget on instruments slot. Use SPA to control melody, then fixing notes on Auria Pro, So, no more difficult for anyone. 
  • Oh, no way, Gadget is not a IAA instrument, can only record note then pass the sound by Audiobus....to audio track. ;)
  • Yeah I've been playing Lyra with ChordPolyPad, easy to set up and No Longer Crashing since i formatted my ipad.

    @Kaikoo - could you explain this:

    " then you loop that 4 bars by tick looping plus a auto return button for you to stop the playhead. "

    I don't think you can loop record midi can you?? 

    And I don't really know what the 'auto return' button does.

    Great idea above to have the same midi track receiving IAA audio from Lorenz but sending midi to SPA (which in turn send Midi through to Lorenz). I didn't realise you could do this all with just one track from Auria. It means that as well as 'arps' you could create some really nice rhythmic 'pulsed/gated' phrases in the same kind of style as Figure produces - which would be very nice indeed.

    @Matt_Fletcher_2000 ,


    ' auto return ' button has nothing to do with the recording, it is just a convenient way to push the starting point back for playhead back to begining. 


    Loop mode for a one bar line (a note) is a way to signal the StepPolyArp a key you would like to press on  SPA keyboard. You can have many key notes you want to draw on Auria Pro, one bar is a boring mehtod, but it is easy for you to listen the random notes SPA  wants to generates. Once you got a special rhythmic groove form SPA, you just press Auria Pro recording button. Auria Pro begins to re-write that one bar midi notes to whatever midi notes SPA wants to spit out! That is a smart way to listen variety of rhythmic or melodical things.

    This is new way that no one knows about! until they read my paragraph here!

    You have good eyesight to spot on this from ( you are a serious player) , excuse my clumsy english! ;)
  • That one line is your base note for the tone on StepPolyArp.

     eg. C3 note
  • Thank you Captain. A generous explanation.

  • Thank @Kaikoo - I get it now I think. I get what you're saying about feeding SPA a base note and then getting a load of notes back and recording these in Auria.

    For a moment I thought you'd found a way to loop record in Auria. But alas, no.

    What I have in mind that time was how can I get those beautiful sound through arpeggiation inside Auria. I certainly have to figure out how a third party app do the job between synth app and Auria Pro. Once notes pattern created, I can have any sound be changeable to other sounds. The only way to do this is utilizing midi notes. My experience told me, the only app can smoothly runing all these on iPad is by StepPolyArp. What is the most interesting part is the base notes rewirtten. Seeing those different long notes being changed is the magic of Auria Pro. Once get to those final step, any of those plugins from FabFilters and Turnado can transform your lovely sound. Wizard of Magic!

    Ditto. You know that's going to be a disproportionate grail now....

      @JohnnyGoodyear, @Matt_Fletcher_2000, @rhcball , @syrupcore

     Today after few practice, I found one thing for you to make adjustment! If you follow the the Auria Pro looping pointer , the StepPolyArp will synch to Auria tempo, but you can only repeat the line (base note) one time only.

    After running to end of loop, StepPolyArp will stop and will not rereapt process. You need to change the 'Send Midi Start and Stop' button to 'no' on Auria Pro 'Midi Setting page'. So StepPolyArp can continue to repeat the loop that even the Auria midi track finish the first loop, so Auria will not send a stop command to StepPolyArp.

     The only problem to tick to 'No' is that StepPolyArp can not synch to the Auria's tempo, so we need to manually adjust both apps's tempo to match each other. That is not problematic at all, hope this explain well! photo here for your reference to tick that off!
