DM1 AU or equivalent?
Okay so between Poison and iSEM and a handful of other synths I've got that side of things covered in Cubasis and can actually work similarly to how I do on my laptop with complete project recall. Still sucks that I gotta do all my sampled drums through IAA though and am limited to one instance. What's with the lack of drum machine AUs? I've got BramBros and it's cool but I wanna get all those fat punchy 80s and 90s drum sounds. Anything in the works that might come close? And seeing how DM1 is finally getting some love with updates again, any chance of this going to AU?

Agreed it's a big hole in the AUv3 arena right now. I'm hoping FunkBox gets the AU treatment. BeatHawk AU is close but not quite there
Instruments in general have been a slow trickle. Been loving Addictive Pro and look foward to Mood as an AU.
I sure hope Cubasis gets nice AU parameter automation at some point.
Yeah I tried BeatHawk AU and it was just too much. Felt like loading a song within a song when all I wanted to do was load a kit, plus it wasn't state saving and would always recall whatever I had last opened in BH, regardless of what was saved in the Cubasis project. Kinda disappointing. AU FunkBox, DM1, maybe DM2, and Spark...well I think I'd be set. I could actually write music on this thing haha.
Have you considered sampling your fave DM1 kits into a clip and use them within ReSlice? With Reslice's recent choke groups it has everything I need for a drum machine.
Bm3 will come soon, you could host ruismakers in it and sample the hits internally to different pads
It seems much of the energy for iOS music has been for jamming and live use. DAW related production is hopefully on the rise now, and as people used to a truer plugin workflow make their way to iOS we should see more innovation for AUv3.
I have to believe an elegant, rock-solid drum sampler AU is being conceived in someone's Xcode right now .
And that would take like less than 1 minute to do including trimming
Yea i think it would be the easiest way to make your own drums to some program like that where you can do the rest as well(not going to go into how great the app will be
).
Looking forward to BM3 as much as anyone else. But the OP was talking about Drum AU in Cubasis. I'd hope this forum wouldn't succumb to everything being viewed through the BM lens.
You can do this with cubasis mini sampler and assign different drum samples to each key/pad. Not the easiest way, but it works.
You can also use Reslice and load and chop a drumloop. Disable the arp and trigger the slices manually using the keyboard/pads.
Oh yeah I mean I appreciate there are workarounds, but if there are already apps out there that have all the samples mapped already it feels like a lot of work to export, re-sample and re-map all of it by hand. Although I acknowledge that if I want to use those sounds, as of now, that's the only option available to me. I'm just holding out hope for a DM or Funkbox style AU that's just ready to go. Load, use, save, recall. As it is, DM1 through IAA is a lot more stable than it used to be. Every now and then it'll go silent and i have to switch to the app again and it starts working. But previously it wouldn't even load or accept MIDI input so, some progress at least!
I always end up extracting the samples from the apps I have and make 'sampler instruments' on demand.
I store all the samples in AudioShare ready for import to any of the apps I use.
Sure it takes some time to create 'Funk Box' MiniSampler instruments in Cubasis but when they're done they are done
Yes, and about a year and a half before it is released. Old (no longer funny) joke, soz.
prove it. I will need video evidence for that.
I'll see what I can do once we get a 'green light' to share screenshots and another details...
I don't think @mathieugarcia will ban from the BM3 beta for sharing this...

Wow
Yeah, it works the same for IAA-Instruments and AB3 & IAA-Generators too when you enable midi-out for the source pad and use the on-screen keyboard...
As I've said before, it's really worth the wait
Yep, and stuff like the new thing for the repeat slots, i wouldnt even thought of(and afaik other ios apps cant do it), but find it really interesting, possibly very useful and im sure many will feel the same. Longer the wait, better the app. And seeing how often the beta is updated, the devs seem to be working on it. So the wait certainly isnt due to lazy devs, but all sorts of candies(some never even seen on ios) taking some time to polish.
YES! WOW indeed... but now you have encouraged me to be even more of a jerk online.
Thanks bigtime man, you made my morning!
Any pitch correction in BM3?
Wow, that was really inspiring. Thanks, Samu.
Good question...the one in GarageBand is almost perfect. I hope BM3 tackles this too
There are so many ways to mangle audio it's really crazy...
You can easily enable 'stretch' for a sample (this way it keeps it's 'speed') after that you're free to play chords, transpose or automate the pitch using 'step modulators', envelopes, lfos etc, you get the idea...
Another neat trick is to enable 'Stretch' & 'Legato'.
This way you can play legato with the sounds thus transposing it in realtime by playing without affecting it's speed...
(Or add an 'lfo' to warble pitch for drunken vocals etc).
Some polish is still needed but it will be worth the wait.
