Sorry, I had just had to chuckle at this... I always much preferred MIDI sync instead of Ableton Link... but everyone kept saying that Ableton Link is "essential" in a sequencer and one of the BEST things about it would be that it REQUIRES NO MASTER/SLAVE
now you have the salad! (German expression)
There's a reason why absolutely every sync system on Earth from sequencers to airplanes to spaceships has a master/slave relationship!
(on another note: there was a dedicated section in the Ableton Link developer documentation which dealt with this problem, and I thought I had adhered to those guidelines. Maybe I should have another go. However, it seems to be a widespread problem so either no developer reads that, or even following those guidelines to the letter doesn't prevent the problem from happening (logically)).
Not currently possible, but extensive non-destructive per-track transpose features (similar to the delay / swing sliders) are strongly under consideration for a future update.
Not automatically, but a global "Insert / Delete Time" feature is under consideration for an update as well.
You can do this from the up/down arrow buttons in the track's or instrument's settings menu ("..."). Moving an instrument or the "main" track of an instrument will also move all sub-tracks. (if Automatic Track Management is enabled).
It is not possible to collapse individual tracks, but you can keep both notes and any number of controllers in a single clip so they only occupy a single arranger track.
Yes. In the Pianoroll editor, in the INSERT (+) menu, you can use the clipboard to copy and paste notes (or controllers) between clips or even between projects.
Sorry, time signature changes are not available currently.
Not currently possible, but well worth consideration for an update!
The only thing I like about Link is that it's generally a consistent way to sync and in the case of AUM really the only viable option.
Still I don't know why there isn't an option for devs to make their app the Link "master."
Probably because you'd be giving apps like Auria Pro, Cubasis, and GarageBand even more excuse to continue to refuse to be a slave.
I like the idea of having whoever sends the start/stop become the master.
& I agree.
There are pretty good reasons for audio apps not to slave on iOS... (the required constant re-sampling eats CPU and sounds crappy if not done right).
I don't understand some of the MIDI apps that don't slave, though.
Its not trivial to do even with just midi. Xequence 1 couldn't slave and even Xequence 2 still needs to take a breath before catching up to tempo changes for the time-being. And we know how talented mr. sevensystems is.
Still, it's a badly needed thing as long as there are so many of us not content with any of the completely self-contained DAW environments.
Oh man 😉 that puts a lot of pressure on me 😂
I must admit though that Xequence is a special case in that it has been deliberately designed for NOT being able to change the tempo while playing and that meant that a lot of shortcuts could be taken during development.
Even then, if it were able to follow EXTERNAL tempo changes, it would always lag behind those by the "MIDI Pre-Buffer" setting. No way to avoid that even with the talent of 10 Albert Einsteins 😉 (an internal tempo track could be followed smoothly and instantly though once it were available).
ahh. So a no-win situation. Need to sacrifice timing accuracy to follow tempo changes. Tough spot.
I wonder if slewing to tempo changes would be a practical approach.
Well, probably in many situations, but not all. For example, if a song suddenly wants to have 4 bars in half tempo, that change MUST musically occur instantly, otherwise it would simply sound stupid 🙂
But I do wonder if there's ANY combination of software, mobile or desktop, that can handle such a situation cleanly, always.
Personally of course, it all doesn't bother me at all anyway -- I have 2030 songs in my music library (and trust me, I know every second of every single one of them from memory), and not ONE of them has a SINGLE tempo change 😂 I guess it's just not my thing.
(I do of course see and respect that my users are different and that's why I keep it firmly on the roadmap!)
Just a little info about the upcoming 2.1.0 update. It is mainly a maintenance update with lots of improvements and fixes, but also contains one major new feature that should have a large impact on your everyday recording proceedings.
It will probably be another week or two until it drops as we're currently busy moving to Cork, but you can get excited already
--- Upcoming Xequence 2.1.0 update ---
NEW:
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:
MIDI FILE IMPORT IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES:
FIXES:
Looking forward to all the good improvements!
Especially the Multi-Take loop recording! And the new Midi export function!
Thanks for all you do.
Xequence 2: providing MIDI for the Uber-DAW with AudioBus for Synth hiosting and Loopy HD to record tracks. "Best in Breed" in 3 lanes. AUM can be added for awesome mixing... Discuss and share insights.
Enso (loop), Atom in AUM work for very short loops of MIDI and audio but why use traing wheels when you could fly? Fly!
I mean, I’m humbled by your awesomeness! Thanks for all your hard work!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😌🎹🎼🐶
@McD @Tones4Christ Thanks 🙂 this is really a minor update but then again, progress is always good, even in small steps 😉
Hope you enjoy Cork! I spent a lot of wonderful time there on business trips back in the day.
Oh that's interesting. Note that I'm talking about COUNTY Cork, not Cork City. Will be in the Bantry area...
Oh my! Even better. We used to go there on weekends sometimes.
Yeah, the area looked very weekendy for sure! 🙂
Is this push-esque layout part of the 2.1.0 update?
Sorry, not sure what push-esque means? The feature in that video (record each loop iteration to a separate track) is part of the 2.1.0 update though, yes 🙂
The video gave me the impression you had added scale options to the grid layout.
Upon further investigation, it looks like you're just using the existing 'Sample Slicer' preset?
Any chance we'll see this feature added?
Oh, now I get it! Yes, sorry, that is just a "drum" map that linearly maps the 64 pads to every second MIDI note. I personally use it to chop up vocal samples etc. with a synth that can map note number to sample start. Maybe that map is confusing and should actually be removed from the factory maps.
And yes, auto-creation of musical layouts for the pads is on the roadmap.
Sorry for the newb question but how do I get it to start stop sync with AUM? I want to hit play on Xequence to start play on AUM
Turn on Ableton link with start/stop option in both.
Thank you. I tried that a few times before but I guess I just kept missing a step somewhere but I got it going now
Xequence 2 is a absolutely awesome and I’m really enjoying recording midi into it with Chords from Navichord and ChordPolyPad 😌❤️🎹
And then route those out to AUM and AB3 to drive KEW! So amazing!
Yes it is a great app.. wish it would go AU..
Xequence 2 is one of the few apps I see no need for AU.
The piano roll, and a modular mini-timeline would be handy for jams I guess, but other than that I just don't see what AU adds. What am I missing?
I think what I really miss being in AUM and tweaking the synths it’s the ability to see the notes dropping into the timeline of X2. Or even playing X2’s awesome keyboard; but that one we can buy separately.
But AU is not needed imho.
