  • Finally, dived back into this thread in a while. 💥@Michael. Looks amazing! Instabuy of course.

    In other news... pathologically obsessive attention to detail? Dunno where he gets that from. 😂

    Pretty sure that’s a launchpad (he’s my QA team, and is reasonably familiar)

    Wow! I would be so proud 🥲

  • And here I'm thinking about getting a Launchpad Pro Mk3 but nah...
    ...I'm too much of a touch addict already :D

  • @Michael how old is your boy? That’s impressive precision!

    He’s just turned four 😊

    Wow, time flies... and impressive skills for a four year old! 🤯

  • Doesn’t it! (If you’re looking for someone to blame for the 6 1/2 year project timeline... blame him 😉)0

    @Michael Novation will sell a lot of those controllers

    Between what Michael has just shown and the Atom 2 capabilities I'm really thinking of buying one soon.

    Indeed. @Michael We know Loopy Pro is an AU host but can it host AU MIDI?

    Oh, yes I think it will, and they’ll serve as just another midi controller for driving instruments or the midi control system (and later the midi will be recordable).

    @Michael Did your four-year-old draw that? AMAZING

    @Michael — “Everyone” Is adopting the Launchpad. That’s great b/c it’s important for creating an Ableton/Push killer. Please make sure you support Launchpad PRO Mark III and integrate as tightly as possible with LK and Atom2. (You may think of this as a prayer.) Ready whenever you are...

    No, no, he's just colouring in. His drawing's pretty awesome too, but more like this sort of thing:

    But, I digress.. =)

    Yeah, I might need to buy one of those, or work closely with someone who has one..

    Clearly amazingly gifted, like his Dad. The other drawings would have been Mozart level for a four year old. :)

    This is great news. I rely on using Mozaic, Streambyter, etc to filter and expand on MIDI routing and messaging.

  • @Michael I'm wondering about the issue with AUv3 looping apps crashing a lot due to the memory allocation situation... My understanding is that it's not so much the apps' fault, but a limitation of using things that take a lot of memory in AUv3. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.
    Have you solved this in some way for hosting Loopy HD in, say, AUM? Or for situations where I'd be compiling a bunch of longish loops for a song, would that require using Loopy HD as the AUv3 host instead of AUM? Or if I wanted to still do all my apps and routing etc in AUM, would I use Loopy HD alongside it as an IAA, as I currently use Group the Loop?

    I have indeed! Loops are not stored in memory, but streamed (in an efficient and audio-safe way) from disk, so Loopy doesn't need a great deal of memory.

    With that said, I still believe it'll be a better experience using Loopy standalone, as its AU hosting system is quite nice, and very flexible, and integrated quite tightly into the UI. It's my hope that Loopy users will not have any need for AUM or AB (he says, putting his Audiobus alter-ego out of work).

  • @Michael ... Thanks, sound very interesting! I look forward to trying it out ... in due course :)

    I would love this! I came late to the AUM or even AUV3 party so am not as committed to AUM as some others here. For me a host that can load apps and let me load my various guitar sims is perfect.

    ...at the appropriate juncture, in the fullness of time.

    Do you think AU MIDI hosting will be in at initial release? Or not until midi looping is added later on?

    Yeah, I plan to make it available from initial release. It won't be in the first beta or two, but I at least plan to add it between then and release.

    Will there be a way to interconnect these nodes/v.ports - daisy chain midiAU?

    Convince me =)

    I can’t... :smiley:
    I know I would use it, but there are enough hosts for that...
    I guess it’d be useful mostly for generative. On practical side my only concern is midi control over midiAUs - physical port ‘above’ virtual ones, but maybe I’m reading too much into ‘just another midi controller’.
    I’m just too excited to see your concept. 😊

    Hehe - okay, fair enough. Yeah, I think that might be a bit too much complication - you can always use another host to handle it and then send the result over Virtual MIDI.

  • It’s looking better an better!! Will be a “open” beta? If not I’d like to beta test this jewel, will fit perfectly in my upcoming live set!

    Now if we can just get Mos Def to use it with Fallon on the Tonight Show...

  • I think Fallon should fly Michael out so he can demo it himself😎
