    I’ll leave this here for now.

    This is part ii testing dRambo
    as a performance instrument.

    Forgive the rawness of the sound
    I’ve yet to start shaping it as I have
    a few projects on the go.

    It’s merely a soundcheck rather
    than a completed piece.

    Stop talking, post examples, please. I want to like the flexibility, but even elektron boxes are more straight forward and yields cooler results than i've seen or heard so far. It's cool, no doubt, but also not for everyone, somewhat like sunvox, mirack, beatcutter, jamm pro and even aum.

    I think you missed this post:

    Everyone here does post examples and how to’s when recommending valid Drambo solutions or utilities to people seeking those answers. Whether it’s in the form of instructions, screen shots or screen recordings. Everyone I know here answers questions to their utmost, and offers valid and practical solutions.

    Just to show I’m talking out of my ass, here’s an unlisted video I posted here, for a person wanting tempo synced and recordable XY pad CC automation (a specific and niche request). So I listed the details, and recorded a video showing musical and technical application of it.

    Furthermore, if someone is asking for lists of synth apps with Steiner Parker filters, and the only response is Drambo, that’s no fault of Drambo for being the only IOS app that actually has the feature in question.
    So cut Drambo and it’s users some slack. The app is as capable as they say, and many of the users are too.

    I just don't understand people who seem bitter about some people's enthusiasm for Drambo.

    Bitter is such a harsh word.

    More like "gently frustrated and amused by the cult-like pushing of Drambo as the solution to every problem raised in every thread".

    But, hey, it's a big forum - lots of room for everybody and their opinons. Even mine...

    Kinda pisses me off to think that every time I list Drambo as a solution to a problem (usually alongside other possibilities) that I'm probably being considered a fanboy.

    I don't give a crap what app provides a solution. A solution is a solution. If something like Drambo or Mozaic solves a lot of problems it's gonna get mentioned often. Deal with it.

    People sure get creative with what to be offended about these days. :| (Yes, I'm pointing a finger at myself right now too. 😂)

    I'm offended by you being offended! :wink:

    Now it's your turn - you can be offended by me being offened by you being offended. Then it's my turn. And so on.

    This is kinda fun - more like a playground game than an argument. (I think lockdown has given me too much time on my hands) :smiley:

  • Where are all of these bitter, offended people? I feel like I've missed something.

    To me, it's kind of like when a friend/associate goes on a new diet and emphatically shares how it changed their life and tries to convince you to do the same. Not saying all Drambros are like that. But yeah...

    For what it's worth, I don't think anybody here thinks of you as a fanboy. You are one of the more knowledgeable people on the forum who contributes a lot.

    After realizing that it supports AUs i was intrigued, because i find the oscillators pretty boring.

    I am a fan of Drambo but it took me months to really dive in properly and become a DramBro.

    Am I doing anything special with it that I couldn’t have done before with other apps? No

    Am I working on tracks for hours without frustration in Drambo? Yes and that’s what I love about it. I stay in a good music-making mood when I use it and am less prone to doing experiments that lead to nowhere.

  • Drambros and foes unite. As long as there’s workarounds and solution. Haven’t we suffered enough in other conflicts.

    For me Drambo was the answer to a lot of functionality that I have missed or desired on iOS music production. Besides an Auv3 clip launcher that’s in the pipeline but we have Koala and it’s glorious.

    What if Drambo is actually Octatrack and Euro Rack having an orgy with an iPad on steroids?

    Can’t imagine any hardware replacement in one unit

    Two things stand out for me in this post:

    1. ‘Oscillators are boring’
    2. ‘Stop talking, post examples‘… ‘elektron boxes are more straight forward and yields cooler results than i've seen or heard so far’

    I think you should get an Elektron box.

    To me it sounds like you (generic you) go to see a friend to ask for an advice/solution to a problem and when that is given based on their personal experience you feel like they’re trying to push their ideas onto you.

    The fact that this generates such strong emotions means that the D-virus is continuing to spread. It’s only a matter of time before….

    Any publicity is good publicity, at least in this case.

    My grandfather lived by the simple rule that every DIY task can be completed with just a hammer and enough nails. This sometimes resulted in spectacular workarounds and hilarious family stories, but as a matter of fact he always prevailed.

    Some of the Drambo activists on this forum remind me of him. Yes, the solution may require patching in 27 modules (as opposed to the alternative which might be ticking a single box in the settings of another app), and at the end you may have to horizontal-scroll for 2.5 minutes, but "you can do it with Drambo". :smiley:

    While this is probably the main thing that keeps me from trying it I can totally imagine that it's my loss, and I have nothing but respect for you, Drambo people. 👊

    There is minimise feature to make your rack to only display the stuff you want. So you don’t have to scroll.

    There’s also foldable section module that allows you to errr fold sections ;).

    The third thing is that you don’t have to build the same thing from scratch. You can save your rack and next time you need that sound you can recall it. In fact you don’t even need to build anything because patchstorage is filled with ready synths, drum machines and effects. All you need to do is to learn how to use the sequencer which isn’t different from any other non-modular offering on iOS.

    The instrument below contains 17 modules. Once you’re done making it you don’t have to maximise it ever again.

    If you don’t want to make it, just download it here

    https://patchstorage.com/hang-in-there/

    This is no different from any other plug in you’d use in your Cubasis or Garage band. You save it in your rack or as an instrument preset and it will also be saved with your project.
    If you choose to use Drambo only using downloaded patches you actually don’t need to learn any of the modular synthesis at all.

    I tried downloading it, but Drambo crashes when I try to load the module.

    Hmmm…
    Drambo crashes for me too when I try to load this ”Hang” instrument…

    @Skyblazer has kindly re made it from screenshots I’ve sent to him because I made it with a beta version that had some graphic changes so I couldn’t fix it by simply removing beta modules.

    I still haven’t uploaded it though. I’ll let you know when I do though. Just doing some homework with my daughter atm. ;)

  • Alright, Looking for the general Drambo thread, you’re it! :)

    I dont want to come of as deadpan two posts in to this so I’ll say it upfront that I probably think Drambo Can have different pattern lengths, I Just have to think in 3/4 4/4 5/4 whatever, but I have a full plate..
    At this point I need a sequencer that can have the pattern length I want.
    Is it right that Drambo can’t play all instruments 16 steps on sequence/pattern 1, and 5 steps in sequence pattern 2?

    I want to make a techno setup in Drambo, and Run Loopy in there for guitar.
    Drambo has such a nice setup for modulation I would be silly not to try.

    So far I have not been able to have different pattern lengths. I thought to ask here first if it’s possible before I send a mail to the producers.

    What do you all think about this? I cant jump this math, I have to learn a lot of other stuff<3
    But tell me,

    To answer your question; yes, you can easily set your pattern lengths.

    Check out these menus circled.

  • Hi gang for me it dosent work like that.

    In this video notice how after I change pattern length from 16 to 8 (Track two) it plays through itself twice before before the sequencer moves on.

    https://youtube.com/shorts/GrLqNJlQnwQ?si=FLdoI4oHlUKuURIb

    I would like to play 8 and move on. Is that easily possible without a workaround?

    The CLIP’s on that Pattern Lane remain the same length so it will repeat the Pattern length
    until the CLIP’s have fully played and then move on to the next Pattern length.
    If the CLIP’s on that Pattern lane were the same size then it would play 8 steps and then move on.

    So what I guess you want is for each individual track to have an 'unlocked' sequencer through the clips that isn't tied to keeping the project in sync.

  • @Gravitas
    Ty man, I see!
    Even if I am just using one track (with no information in the others), I have to manually change each track to the same length?

    Is that perhaps a smart starting point for the request to BeepStreet?
    -If there is only one instrument, (or the instruments used have the same length),
    Pattern length for that part of the song will automatically be set to the length of those, without having to change all instruments seperatly ( ? )

    In this short (but boring!) video I’m only using one instrument but pattern 2 plays twice before moving on.
    https://youtube.com/shorts/JXheVsKgPoo?si=ANnvXIJixAmOqsC0

    Is it a smart request? I don’t think I have the patience to change pattern length of 8 instruments for using one, if thats how it works

  • @Michael_R_Grant Hi, didn’t see your repo there before I answered. I think covered it.

    Basically I don’t like it if I have to manually change all the instruments to the same length to be able to have different pattern lengths
