Does anyone know if the documentation for Drambo is keeping up with all these changes? For example, I have no idea how to do that.
I know I sound ungrateful. I’m not. But unless you’re using Drambo day-in-day-out (or have been using Beta versions for a while), it’s hard to keep up.
I just accidentally figured out how to do it. Man that’s obscure! 
Cool as fuck but obscure.
Great update, all the “little” things that make Drambo even better.
By the way while browsing the menu and looking for new things I found “randomize” in the track menu. This option was added in December 2022, but somehow I didn’t notice it until today. But it is super awesome.
I’m probably misreading this, but in case you didn’t know, you can do this natively in Drambo without Mozaic.
Only takes 2 modules, too! MIDI to CV and a MIDI CC Generator, just link the Note node to the Wave node and it’ll convert the note number to a CC amount.
Please share!
I agree 100%!
The documentation is sorely lacking.
Even the in-app help pages have loads of missing sections (been that way since the beginning).
It’s a complex app, and to a certain extent, if you’re going to be using some of the more esotric modules then you probably know what you’re doing already.
However, a Drambo guide, with clear descriptions, examples of real-world usages and little useful Projects to build, would be amazing.
Maybe Synth-Dawg (the person who wrote the Deluge Guidebook, amongst others), or someone else with experience could have a look?
I really feel that Drambo is the most useful and revolutionary music software ever made.
It deserves better documentation!
No you’re bang on. Thanks @Laser - that’s so obvious now you’ve pointed it out - I suspected it was possible but never dug into it and just went straight to Mozaic after an internet search.
There are some other parameter scaling controls and wotnot on the Mozaic patch in using but I’m sure they can also be replicated in Drambo.
Time for me to get my hands dirty on making a project that doesn’t need Mozaic I reckon - big thanks for the suggestion!
I can even extend the functionality of it to handle some annoyances I’ve found with my current Mozaic method - excited!
I might even make a video of it since I’m sure it would help others with devices that need CC for note pitch (like many drum machines - I love using drum machines for chromatic play - gets some unexpected results!)
You’re welcome!
Yeah me too, time to dig in and try and understand some more of the modules. Drambo rewards the digging. The possibilites it opens are insane!
Do it!
The Drambo dev… is the best guy ever.
The new update broke my Drambo. I run a big project (over 4,000 modules), that controls everything in my studio. My studio can’t work without it running.
I emailed him, he replied in 5 minutes, found me a workaround, in less than an hour I was up and running again.
In case anyone else has this same problem (large project not opening/rendering correctly). The work around is this:
Open a new project.
Rescale the rack to 85% (pull the little chevron/up arrow on the right fully upwards).
Load your project.
This allowed me to load my project. He’s looking into optimizations which may help.
Wonderful app, wonderful guy. Thank you very much!
Do any of you drambo whizzes know how I might get a gate from the envelope follower? Essentially I want to control a buffer repeater but I can’t find a way to convert the follower cv output to a gate signal ? What’s the module I’m missing?
Thanks for any tips!
I figured out how to generate a Program Change from the MIDI notes of a Drambo pads (or any MIDI input really I suppose). I am quite pleased with myself 
What exactly you trying to do? Control the freeze of the Buffer Repeater?
So it freezes when a certain amount of Env Follow is achieved?
Nice work!
Love it when a simpler solution is found!
How did you work it out? And why do those numbers work?
I monitored the note CV output from MIDI-to-CV and it starts off at -0.50 (which I don’t fully understand). Then I was playing around with the Scale module, initially thinking setting a scale value of 128 would give me a 0-127 range but I noticed the C on each octave was 16 integers apart. So a lightbulb went on - if 128 gives me 16 notes per octave I have to scale it by a factor that is a multiple of 12 hence setting the scale value to 96. Then I had to deal with the offset separately as the Scale module gave me a note range of -48 to whatever. So then I was getting the correct integer value from the MIDI notes (CV)
Then it was just a matter of sending that value into the PC Generator but you have to disconnect the MIDI on the PC Generator module otherwise it sends the note as well as the PC (or the MIDI monitor seemed to show that it did).
Hooked up my P6 and it works perfectly - P6 Pattern select via MIDI notes in Drambo 
Exactly this … or the inverse 
Any ideas?
Magic! Thanks for the explanation!
Might even be able to use the Scale and Offset module to shrink it further?
Well the freeze is an on/off type situation.
The Env Follower gives an analogue amount depending on the strength of the input signal.
So, I guess you’d have to decide on a certain threshold that triggers the freeze.
Many ways to do that!
Could try using a Scale module and adjust to taste?
Or a function A>B (with a Number module) to output a 1 when it goes over the threshold.
Probably many other ways to do it!
@neilbaldwin will probably come up with a better way, smug git
Hmmm. The problem seems to be the Freeze on the Buffer Repeater is VERY picky about what it accepts as a control value. Seems to only accept a Switch Button or MIDI gate.
Edit: oh that’s weird it suddenly started accepting 0.0 to 1.0 as a switch control.
Could do something like this.
The A>B function compares the output of the Envelope Follower (0.0->1.0) to the Slider value and outputs a 1.0 if one is bigger than the other. The output from the A>B is then connected to the Freeze. You can use the Amount (on the Env Foll) and Slider to sort of control the sensitivity.
Cheeky bastard stole my idea
