iPad Music Apps?

I dont think so , this feature is unique to the Octatrack i think.

Afaict no, no per track. But there are ofc trig conditions (not the same, i know).

To select steps for editing display, press the left or right arrows to move between groups of steps. If you press the button in the middle (“1/2”), it will toggle between showing 16 or 32 steps in this case (I have a 32 step pattern loaded).

As far as polyrhythms, no way to do that in standalone, but you could achieve it by hosting several instances of Drambo Auv3 in AUM. Each instance could be a different length and track multiplier. not as elegant as Elektron. But I think Drambo is gonna be (IS) a really awesome music app.

EDIT: there is a conditional step component called “jump” that will allow you to create polyrhythms in a single instance of Drambo.

I wish in aum I could mark fave plugins and also search by plugin type. I know there is a search function ( by name ) but many has weird names with no relation to why they do

Vcvrack has a tagging system, very useful .

Yes you can:
Load the Recorder and in the sequencer, hold a step while hitting the REC button to start recording at that position. You p-lock the REC button And voila :yum:

it‘s very powerful for creating stuff, but as far as I can tell, I don‘t see me using this for live sets with dozens of longer studio stems, mixing tracks together, resample on the fly etc
If it can do it, I still don‘t think the Ipad interface is suited for such things

But as far as I can tell you can’t plock the clear button, and the recorder will not rerecord unless the first recorded sampled is cleared…

Oh damn didn’t realise you could p-lock the record button

tempted to get Pure Acid, on sale right now… already own TroubleMaker, but it seems like PA is a lot of fun - and a self-contained app which is always nice on iOS.
does anyone know if you can have different step length per track on the drum machine tracks?

Not sure, I can’t see a way to do this looking at it, but could be hidden away. But it’s a great app regardless, really fun and is actually my go to for drums when using AUM as they sound great (all the classic x0x sounds) and it has multiple outputs.

I love pure acid. What’s great about it is it’s simplicity. Easy to make fun acid phrases and then distort at will with effects. Also works well with Ableton.

I bought groove rider soon after and was disappointed with the UI. It’s powerful, but they crammed too much into the interface and the UI is /meh.

Yeah, same re: GR-16, I can’t get into it at all but PA is wicked

I can only recommend giving Grooverider a second look… worth it.

I don’t think so. The drum sequencer is very basic. But you could use the brambos sequencers to sequence the pure acid sounds in aum.
The bass sequencer is great though, love it.
Pure acid sounds much closer to a 303 to me than troublemaker

Nice! And it’s iPad friendly since it has faders instead of knobs.

Anyone know a stable way to sync transport from the iPad to hardware (or vice versa)? I have AUM, Audiobus, a cck, but I never really succeeded.

Oh, and I really love Drambo and Shoom!
