You can create different configurations in dictator mode. Not sure if you can assign each via MIDI for quick switching. I do have the eight effects assigned to pads as MIDI notes. I then go into the settings of each and configure it how I like it so that I press a pad to get a certain level of effect. But I use the faders mostly on my Launch Control XL to adjust the effects. I love that controller for iOS apps since its gives three rows of eight knobs, eight faders, and 16 pads. I just bought an Octatrack yesterday for the first time and can see that the Launch Control XL would actually make a great controller for it so I can avoid some menu diving (plus Iām not the biggest fan of endless encoders).
Okay so you have 8 effects numbered 1-8 on the right there, on the left that 1-8 are your effects. The coloured bars are where they turn on, the centre of those bars means the effect is fully on. The fader on the side is the dictator, move it and all the knobs turn at once. Each effect on there has a sub menu where you can tweak it in detail, and your presets are different setups of effects. Each preset saves its dictator setup too. Another fun thing is mapping the fader to dry/wet on the top there. Also there are tons of effects to choose from, so from those you can set up 8 effects and automate them all in fine detail with one fader. You can also randomise the dictator with the little dice on the left
This adds pretty funny, for the computer version but whateverā¦
Should answer all your questions @Ryanā¦ 
Thought Iād also mention that I sometimes use the iPad turnado as a midi controller for the turnado audio unit in logicā¦
This way I donāt get the extra latency of running audio through the iPad, and since the iPad is not processing the audio, I can background turnado and switch to another IPad app with plenty of cpu for it to useā¦
With ICM4+ and a router I can control it wirelessly evenā¦ and it feels like your just using the iPad appā¦

Yeah, iOS music has really stepped up over the last year or two. For iPad especially, but also amazed by what I can do on my iPhone SE.
Multi-track export, Ableton set export, Ableton Link for syncing, AU synths and effects.
Another thing worth checking if you havenāt is Studiomuxā¦ can route midi and multi-track all your audio tracks into Ableton using only the lightning cable!

Yeah, Midimux and Studiomux are awesome (although sometimes buggy)

Iām having he hardest time sending my Ableton sequencer to studiomux- any advice? I can successfully get the sound from my iPad into Ableton. I can play on my push and keyboard and have it work on my iPad- but when I try to lay down a sequence- nothing(even on the Push2 step sequencer it the lads play a note)
Iām trying to watch videos- but Iāve got Track and Remote listed for every for every available device and nothing
Might be a bug with latest version, I just tried it and the first Studiomux plugin I loaded received the audio but couldnāt send it midi from Ableton. Sorted it by deleting that track and creating some new midi tracks with Studiomux generator plugins which are working fine with midi and audio. Simple fix but worth a try! Could just be the first instance of the plugin you load doesnāt receive midi for some reason.
Think you only need to select track, remote, sync if you are trying to sequence/play an Ableton instrument with an iOS app. I have all those options turned off and it still sends the midi to my apps.

Thank you very much! Iāll give it a try! Iāve heard the thing was buggy- so I couldnāt determine if he issue was the app or user error! I do recall loading a second one up at the beginning and it actually worked.
Thanks!
BTW, when was the last update?

Funny thing happened. After restoring Auxy into my new iPad Mini 4, days later I noticed on my last page of Apps that it had also been downloaded to my iPhone SE.
I opened it up and all my projects were already synchronized. Total bonus. Iāll take this future over the flying cars future, thank you very much.
Also, I hear there is a large Auxy update imminent. Sample import and better sync capabilities with other apps are expected.

Yeah. I love that iOS feature
That feel when youāve been recording all your loops and trimming them, naming them, and then exporting them into Mobilelite app to be fed to OT, and then you find out BM3 spits out perfectly trimmed normalized loops straight into Mobilelite for easy octa export

Are any of you getting terrible clock from an external source (OT) on Elastic Drums? Patterning seems fine, but itās all over the place in ED, drifting from almost -1bpm to +1bpm.
How are you all doing MIDI? Routing through AUM (or other) from external or direct from external source? All iPad apps using same app sequencer?
Am I the only one whoās not gelling with Elastic Drums?
Iām not really a fan of it either- but I didnāt want to impede on everyone elseās parade

Yeah- Iāve had a bit of luck combining the various sequencers. Mainly the Bassline being modulated with Cells- just because itās a huge pain to program extended melody lines-never collider with LFO.
Iāve been trying to work with Elastic Drums alongside Patterning with AUM, during the composition phase.
Sync isnāt always tight. But I can work around it as I render multitrack Ableton sets from both apps and combine the sounds there.
Otherwise yea, I gel alright with it.
Now that is a feature worth checking BM3 out for! Thanks for the tip.
not sure, as Iāve never tried it. Somehow doesnāt appeal to me at all.
